The United States is very likely plotting something new against us! After the China-US trade war reached substantial consensus, many people believed that the alarm for the continuous decline of China-US relations had been lifted. However, various signs show that this is more like a halftime break, and the US is preparing for the second half of the game. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine that after Trump repeatedly stated that the Geneva talks were very friendly, the relationship between the two countries was very good, and we did not intend to harm China, the US suddenly targeted Huawei's AI chips.

In fact, after the basic consensus was reached in the China-US engagement, Treasury Secretary Bessent said, "We do not want to decouple from China across the board, but we hope to decouple strategic necessities." Therefore, the US targeting Huawei's AI chips this time is not accidental but a precise choice of target. This most likely foretells that in the second half of the game, the US will impose even stricter technological blockade on us.

What do we mean by "decoupling strategic necessities"? The meaning behind these words may have two implications: first, China will not obtain any high-tech products from the US; second, the US intends to strangle potential Chinese high-tech products that could become strategic necessities for the US, killing them before they succeed, preventing Chinese high-tech products from gaining access to the international market. In short, the US aims to win future industrial competition and become the dominant force in the global technology trade, regardless of the means used.

Now we see clearly enough that in the economic and trade field, Bessent's voice is becoming increasingly significant. This statement from Bessent is not accidental but reflects his consistent thinking. Therefore, we must not be complacent, believing that initially repelling America's trade offensive will make the US give up. In fact, as China's military strength becomes more evident, the China-US博弈 will increasingly shift to an invisible battlefield. This unseen competition is highly likely to intensify!
