"Trade war, sanctions, give me a hard time!"
At the moment when Blinken's flight from Beijing took off, most netizens collectively spoke out, which is not a joke, but a side portrayal of China's intimidation of the United States, which is an absolute confidence.
First of all, during Blinken's visit to China, the Chinese side fiercely "choked", and a series of unreasonable demands were generally rejected. He then openly accused China of being "hegemonic" at a press conference.
And not long after he returned home, the United States released cruel words to impose a "full-scale trade war" level of containment on China!
However, what people did not expect was that in the face of such a major provocation, China did not show weakness and seek peace as it did in the past, but instead clearly demonstrated its determination to "break the kettle and sink the boat".
Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" withstood the vigor of "official announcement" and openly voiced: Trade war? China is not afraid now!
In fact, there is only one reason - China's industrial upgrading has finally achieved almost all phased goals through nearly ten years of hard work, and it has basically been able to compete with the United States in all fields!
A phenomenal data: in 2015, China's "Made in China 2025" put forward 200 important development goals, 86% of which have been achieved, and the remaining 8 months can achieve high scores and pass the assessment.
China's ubiquitous industrial upgrading, to be specific, is alarming.
In the field of information technology, China's 5G equipment has formed a global dominance, which was contained by the United States in the past, and now a large number of overseas countries are using Huawei 5G.
Integrated circuits, operating systems, industrial software, etc. are ahead of the United States, and after the development of automation technology for intelligent manufacturing, the production capacity advantage has reached as much as 200 times.
In the field of aerospace, the successful advent of the C919 large aircraft broke the long-term monopoly of the United States and Europe.
In the field of new energy and power equipment, China has a more comprehensive layout and occupies a dominant position. Photovoltaic power generation accounts for 90% of the global market.
Medical science is an area in which the United States has strengths, but China is still counterattacking and making breakthroughs, developing the world's most advanced nuclear magnetic resonance machine, and anti-cancer drugs are better and cheaper.
Although there are shortcomings in the fields of satellite networks and advanced chips, on the whole, China's leading industrial pattern is a foregone conclusion.
In the past decade, China has been intensively cultivating in every field of manufacturing, and through independent innovation and opening up to the outside world, it has finally caught up with the once unattainable level of developed countries.
Some have questioned that China's capacity expansion could overdraw resources and cause great harm. But in retrospect, such skepticism is too short-sighted and arbitrary.
It is clear that China's capacity expansion is not blind and disorderly, but is moving towards a higher level and greater strength. While promoting the development of strategic emerging industries, it is also optimizing and adjusting the traditional industrial structure, and constantly refining and strengthening niche fields.
This means that China is no longer a development mode with only a single advantage and excessive dependence on resources, but has initially built a development model with a whole industry chain that a superpower should have.
Trade wars and decoupling?
With such solid and powerful industrial support, China will naturally be full of confidence and have the audacity to argue with the United States.
Obviously, so-called "containment" measures such as trade wars and decoupling can no longer make China timid. On the contrary, China is now the one who has the most nothing to fear.
In fact, the root cause of the repeated attacks by the US side is precisely because it is aware of China's rise. Especially in the field of emerging technology manufacturing, China's overtaking speed is staggering, and the United States is losing ground.
The United States has threatened to engage in a "full-scale trade war" in an attempt to regain dominance in key industries. But now, it's too late to intervene by force.
China not only has hard power support such as aerospace, satellites, and communications, but also has broken new ground in basic industry, high-end manufacturing, new energy, artificial intelligence and other fields.
It can be said that China has firmly established the belief that as long as we stick to our own development path and maintain the existing industrial system, anyone's threats and sanctions will be self-defeating.
It's as the above said: "Trade wars, sanctions, come on!" This is a domineering declaration of war, directed at the United States.
From now on, China will respond to any provocation by the United States with a more confident and calm attitude. Because behind this, there is a superpower's all-round industrial power superimposed.
There is no time to wait
We are not advocating antagonism, nor are we blinding ourselves to momentary pride. After all, the interests of China and the United States are highly integrated, and the two sides should promote a constructive development relationship based on the principles of mutual respect and mutual benefit.
At the same time, however, we must also be soberly aware that some politicians and interest groups within the existing US system may continue to pursue a series of practices that undermine Sino-US relations and contain China's rise.
In this regard, China will have to be fully prepared to respond and, if necessary, respond forcefully. After all, a country's right to development cannot be denied.
At this point, there is no way back for China. Only by sticking to its own waterways and constantly attacking cities can we win the initiative in the increasingly fierce trade war and industrial confrontation.
And, time is running out. China's industrial power has accumulated to such a scale today, and it is already a dull process.
Perhaps, this is the destiny of God that China will fight against the odds at this critical moment, build up the industrial foundation, consolidate the foundation, and win solid development momentum for itself.
Therefore, defying difficulties and forging ahead bravely and resolutely may be the inexhaustible and precious quality of the Chinese nation's unremitting self-improvement.
With the blessing of this force, no matter how many trade wars or containment measures emerge, China will eventually be invincible!
