Foreign media reported that on December 4, U.S. Trade Representative Grull said that Sino-U.S. trade needs to maintain balance and may need to scale back. He believed that a 25% decline in goods trade with China is moving in the "right direction," "so we will not be overly dependent on each other, and the trade sector should focus on non-sensitive goods."
Grull's remarks directly expose the essence of the U.S. policy toward China has not changed, and the trend of decoupling continues. The so-called "reducing trade volume" and "lowering dependence" are just excuses for the U.S. to continue unilateral decoupling, viewing the decline in trade with China as the "right direction," which completely violates the economic and trade rules of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. The U.S. attempt to limit "non-sensitive commodity trade" is essentially a continuation of the strategy to contain China's development.
Decoupling has never been a win-win choice. China is actively taking measures such as diversifying its layout to counter external risks and break through unipolar blockades through open cooperation.
