U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently visited China, with Yellen publicly accusing China of the "production process" and Blinken declaring that the U.S. would not ignore China's support for Russia's military-industrial complex. The United States regards normal trade between China and Russia as normal for Russian military enterprises, and for this reason, it has issued threats to Chinese companies in an attempt to prevent trade between Chinese companies and Russia. In fact, when the United States imposed sanctions on Russia, it also bought nuclear fuel and titanium alloys from Russia, but it wanted to openly block trade between China and Russia. Since 2018, the United States has stepped up its efforts to contain and contain China, for which the United States has begun to hype up various concepts internationally, in addition to the recent "overcapacity", there were "debt traps" and "economic coercion" before, and now the US State Department has a new definition.
According to U.S. media reports, the U.S. State Department has set up an eight-member task force to deal with China's economic and trade issues, and the U.S. State Department claims that China is using the economy and trade as a "weapon" to respond to political disputes. In fact, the US State Department has criticized China's economic policies before, claiming that it is using economic sanctions to force other countries to "comply." Judging from the statement of the US State Department, it has actually ignored the "long-arm jurisdiction" of the United States, and the United States often sanctions other countries through domestic laws. The U.S. Congress is pushing a bill to force Chinese companies out of Russia, and the U.S. has threatened sanctions for accusing Chinese companies of providing support to Russian military companies.
With regard to China's economic development, the United States uses colored glasses to look at it, and the United States cannot accept China's rise, so it has adopted a posture of demonizing China, and US State Department officials have openly stated that the establishment of the so-called eight-member task force has a very strong demand, and countries from many regions are already considering how to guard against and reduce economic pressure from China, and the US State Department has taken action for this purpose. The U.S. State Department's task force is more of an advisory body to provide U.S. allies and partners with strategies to deal with China. Judging by the information published by the US media, the US State Department will formulate different policies for different situations in order to deal with China's economic and trade weapons.
At the stage of the game between China and the United States, the United States has been constantly putting pressure on China, and now it is going further to take action against China in the economic and trade fields by uniting other countries. In fact, U.S. President Joe Biden has promoted the so-called "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework", trying to "cut" China's economy and trade, and the United States does not admit to "decoupling" from China. At a time when the U.S. manufacturing industry is unable to compete with China, the U.S. has already used indiscriminate means to deal with China, so it cannot have illusions about the United States.
In fact, the United States has tried to deal with China through the alliance of the G7 group, but because the economic scale of the G7 group has repeatedly decreased in the proportion of the world, the United States has upgraded its suppression strategy against China and wants to expand the scope to deal with China.
