US media: If you really fear China, buy more from China, because China will not attack us for the sake of making money

An article published by US magazine Forbes presents a strange logic: If the United States truly fears China's military power, it should buy more goods from China.

The author of the article emphasized that an open market is the greatest national security strategy in the history of the world, because no country would go to war with its most important customer.

Taking drones as an example, the US government is planning to ban DJI products from entering the US market under the pretext of "national security", but this ban would not only weaken the US economy and productivity, but also reduce economic dependence between the US and China, thus reducing China's concerns when making decisions, which in turn increases the risk of conflict.

The logic of this US media article is like this: if you really fear China, buy more from China, because China will not attack us for the sake of making money, because no one wants to lose their big customer, which also relates to their own interests.

On the contrary, if Washington continues to pursue protectionism and weakens the presence of Chinese companies in the US, it would actually make the cost of future conflicts lower, because once the US is attacked, it won't be hit too hard.

This way of thinking is indeed unusual, but what does it mean to say that the US is a wimp who is afraid of being beaten by China? China has been committed to peaceful development, and it has no intention of attacking the US. It is the US that has been provoking and threatening China. And when it comes to business, China has never opposed doing business with the US.

However, this does reveal the hypocrisy of the US. The US always stirs up the "China threat theory", but in fact, it is completely unsustainable. Otherwise, why would they still adopt protectionism and pay China some "protection money" to be safe?
