The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China wrote on May 19: "U.S. Treasury Secretary Bestant said: Our goal is not to decouple from China, but to open markets and restore balance. We will continue to trade with China at lower tariff levels, especially in non-strategic goods sectors. At the same time, we are committed to bringing key industries such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and steel back to our home country to protect America's national security interests."
Treasury Secretary of the United States' statement about "not decoupling from China" contrasts sharply with the proposition of "key industries returning to their homeland". Essentially, this is an attempt by the U.S. to enjoy the benefits of China's market while curbing China's development through "selective decoupling" in critical fields. This involves forcibly cutting ties with China in core technologies and high-end manufacturing, fully exposing the contradictory mindset and hegemonic nature of the U.S. in its economic and trade policies towards China.
Although the U.S.'s stance appears "moderate", it actually harbors ill intentions. As the world's second-largest economy, China has already established a complete industrial system and strong innovation capabilities. In response to the trade war and technology war initiated by the U.S., China accelerates breakthroughs in key core technologies to promote self-reliance and control, while continuing to expand openness and deepen cooperation with more countries to build a diversified industrial chain layout.
