In today's discussion, we'll delve into some of America's "small moves."
That is, the United States is trying to continue to maintain its global hegemony by economic means, especially against China.
In recent years, the global economic landscape has witnessed China's rapid rise as one of the world's leading economies, which has clearly touched a sensitive nerve in the United States.
First, to be clear, the U.S. global economic strategy appears to have shifted from direct political or military intervention to a more nuanced and complex strategy of economic influence.
Although the United States has exercised influence on other countries such as Germany and Japan through military dependence or financial control.
But for a country as militarily and economically autonomous as China, these tactics clearly no longer apply.
The United States and other Western countries seem to be constantly trying to shape an opinion by controlling media discourse and the release of economic data.
China's economy is losing its share of the world, especially in the areas of manufacturing and exports.
In addition, they trumpet China's aging population and declining investment efficiency, in an attempt to indirectly influence China's economic policy and direction.
In terms of specific economic instruments, the United States and its allies have stepped up economic pressure on China.
For example, by promoting supply chain diversification strategies, reducing dependence on Made in China, while restricting market access for Chinese goods through trade protectionism.
These actions are not only aimed at weakening China's export competitiveness, but also seek to reshape the competitive landscape of the global economy through economic means.
It is important to note that these tactics used by the United States are not direct economic sanctions.
Rather, it is more insidious market and policy influence, which makes its influence more widespread and far-reaching.
U.S. economists and rating agencies such as Moody's have further influenced international investors' confidence in the Chinese market by issuing negative assessments and forecasts for China's economic outlook.
This strategy is unique in that it seeks to manipulate not only the interpretation of economic data, but also the public's perception and reaction to that data.
In addition, China's own economic policies and development strategies are also seen by the United States as a potential point of influence.
Through various international forums and media, the United States has frequently emphasized the argument that China's investment efficiency is declining and economic growth is slowing.
Trying to induce the Chinese government to change the economic growth model it has relied on for a long time.
The danger of this strategy is that if the Chinese government adjusts its policies in response to such external pressures, it could adversely affect the long-term stability and growth of the Chinese economy.
Combined with the above analysis, this series of actions by the United States not only shows its determination to maintain its leading position in the global economy.
It also reflects its concern about China's continued economic growth.
In this complex international economic environment, how does China respond to the U.S. economic strategy?
How to adjust its own economic policies to maintain stable and sustainable development will be the focus of the global economy in the coming years.
