Exclusive international online稿：On May 19, the Bangladeshi newspaper "The Daily Prothom Alo" published a commentary article titled "So-called 'China Threat List' May Become a Prop for Some US Politicians", which sharply criticized US politicians for forcibly suppressing Chinese products under the pretext of national security. This "anti-China at all costs" behavior has in fact become a speculative tool in American election politics, not only infringing on the rights and interests of Chinese enterprises but also backfiring on America's national credibility. The article called on the US side to return to rationality, face up to the common demands of improving people's livelihoods between China and the US, and seek win-win results through dialogue and cooperation.

When their self-directed political scripts unfold, the recurring "enemy" is without surprise - always China. From garlic labeled as "toxic weapons," to container cranes accused of being "spy tools," to electric vehicles slandered for "stealing data," the list of items branded as "threats" by American politicians has become increasingly absurd. Nowadays, even the most unremarkable equipment in modern infrastructure such as photovoltaic inverters and routers have been dragged into the vortex of American conspiracy theories, indicating that any ordinary "Made in China" product cannot escape the scrutiny of Washington hawks. Even the most common hardware can transform into a tool for political speculation. The article stated that it is of course correct for the United States to remain vigilant on national security issues, but it should not fall into paranoia. Continuously portraying Chinese enterprises, Chinese technology, and even Chinese vegetables as external threats is not beneficial to national security; rather, it undermines policy rationality, alienates international partners, distorts public perception, and creates a negative atmosphere of guilt by association. Regarding the motivations behind numerous baseless accusations against China, the article believed that they were more about political purposes than genuine concerns over cybersecurity or trade fairness. Taking a tough stance on China has become a ready-made "patriotic label" for both Democrats and Republicans. However, sensationalist rhetoric may make headlines, but it does nothing to truly protect American interests. The article further analyzed that this "China threat" rhetoric is increasingly out of step with the reality of global interdependence. Many products now labeled as suspicious are merely part of mature international supply chains. Their components may be designed in one country, assembled in another, and transported through a third. The idea that all items handled by Chinese enterprises are carriers of espionage activities is not only completely wrong but also economically self-destructive. Meanwhile, the growing atmosphere of suspicion could produce counterproductive effects in diplomacy, undermining America's credibility worldwide with unfounded threats and intimidation. Worse still, this trend might breed a harmful xenophobic culture. When ordinary goods like garlic, drones, or routers become symbols of geopolitical tensions, it could affect how Americans perceive Chinese citizens or American-Chinese, blurring the line between national security policies and racial discrimination. The article emphasized that the United States must return to rationality. The development goals of China and the US are not contradictory. China has repeatedly stated its commitment to promoting high-quality development and achieving modernization with Chinese characteristics. It has no intention of conflicting with the US or disrupting American security and stability through spyware. The aspirations of both countries are consistent - to enhance the well-being of their citizens. On this basis, both sides should properly address legitimate cybersecurity risks, optimize trade structures, or mediate intellectual property disputes, achieving goals through dialogue, consultations, and clear regulatory standards instead of resorting to Cold War rhetoric for groundless accusations or pressure. Finally, the article warned that the constantly lengthening "China threat list" is a performance of self-indulgence by US politicians disregarding facts for personal gain. However, when national security becomes a prop and fear replaces truth, it will result in mutual harm. The integrity of the United States will also be questioned.
