Recently, the economic game between China and the United States has entered a new stage. Specifically, after U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's visit to China, the Western media began to hype up the so-called "overcapacity" topic in China, and tried to use this as an excuse to impose unjustified sanctions on more advanced industries in China, including China's new energy industry and steel and aluminum industry. What is even more excessive is that the US State Department Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patar recently said that the United States is ready to take further measures against a number of Chinese companies suspected of supporting Russia's military industry, which clearly wants to smear China and curb China's industrial development. Two successive signals are enough to show that the Biden administration, which is poor in donkey skills, has begun to wantonly make up various reasons to do things again. It's just that what Biden never expected was that the first to expose his lies would be his own people.
Recently, Charles Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, admitted in an interview in the U.S. House of Representatives that in fact, China has not provided any military assistance to Russia in connection with the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This statement is just diametrically opposed to the previous statement of the White House, such a naked slap in the face, which made the Biden administration make a big joke in front of the world.
So the question is, why does the Pentagon so disagree with the White House's lies and firmly deny China's involvement in military arms assistance to Russia? First, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has touched a critical bottom line, and the groundless slander against China is likely to be counterproductive. At present, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is no longer a simple local conflict war after many rounds of games, and European countries such as France are ready to officially end at any time. Under such circumstances, if the United States does not want Russia to have more help, it is unlikely that it will be able to push China too much.
And now the Biden administration's slander against China, once the scope is expanded, it is likely to be self-defeating, forcing China to really fully support Russia, so that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will completely get out of control, and then Western countries will really steal chickens and rice. Second, sanctions on China-related companies may affect U.S. military companies. For a long time, the Pentagon and American arms dealers have maintained a close bond of interest, and this military-industrial complex has become a big existence. In this case, if the Biden administration wants to sanction relevant Chinese enterprises, it is fully expected that it will be met with reciprocal countermeasures from the Chinese side, and the US military industrial enterprises will inevitably bear the brunt. Biden's stupidity is to be paid for by the Pentagon, and the military is naturally unlikely to do what he wants.
All in all, Biden's trap against China was exposed by his own people before it even began to operate, which is enough to show the political chaos in the United States and the Biden administration's lack of grasp of the overall situation. The United States, which has long been advertised as a free market in the economic game between China and the United States, now does not even have the courage to compete head-on with Chinese products, and only wants to restrict the development of China's industry by fabricating false topics, which is crooked after all. It may have some effect in the short term, but in the long run, the lack of competition and endogenous power in the US industry will only make the US decline faster.
