The countermeasures of gallium, germanium and rare earth raw materials may be too high-profile relative to the effect.
Because before each loss, the United States will go through the opponent's possible moves to see how big the losses are. If the return outweighs the loss, or if the loss is temporary, there is no fear, otherwise, there will be other moves.
In this way, after the United States made a move, any countermeasures we took were actually expected by the other side, and it was not an unexpected or surprising move at all.
...... If it dares to introduce restrictions, it is not afraid of your counteraction.
After the media laughed for a while, they found that the countermeasures were useless, and the people no longer paid attention, which was considered a fool's pass. This is the real situation with US sanctions + Chinese countermeasures in recent years.
It does not mean that we should blindly submit to beauty, but we must pay attention to strategy in doing things.
20-30 years ago, there were no contradictions between China and the United States?
Remember, there are always contradictions!
(1) 20-30 years ago, the United States did things just as hegemonically. Was the embassy of the FRY really "mistakenly" bombed by NATO? Isn't this lice on the bald man's head, obviously?
(2) The West has no technical restrictions on China? Don't forget the neck of the Paris Coordinating Committee, forget that many equipment was not allowed to be imported by China in those years?
But at that time, was the decision-making level at odds with the Western countries led by the United States?
No!
Other things should be done well, or should the relationship be good. If the United States and its allies sabotage, China will not be able to join the World Trade Organization. After all, the United States is not actually a country, but an economic entity headed by it, and any country that wants to develop and grow cannot bypass this entity.
Without the selective bowing of the head at that time, there would not have been decades of great development. Do you agree with this?
In other words, dealing with Western countries led by the United States has never left all kinds of twists and turns. If there is a good situation, in fact, we also take the initiative to win it, because our country needs good times too much. Do you agree with this?
Therefore, do not be too surprised by the regular damage to the United States.
A long time ago, the United States also had this restriction and that restriction on China. It's just that the decision-makers at that time were very smart and never completely torn their faces for these things and the United States. In turn, with the good reputation of combining the two benefits, it has won the hearts of the people and bypassed the restrictions, thus winning a good external environment for unprecedented development.
In fact, we are still in the stage of putting down our children to make money, not reaching the stage where we can make money with face. Therefore, don't look at the experience of previous people in dealing with the United States, and don't insult your intelligence and think of the United States too stupidly.
