United States strikes again! China's hard power counterattack, the process is too exciting!

Recently, the United States government once again launched a new round of suppression of Chinese car companies under the guise of "national security". This was followed by high tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in early September, followed by a ban on key hardware and software in connected cars between China and Russia on September 23. This series of tough measures is undoubtedly a clear declaration of war against the continuous escalation of restrictions on China's auto industry.

In Raimondo's view, foreign parts and components may use connected car software to steal sensitive data, and even control vehicles in extreme cases, causing crashes and traffic jams. However, it is well known that this is just a pretext carefully concocted by the United States to suppress Chinese car companies, and the real motives behind it are far more complex than "national security".

First of all, in the face of the sudden emergence of Chinese car companies in the field of electric vehicles, United States's anxiety and uneasiness are becoming more and more obvious. Despite high hopes for the Inflation Reduction Act, which seeks to nurture homegrown electric vehicle and battery production chains, United States' efforts pale in comparison to China's long-entrenched supply chain strengths. This anxiety drives the United States to ruthlessly suppress Chinese car companies at the expense of consumer interests and undermine the level playing field in the global market.

Second, so-called "national security" concerns are nothing more than a political trick used by United States politicians. They claim that Chinese or Russia cars may pose a national security threat, but this argument is based entirely on speculation and bias. China has always upheld the principles of respecting the privacy and security of foreign customers' data and adhering to fair competition, while the United States has unjustifiably projected its own surveillance and interference onto China. This practice of "treating others as one's own" is not only absurd and ridiculous, but also exposes the hypocrisy and double standards of United States politicians. In connection with the recent explosion of electronic communication products in Lebanon, many voices in the outside world suspect that United States may be involved.

Thirdly, the urgent need to protect the local industry is also an important motivation for United States to suppress Chinese car companies. With a complete supply chain and low-cost products, Chinese companies such as BYD have taken the United States market by storm, catching local manufacturers such as Tesla off guard. United States automakers' gaps in low-cost electric vehicles stand in stark contrast to China's BYD's strong offensive. Even with the high tariffs, BYD still maintains a significant price advantage in the United States market. This has put pressure on United States automakers to seek asylum from the government. The United States government is nothing more than adopting a "small courtyard and high wall" strategy, cloaked in the cloak of "national security", and unreasonably suppressing China's rise.

Of course, we have long been accustomed to all kinds of smears against United States. We are well aware that no matter how the external wind and rain change, the vigorous development of China's automobile industry and even the entire technology field is an unstoppable historical trend. United States' strategy of self-isolation and suppression is tantamount to using its mantis arm as a car, which will eventually reap its own consequences and be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of history.

And this series of incidents has once again exposed the true face of United States' foreign policy -- containment, suppression, and threats -- have become its usual means of maintaining hegemony. A major country that is supposed to lead the progress of the times is indulging in despicable acts of obstructing the development of other countries and undermining global cooperation, which is not only a betrayal of the spirit of the times, but also a complete abandonment of the responsibility of a major country. The small size of the United States is evident from this.

Especially in the context of China's strong rise, United States' fear and jealousy are like wildfire, which is difficult to contain. In areas of strength, it seeks to cut off China's path of progress through technological blockade; In disadvantaged areas, they abuse policy tools in an attempt to hinder the development of other countries by improper means. This kind of behavior not only exposes the narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness of United States, but also highlights its gaffe and panic in the global competition in science and technology.

And let's take a look at how China is doing.

In the field of traditional automobiles, China once lagged behind, but we have found another way to achieve a corner from the field of new energy vehicles. Once upon a time, "lack of core and soul" was a painful pain in China's science and technology field, and now, this situation is undergoing a historic transformation.

The latest data shows that in the first seven months of this year, China's total chip exports have soared to 640 billion yuan, which not only surpasses traditional export strengths such as automobiles, mobile phones, and home appliances, but also has become the largest export industry in China. What is particularly striking is that in the field of 7nm and above process chips, China has built a complete industrial chain, and the chip self-sufficiency rate has achieved a leap from less than 10% in the past to 25% today.

In the face of the continuous suppression and blockade of United States, China's chip industry has shown amazing resilience and creativity. The United States first tried to curb the development of Chinese chips by blocking lithography machines, and then enlisted allies to form the "Chip Quadripartite Alliance", intending to impose a technological blockade and isolation of China on a global scale. Every lockdown in the United States is like injecting a boost into China's scientific and technological innovation, giving birth to more innovative achievements.

The breakthrough of Chinese chips has once again proved the ineffectiveness of small courtyards, high walls, technical blockades and long-arm jurisdiction. These measures may be able to temporarily lock in some technologies, but they cannot stop the torrent of scientific and technological innovation in China.

Of course, this is not only true for automobiles and chips, but also in other fields, just like the shipbuilding industry before it.

United States continues to hype up the "China threat theory" on the international stage, and even labels China as the "biggest challenge in history" in United States, and uses this as a reason to aggressively increase investment in the local shipbuilding industry. Not only did it unilaterally launch a Section 301 investigation into China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding industries, but it also maliciously fabricated that Chinese-made cranes had safety risks, claiming that these devices could be remotely controlled by China, causing United States ports to be paralyzed and logistics chains disrupted at a critical moment. This kind of groundless accusation and malicious smear is actually the long-term use of technology and equipment by the United States itself to steal other countries' secrets, but they have put such a label on China's head, and its absurdity is self-evident.

However, despite a series of tough measures, the United States has ended up with nothing in the end.

Now why should United States join hands with Japan and South Korea to build ships? The main reason for this is to respond to the strong competition in China's shipbuilding industry through low-cost shipbuilding strategies.

In addition to this, there may also be considerations for United States in terms of military strategic deployment. On the one hand, there has been a vacuum in United States' strategic deployment in the Western Pacific region, which has to be filled by allies such as Japan. On the other hand, it may be tempting to use these warships as "outposts" for United States military missions in the region. In the event of an emergency or the need for military intervention, the United States can quickly mobilize these warships.

No matter what purpose the United States cooperates with Japan and South Korea in shipbuilding and maintenance this time, it is difficult to hide the strategic anxiety and short-sighted behavior behind it. The rise of China's shipbuilding industry is the inevitable result of China's economic development and scientific and technological innovation, and it is also the full embodiment of the division of labor and cooperation in the global industrial chain United States.

In short, in this contest, any attempt to curb the development of other countries through improper means will eventually reap the consequences. United States's narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness not only harm their own interests, but also undermine the atmosphere of fair competition and cooperation in the global market. For China, this is not only a test of strength, but also a reflection and reshaping of the global governance system. China is leading a new international order that is more just, reasonable and inclusive with practical actions, and the United States' approach will become a negative teaching material in the historical process.
