The US sanctions against Chinese companies have reached the point of madness, sanctioning a total of 1,300 Chinese companies in five years. Even so, the United States still has no intention of stopping, continues to expand the scope of sanctions, and recently even fined its own people 300 million US dollars.
What are the reasons for the US sanctions against Chinese companies?
The trade war between China and the United States began five years ago, and in order to justify its own behavior, the United States has implemented "de-risking" of some import and export enterprises for the sake of national security.
During her visit to China, Yellen also pointed out with the Chinese representative that the United States is acting as a last resort to risks, not against China, and there is still a broad space for cooperation between China and the United States, and we cannot just focus on this small part and give up big cooperation.
All US sanctions and supply cuts are almost exclusively aimed at China, and the intensity and means are unprecedented, and it is not a cooperative attitude at all.
Moreover, the part that the United States wants to cooperate with China is only for cooperation that is in line with the interests of the United States, such as liberalizing the export of gallium and germanium, buying a large amount of US debt, and so on. And the interests related to China, such as lowering tariffs and lifting restrictions on supply cuts, they keep silent.
So the reason for the US sanctions against China is that there is no reason. Or in other words, depending on the mood, I will cooperate closely when I am in a good mood, and increase sanctions if I am in a bad mood, completely treating national relations and bilateral trade as a child's play.
Heavy penalties are also imposed on U.S. companies that are not on the control list!
Recently, there was a case by the US Department of Commerce that thoroughly verified this view, whether or not to impose sanctions completely depends on the mood, and the bill formulated by itself can be dismissed, which is completely the final interpretation right belongs to the US side.
Seagate Technology, a major manufacturer of mechanical hard drives, fined Huawei, a $3.1 billion fine that the Commerce Department said violated export control laws for a $1.1 billion order with China's Huawei.
Seagate explained that Seagate is not in the regulatory treaty, how can it violate the relevant legislation? The U.S. government responded that the deal with Huawei was not in the national interest and posed a threat to national security, hence the fine.
Seagate was also helpless, in order not to affect other overseas businesses, it could only obediently pay the fine and reach a settlement with the US government. Of course, after paying the fine, the order with Huawei can be regarded as a waste.
Not only in the field of chips, but also other high-tech electronic components and software and hardware, the United States has imposed a blockade on China, which shows that the United States' suppression of China has reached the point of madness, even its own people are not spared, and the United States' own enterprises have been severely punished many times and are miserable.
For American companies, they do not support the US government to do this, after all, businessmen are based on profit, without the support of the Chinese market, the scale and production capacity of many companies are shrinking.
And without the nurturing of the market, R&D investment will also decrease, which makes technological development stagnant.
The CEO of NVIDIA in the United States said that the Chinese market is irreplaceable in the world, and the loss of the Chinese market will make the profits of all technology giants fall seriously. Instead, China is looking for an alternative to us, and the pace of development is alarming.
The United States is going further and further down the road of unilateralism
The United States has been sanctioning and suppressing China for five years, and there is no intention of stopping so far, so for a long time in the future, the world will enter the road of anti-globalization.
For American politicians, suppressing China can divert internal contradictions and gain more votes and support. It is almost impossible to get them to deregulate the bill, admit past missteps, and make irrationality of the bill.
Therefore, the United States is now riding a tiger and going further and further down the road of unilateralism.
The United States itself has paid a huge price for 5 years, and at this time, abandoning sanctions has not only been in vain for so many years, but also indirectly acknowledges the Sino-US trade struggle, and the United States is the first to compromise, which the United States cannot accept in any way.
This may be the bottom thinking of the West, what others gain is what they lose, the world can only have one hegemonic country, and there is no room for the two systems to prosper together.
The underlying ideology of the Eastern world is the wisdom of Datong, and only by continuously strengthening cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation for all parties. Cooperation always gives more to cooperation than confrontation and confrontation.
China will only unswervingly realize the path of self-development, and any factors that hinder our development will be eliminated, and it has nothing to do with us how Western society views the world.
It is hoped that the United States will wake up at an early date and join the camp of cooperation, and the cooperation between the two world powers will certainly bring earth-shaking changes to the world.
