American One-Way Logic:
Rule One: Whatever I need, such as rare earths, you must ensure supply; whatever I have in surplus, such as soybeans, you must open your market.
Rule Two: Whatever you need, such as high-end chips, I will prohibit sales; whatever you excel at, such as electric vehicles, I will reject outright.
Rule Three: All transactions must be settled in my currency; but when you profit from it, I accuse you of "economic aggression."
Rule Four: When I refuse trade, and you turn to other countries, I accuse you of "coercing other countries, building dependence"; when you expand cooperation, I claim you are "setting debt traps, harming partners."
In short, this is a set of "winners never break the rules" game rules.
Purchasing from you is called ensuring supply;
Selling to you is called opening the market.
Blocking you is called technological protection;
Obstructing you is called fair competition.
Using my dollar is natural;
Earning my dollar is economic aggression.
If you strive for self-reliance, it is called coercing partners;
If you cooperate for mutual benefit, it is called a debt trap.
— In short, the right to interpret the rules always lies with me
