Didn't Biden close the door to negotiations, the United States directly intervened, saying no to China's high-tech investment! Also, don't forget, the Japanese side is not idle, and a lot of US debt is dumped. What's going on? Are China and the United States really going to say goodbye?
It all started on June 21 this year, when the U.S. Treasury Department quietly made a big move and issued a so-called "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking." The direct target of this move is China's semiconductors, microelectronics, quantum information technology, artificial intelligence and other fields. The United States wants to close the door of the high-tech field to China and block it tightly.
Why is the United States doing this? They say it's for the sake of "American security", which sounds quite reasonable, but who can say how deep the water is behind this? And once the United States discovers any violations, it is not as simple as issuing a small fine, and may even be subject to civil penalties and even criminal prosecutions. Looking at this posture of the United States, it is simply trying its best to deal with China's high technology.
Didn't Yellen say that "decoupling from China" is not good for the U.S. economy? How can the United States make this kind of move again in the blink of an eye? Yellen added that this is not to decouple from China, but to find a "reasonable" way to manage the competition between the two countries. To put it bluntly, the taste of duplicity is not ordinary.
Just when everyone was still speculating about what the United States would do next, the news not long ago scared everyone again. The United States is still brewing a new move, wanting to kick the Bank of China out of the SWIFT payment system! This operation is not just as simple as financial sanctions, it is simply to push China out of the door of international finance.
In 2017, the "301 investigation" launched by the United States during the Trump era has actually pushed Sino-US relations to a delicate balance point. Since then, the attitude of the United States has been the same for a while, saying cooperation today, sanctioning again tomorrow, and saying that it does not want to decouple the day after tomorrow.
From the suppression of ZTE and Huawei, to the sanctions against China's chip, aviation, and shipbuilding industries, the United States' goal is very clear - that is, to limit China's scientific and technological development and weaken China's competitiveness. And to tell you, this is not over, recently the United States began to impose tariffs on China's electric vehicle industry, can you believe this operation? The United States is clearly planning to "wage war" against China in an all-out way, from science and technology to finance.
In the face of all kinds of suppression by the United States, China has not only not been crushed, but has become more and more self-reliant in technology, especially in the field of chips, not only to achieve high-end self-research, but also to successively launch large domestic funds to support the development of the whole industrial chain. Don't look at the U.S. sanctions, China's commercial aircraft C919 was also born, and this technical level is comparable to that of the United States.
Just when the war between China and the United States, which was not filled with gunpowder, intensified, Japan suddenly made a move and sold US bonds on a large scale. This trick is really eye-catching, I don't know if I see the dilemma of the United States, and I want to take advantage of the fire to rob it. When the "economic war" of the United States was raging, I did not expect that its allies might have to change their faces.
This game between China and the United States is really more exciting than any TV series. With suppression and sanctions on the one hand, technological breakthroughs and independent research and development on the other, this war seems to be a contest of technology and finance, but in fact it is a game of deep-seated national strategy and global layout. It's really unknown who will have the last laugh.
