Boeing's recent delivery of a high-profile 787 Dreamliner to China's Juneyao Airlines has eased tensions between China and the United States over the safety of Boeing airliners.
However, just behind the delivery, U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo once again ignited the war between China and the United States, announcing that it would review the way U.S. companies purchase Chinese semiconductors, claiming that it is to prevent China from posing a "national security risk" to the United States.
Boeing's two crashes have raised questions about the safety of its airliners around the world, and the fluctuating relationship between China and the United States has led to Chinese airlines not purchasing Boeing airliners since 2019.
However, on December 21, Boeing announced the delivery of a 787 Dreamliner to Juneyao Airlines, in an attempt to renew ties with China, and at the same time hope that this move will accelerate the lifting of the freeze on Boeing 737 MAX deliveries in China.
The U.S. Secretary of Commerce's actions made the performance on the stage confusing. Raimondo announced that it would review the purchase of Chinese-made semiconductors by American companies, claiming that it was due to national security concerns.
He not only mentioned restricting the export of high-end chips by American companies to China, but also imposed restrictions on the import of traditional Chinese chips. The decision has sparked unease in the industry, as China has made significant progress in low-end chips, despite the fact that there is still a gap in the high-end chips.
The "China Committee" of the U.S. House of Representatives is even more outspoken, saying that urgent action is needed to prevent China from dominating the traditional chip market, which will have an excessive impact on the global modern economy. This rhetoric begs the question, is there a genuine concern for national security, or is the United States feeling threatened by China's technological rise, escalating the game to the level of the global modern economy?
The political wisdom of the United States lies in dressing up its true purpose as political correctness, elevating the game between China and the United States to the level of impact on the global modern economy. However, none of this can hide the decline of the United States in the manufacturing sector. The U.S. high-end manufacturing industry still maintains a leading position in the world, but the low-end manufacturing industry is stuck in a cycle of high costs and inefficiency.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. should reflect on its domestic problems, rather than taking various restrictive measures to suppress the rise of Chinese companies. The Biden administration's policies have not received widespread support at home, inflation is a serious problem, and Trump's approval rating has overtaken. In the coming 2024, when Trump returns to power, the United States may change course and continue to waver.
Raimondo's statement this time completely exposed the true face of the United States. China has adequate countermeasures to counter U.S. restrictions at a critical moment. Competition in science and technology should be fair and cooperative, not to hinder the development of other countries through political means. The main reason for the U.S. dilemma in manufacturing is not China's competition, but its internal reasons.
