United States is once again imposing high tariffs on Chinese goods, a trade war with no winners.
Someone on the United States asked: Why is United States so mediocre that it cannot compete with China, so it chooses to cheat by imposing tariffs?
In this regard, let's take a look at the opinions of netizens from various countries.
This netizen thinks that this question should be replaced by what United States politicians are so stupid, United States politicians think that tariffs can weaken competitors or make their products more expensive, but the interesting thing is that this does not hurt China, but hurts the lives of United States citizens, let's take a look at the views of netizens below.
Since the 80s of the 20th century, the United States auto market has been protected by a variety of means, and the prospect of importing cars from China is slim, and Biden's tariff statement is intended to show favor to Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
And Europe actually plans to import a large number of Chinese electric vehicles, which can help quickly meet the green goal, but out of health concerns for European manufacturers, the course has been changed, and then let's see what the netizens downstairs think.
This netizen believes that United States fight with China for victory, even if it will drag other countries in the world into the water, it doesn't care, United States will continue to get things from China, but it will pay a higher price, but this is all so that United States can wage war against China.
United States warmongers must hope that the problem with China can be solved through war, even United States a little more sober will impose sanctions on China economically, never underestimate United States ambitions for China, even if China has not done anything to hurt him, so what does the netizen below think about this?
This netizen's answer is that the ruler of the United States only sees the short-term interests in the short term, and does not care about the long-term development, and even hopes that the other party is an ignorant person who can be deceived arbitrarily.
But China will consider further development, so under the collision of the two ideas, the United States will definitely show its minions in the early stage, but it will decline over time.
The United States imposes high tariffs on Chinese goods
In May 2019, the United States government announced that it would impose 25% tariffs on about $300 billion worth of Chinese goods.
This is another move by the United States government to escalate the trade war after imposing tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods last September.
The tariffs cover a wide range of goods, from electric vehicles and semiconductors to solar cells and steel, covering almost all of China's major export industries.
The United States government claims the move is to punish China for "unfair trade practices," protect United States' intellectual property and technology, and promote United States economic growth.

However, to many economists and industry experts, this is more of a political show.
United States President Donald Trump urgently needs some political achievements to attract the attention of voters, and being tough on China has always been a means for United States politicians to win votes.
As a strong contender for the Democratic Party, Biden naturally does not want to fall behind on this issue.
As a result, we see an interesting phenomenon: the Democratic Party has always advertised free trade and opposed trade protectionism, but now Biden has also joined the ranks of imposing tariffs on China and is-for-tat with Trump.
The mainstream media in United States has clearly seen this, and the New York Times bluntly said that Biden's plan to impose more tariffs on China is "mostly symbolic."
The Wall Street Journal warned that tariffs could backfire, hurt the United States economy and provoke retaliation from China.
In fact, after the United States imposed tariffs on Chinese goods last year, data from the United States Department of Commerce showed that United States businesses and consumers paid tens of billions of dollars more for it, and most of that money ended up in the pockets of the United States government.
At the same time, China's retaliatory tariffs on United States have also hit United States farmers, manufacturers and exporters hard.

Tariffs will not stop the development of China's related industries
At the same time that the United States government announced high tariffs on Chinese goods, a piece of news that made the United States auto industry anxious also came out: China's small electric vehicles are rapidly occupying the European market with their excellent cost performance.
Most of these models cost around $10,000, nearly half as cheaper than their United States counterparts.
What's more, they are not inferior to their United States and European competitors in key indicators such as range and battery life.
In the global electric vehicle market, Chinese companies are rapidly emerging as a force to be reckoned with with their diligence, wisdom and innovative spirit.

In 2020, China's electric vehicle sales accounted for 41% of the world's total sales, ranking first in the world for six consecutive years.
Chinese companies are not only dominating the domestic market, but also beginning to accelerate their going abroad, setting off a "China storm" in overseas markets.
In the face of the rapid development of Chinese companies, the United States auto industry seems to be at a loss.
For a long time, United States auto companies have been accustomed to dominating the domestic market and enjoying high profits, but under the wave of globalization, this situation has become unsustainable.

United States companies can no longer rest on their laurels behind closed doors, but must go to the international market and compete with companies from China, Japan, Germany and other countries.
In this process, some shortcomings and weaknesses of United States companies have been exposed.
In addition to electric vehicles, United States companies also face fierce competition from China in semiconductors, batteries, solar energy and other fields.
In fact, the decline of the United States manufacturing industry has been evident since the 70s of the last century, when the United States was facing a series of economic problems such as the oil crisis and stagflation, and a large number of manufacturing industries moved out, and the so-called "rust belt" appeared.
Since then, although the United States economy has recovered, the proportion of manufacturing has continued to decline, and the service industry has become the main driving force of economic growth.
At the same time, the United States' trade deficit is widening, and manufacturing jobs are being lost.
This trend cannot be reversed by China alone, and even without China, United States manufacturing will be affected by competition from Japan, Germany, Korea and other countries.
It can be said that the root of the problems of United States manufacturing lies in the United States itself.
United States repression and sanctions
In the 50s of the last century, Western countries imposed an arms embargo on China, cutting off China's access to advanced military technology.
In the face of this situation, China did not sit idly by, but rose to the occasion and worked hard.
Under the leadership of the party and the government, China's military industrial enterprises have worked together to overcome one technological difficulty after another through self-reliance.
From airplanes and tanks to missiles and satellites, China's military products have developed by leaps and bounds from scratch and from existing to excellent.

Today, China has become the world's second-largest military spender and has a modern national defense force.
The United States arms embargo, far from curbing China's military modernization process, has become a driving force for China's military enterprises to strive for strength.
In the 90s of the last century, Western countries, led by United States, excluded China from the International Space Station program.
In the face of this unfair treatment, China has resolutely decided to build its own space station.

After years of hard work, China has successfully launched the Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2 space laboratories, laying a solid foundation for the construction of the space station.
In 2021, the core module of China's space station, Tianhe, was successfully launched, marking China's full entry into the space station era.
In the field of satellite navigation, China has also experienced a development process from being excluded to being self-reliant.
In the 90s, United States militarized the Global Positioning System (GPS) and banned Chinese access.
In the face of this technological blockade, China resolutely decided to develop a satellite navigation system on its own.
In 2000, China launched the Beidou Navigation Satellite System project.
After 20 years of unremitting efforts, the Beidou system has become an important part of the global satellite navigation system, alongside the GPS of United States, GLONASS of Russia, and Galileo of Europe.

In the face of United States's trade suppression, China will also turn the crisis into an opportunity and turn pressure into power.
Under the strong leadership of the Party and the government, Chinese enterprises will rise to the challenge, accelerate the pace of innovation, achieve greater breakthroughs in key core technologies, and occupy a more favorable position in the global industrial chain.
At the same time, China will further open up to the outside world, optimize the business environment, and attract more foreign enterprises to invest in China.
Through deepening reform and opening wider to the outside world, China's economy is bound to radiate more vigor and vitality.
In contrast, the long-term trade deficit and industrial hollowing out of the United States have seriously eroded its economic strength and international competitiveness.
The United States government is trying to solve the problem through trade protectionism, but this is tantamount to quenching thirst and will only exacerbate the internal contradictions of the United States economy.
What is even more worrying is that some politicians in United States, out of selfish selfishness, continue to hype up the "China threat theory", demonize and stigmatize China, and attempt to hijack United States public opinion on the China issue.
This has not only damaged Sino-US relations, but also dealt a heavy blow to United States's own international image and credibility.
epilogue
China's development has never been a threat to any country, but a contribution to the progress of human civilization.
China will continue to hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win results, and work with other countries in the world to make unremitting efforts to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
