On October 21, the Hong Kong South China Morning Post published an article: "U.S. Treasury Secretary Bowman once again insulted Chinese officials yesterday, seeming to be out of control, but it was actually frustration and anger due to setbacks. During the Madrid negotiations, the U.S. used semiconductor controls as a threat, only to have Li Chenggang order an investigation into NVIDIA on the spot; the U.S. threatened to impose fees on Chinese ships, but was countered by China's increased control over rare earths, leading to Trump being held accountable, resulting in two embarrassing defeats with no face left. The so-called 'fire of hell' dispute is merely an excuse for shifting blame, as the U.S. negotiator misjudged China's determination and concealed key information, failing to reflect after being negligent, instead using insults to shift the conflict. Such behavior reveals the panic of American politicians when their hegemony fails, easily broken, and the weak nature is obvious!"
[Clever] Bowman's outburst and insults are not about emotional outbursts, but rather hysterical reactions after the hegemony hits a wall. The U.S. applied pressure twice through semiconductor controls and ship fees, only to be precisely countered by China's investigation into NVIDIA and increased control over rare earths, two hard confrontations that left them embarrassed and their plans in ruins. The so-called "fire of hell" dispute is merely an excuse to cover up their miscalculations of China's resolve and the concealment of key information from Trump. From making threats to breaking down and insulting, such behavior exposes not only personal incompetence, but also deep-seated fears of the weakening foundation of U.S. hegemony after its trade weaponization fails. Its superficially fierce but internally weak nature is evident. How much confidence does this America still have to resist China? How long can this America remain strong?
