Recently, after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's visit to China, it seems that she did not "shake hands and make peace" with China, but instead dealt a ruthless hand to Chinese companies and imposed sanctions. What kind of trouble is this? Does the United States feel that "playing Tai Chi" with China is not enjoyable enough, and that it has to have a "tough encounter"?
Yellen said at a press conference at the U.S. Embassy that whoever provides material support to Russia for the war in Ukraine will suffer, including Chinese companies. This is really ruthless in words, and even more ruthless in action! This clearly shows that it is going to be difficult to get along with China!
To make matters worse, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned nearly 300 targets at once on May 1, many of them Chinese companies. This is like smashing a big hammer on the head of a Chinese company, how can people live?
In the list of sanctioned enterprises, there are those who make chips, those who engage in aviation technology, and those who make electronic products. These enterprises usually do business diligently, but how can they suddenly become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the United States? What is the United States going to do?
In addition to the Treasury Department, the U.S. State Department is not to be outdone, sanctioning more than 80 entities and individuals in one go, including four Chinese companies. Some of these enterprises have supplied electronic parts to Russia, some have sold telescope thermal sights to Russia, and some have exported manufacturing components to Russia. Is the United States trying to completely mess up the relationship between Chinese companies and Russia?
Now, these Chinese companies have suffered. Not only do they have to face pressure from the United States, but they also have to find ways to deal with possible business disruptions and losses. What a disaster!
However, what is strange is that although the United States has repeatedly said that it will sanction Chinese banks involved in "major transactions of military or dual-use goods to Russia", there is no shadow of banks in the latest sanctions announcement. Is the United States giving the banks a chance to "take a reprieve down"? Or are they holding back their big moves and preparing for something bigger?
In short, these sanctions by the United States have brought a lot of trouble to Chinese companies. But then again, doing business is always a bit risky. Whether these companies can survive this hurdle depends on their own capabilities.
The relationship between China and the United States cannot be improved by sanctions and repression. It is hoped that the two sides can sit down and have a good talk and find a solution to the problem, so that the enterprises of the two countries can do business with peace of mind and jointly promote the development of the global economy. After all, in this era of globalization, cooperation is the key to win-win!
