The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the so-called "U.S. Competition Act of 2022," claiming to ensure that the United States is ahead of other countries in manufacturing, innovation, and economic power. However, a large number of China-related contents inserted into the bill are suspicious and disturbing, such as slandering and smearing China's development path and domestic and foreign policies, and interfering in China's internal affairs by means of taiwan-related Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Tibet-related issues.

According to the bill, the U.S. side claims to "vigorously promote" chip investment, allocating $52 billion to support the semiconductor industry, and another $45 billion to improve the U.S. supply chain and strengthen manufacturing. At the same time, however, the bill treats China as a strategic competitor at every turn, seeking to maintain U.S. global competitiveness and leadership through scientific research and technological innovation, as well as alliances, economics, diplomacy, and other means.

It is true that how the United States can enhance its competitiveness is its own business, but the United States should not talk about China, should not curb and suppress China's innovation and development under the guise of "competition", and should not use this to interfere in China's internal affairs and harm China's interests. This 3,000-page bill is mixed with a large number of political private goods and includes various means of containing China, which shows the depth of the obsession of some US politicians to safeguard global hegemony. Among them, the contents of the bill to strengthen US-Taiwan relations seriously violate the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three Sino-US joint communiques, indicating that some people in the United States are still trying to play the trick of "using Taiwan to control China."

American politicians are keen to engage in the China Suppression Act, but entrepreneurs are interested in it. For example, people see that the so-called competition bill is getting longer and longer, and when people who are really knowledgeable attend congressional hearings, they have to face some low-level problems with a helpless face. The most critical factor in the development of science and technology lies in outstanding entrepreneurs and scientific research elites. Whether this bill, which is mixed with political smuggling, can ultimately promote the development of american science and technology has been widely questioned. Some analysts have pointed out that US politicians have simply used the wrong method. Clark, a senior expert in microelectronics at the Hudson Institute, said: "Many times the government throws money, but it does not solve the problem, because the money is not used where it is needed." This bill is one such example. ”

There is a popular saying on the Chinese Internet: "Just give your own light, don't blow out other people's lights." "It is normal and harmless for countries to have competition between countries, but it should be a healthy competition, not a vicious competition of mutual attacks and life and death." The goal of China's development has never been to replace the United States, but to make Chinese people live a happier and better life. China will never allow anyone to deprive itself of its legitimate right to development.

At the end of the day, America's real adversary is itself. Some US politicians have violated the law of science and technology and economic development and pointed the spearhead at China in the name of competition, which will only seriously undermine Sino-US cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, education, and science and technology, and ultimately damage the interests of the United States itself.

According to relevant U.S. laws, the so-called "U.S. Competition Act of 2022" must pass the Senate after it is passed in the House of Representatives, and will not be formally implemented until it is submitted to the president for signature. I would like to advise some people in the United States to get rid of the myth of "looking for an imaginary enemy," view China's development objectively and rationally, and immediately stop advancing the bill. The Chinese side will certainly resolutely and forcefully respond to any evil act of attempting to interfere in China's internal affairs and harm China's interests. Some people in the United States still weigh up well and act cautiously. (International Sharp Review Commentator)
