Preface
The United States is going to do something again?
As we all know, the United States and China have always had a wonderful relationship.
Especially after China became strong, new energy has created heights that even the United States has not reached.
As a result, the Biden administration ended its review of Trump's tariffs on China.
On May 10, the Wall Street Journal of the United States unexpectedly broke the news that the White House would impose four times the tariff on China next week, raising it to 100 percent.
However, as soon as the news came out, it instantly attracted widespread attention from netizens, even at the cost of undermining the international order.
What is the purpose of the United States?
Quadruple tariffs on China
The United States is endlessly against China!
Global Times——2024-05-08——"'Too close to China', the United States revokes their export license for Huawei"
Some time ago, the United States just tightened export restrictions on Huawei.
The licenses of Qualcomm and Intel, the American chip companies, to sell chips to Huawei were revoked.
Such a decision is undoubtedly a fair restriction on Huawei.
The reason for this, it is difficult not to suspect that Huawei will regain the first place in the Chinese mainland market in the first quarter of 2024.
The U.S. is aware that this will have a significant impact on producers.
But it still abuses state power to suppress China's tech companies at any cost.
Such an act of the United States is undoubtedly extremely unfair to China.
However, this move by the United States has not stopped, and then the Biden administration has come with new measures.

According to US media reports, the United States will adjust export tariffs on China next week.
The increase in tariffs on new energy vehicles, batteries, photovoltaic solar panels and other fields has directly increased fourfold.
And according to people familiar with the matter, the news will be reported on the 5th and 15th.
However, there are still many U.S. lawmakers who believe that the U.S. should ban new energy trams in China.
It has also expressed recognition of China's new energy industry before, and it will use various measures to suppress it.
Chinese netizens have said, should you be so inconsistent with your words and deeds?
However, although the United States has made this move, judging by the reaction of some people in the United States, it seems that they are more panicked.
Observer.com——2024-05-11——"The Biden Administration Plans to Impose Quadruple Tariffs on Chinese Electric Vehicles? U.S. analysts warn: China will fight back》
Some US experts and analysts said that this move by the United States is very likely to shoot itself in the foot.
It could have an impact not only on the U.S. economy, but also on China's counterattack.
An American analyst said in an interview that China's new energy vehicle companies have indeed had a great impact on the American Tesla brand after entering the United States.
He believes that Tesla's competition with Chinese trams is also very difficult.
Therefore, the increase in tariffs by the United States is also a measure taken to protect local brands.
But do you think that's all the U.S. has taken? Then you are wrong, because it will also double standard.
The United States is going to do something again?
As China's new energy industry becomes more and more developed, the United States cannot sit still.
Reference News - 2024-05-07 - "China Investment Accounts for 80% of Global Photovoltaic Module Manufacturing"
According to the reference news network, China accounted for 80% of global photovoltaic module manufacturing investment last year.
The United States accounts for only five percent, a figure that also means China's international weight.
Take photovoltaic solar panels as an example, China is very independent in terms of both exports and imports.
On the other hand, the United States and other countries still need to rely on China in this regard.
So even if the United States increases tariffs, it will not have much impact on China.
However, what makes people even more infuriating is that some Western countries, led by the United States, are actually promoting the absurd remarks of China's overcapacity.
Guangming Daily——2024-05-13——"American-style double standard reappearance! Accusations of China's "overcapacity" are untenable》
They believe that China's low-cost export of new energy trams is due to its own new energy overcapacity.
That's why they are exported to other countries, and as a result, the market economy is unbalanced, and the economies of other countries are affected.
In the face of such a statement, netizens expressed their opinions, saying that the United States is too double standard!
Just exporting to other countries is a normal boost to the economy.
The development of new energy in China has affected some tram brands, but China has become overcapacity.
In fact, China's original intention in developing the new energy industry has always been to promote a green and low-carbon life for people around the world.
And not as narrow-minded as some countries say.
In China's eyes, it is not the interests that take precedence over all else.
China wants to provide green products to the world at low prices.
So that Western countries can also better achieve the green transition.
So in the long run, the Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs will have an impact on itself.
However, Biden actually has another purpose for doing this.
The original purpose was for another reason
As we all know, the United States will usher in a presidential election in November this year.
And Biden and Trump will also usher in their second showdown.
The duel between the two is very gunpowdery, and it can be seen that Trump is really open up for this election.
At a congressional meeting, he "threatened" on the spot that if he did not become president, the United States would usher in a "massacre".
And the reason why he is so extreme may also be related to the fact that there are four criminal cases on him.
Especially in the "classified case", if the evidence is conclusive, then Trump will even face jail.
Global Times——2024-05-08——"Trump's 'Classified Documents' Trial Time Postponed Indefinitely"
This is undoubtedly great news for Trump after the news that the classified case, which was supposed to go to trial before the election, will be extended indefinitely.
That would mean if Trump could return to the White House in November.
Then the messy bad debts on his body are very likely to be written off.
And in the face of the threat of Trump, Biden supporters are not afraid.
He even said that he wanted Trump to revisit the taste of failure.
So in this election, Biden and Trump are both riveting.
The reason why Biden increased the tariffs by 4 times is also to try to use this method to canvass for himself and boost his approval ratings.
But no matter how you look at it, these actions of the United States are contrary to the freedoms they advocate.
Instead, they blindly abuse their power to achieve their own goals.
This is what really affects the international order!
