In-depth analysis: The intention behind the hype of China's new energy "overcapacity" in the United States
Recently, U.S. politicians have continued to hype up the "overcapacity" of China's new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic products and other "new three" products.
This topic has not only attracted wide attention in US political circles, but has also aroused heated discussions in the international community.
So, why is the United States hyping up China's new energy "overcapacity" so much?
What is the underlying intention?
This article will take a closer look at this.
1
First of all, we must be clear that the hype of US politicians about China's new energy "overcapacity" is not groundless. In recent years, China has indeed made remarkable achievements in the fields of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products.
Especially in the field of new energy vehicles, China has become the world's largest producer and sales country.
However, this does not mean that there is a so-called "overcapacity" problem in China. In fact, from the perspective of export prices, capacity utilization, inventory, etc., China's new energy vehicles do not have the problem of overcapacity.

So why is the United States hyping up this topic?
There are several reasons for this.
First, it is necessary to curb the development of China's high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries. The United States has long regarded China as its most serious strategic competitor, so in the economic field, the United States has tried to suppress China's high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries by various means.
As a key area for green and low-carbon transformation and future development, the new energy industry has naturally become the focus of US competition and containment and suppression against China.
By hyping up China's new energy "overcapacity", the United States is trying to create negative public opinion about China's new energy industry in the international community, which in turn affects its international image and market share.
Second, support the development of new energy industries in the United States.
For a long time, the development of the United States in the field of new energy has been wavering, resulting in many new energy companies missing an important opportunity period for industrial development.
In order to catch up with the pace of new energy development, the United States has concocted the argument of "overcapacity" in China's new energy, in the final analysis, to gain more time and space for the development of the local new energy industry.
By hyping up this topic, the United States can take this opportunity to provide more policy support and financial support to the domestic new energy industry to promote its rapid development.

Third, to serve the political needs of the United States.
At a time when the United States is increasingly anxious about China's continued development and growth, it has become a natural choice for the United States to use China as a "scapegoat," to shift the contradictions outward, and to show strength against China.
By hyping up China's new energy "overcapacity", US politicians can take this opportunity to divert the attention of the domestic public and cover up their own shortcomings and mistakes in economic development and social governance.
At the same time, it can also be used as an opportunity to stir up populist sentiments and serve its own political interests.
In the face of US hype, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying posted on overseas social media exposing the "double standard" remarks of Yellen and other US politicians.
Hua Chunying pointed out that the double standard of US politicians on the one hand vigorously subsidizing their own industries, while on the other hand, accusing other countries of having "overcapacity" is unacceptable.
At the same time, she also emphasized that the development of China's new energy industry is based on technological innovation, market demand and national policy support, rather than the so-called "overcapacity".
In fact, the hype of US politicians about China's new energy "overcapacity" not only lacks factual basis, but also has strong political color and bias.
From a global perspective, the development of China's new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic products and other "new three" products is in line with market demand, and is also an important force to promote the global green and low-carbon transformation.
Therefore, we should objectively look at the development status and future trend of China's new energy industry and avoid being misled by the hype of American politicians.
At the same time, we should also see that the development of the new energy industry is a global trend, and all countries are actively promoting the development of related industries.
In this process, competition is inevitable, but competition should be fair and benign.
U.S. politicians are suppressing the development of China's related industries by hyping up China's new energy "overcapacity", which is not only unethical, but also detrimental to the healthy development of the global new energy industry.

To sum up, there are multiple intentions behind the hype of China's new energy "overcapacity" by US politicians, including curbing the development of China's high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries, supporting the development of the new energy industry in the United States, and serving the political needs of the United States.
However, this kind of hype lacks factual basis and objectivity, and we should keep a clear head and objectively look at the development status and future trend of China's new energy industry.
At the same time, we should also actively promote the healthy development of the global new energy industry and make greater contributions to promoting the global green and low-carbon transformation.
In addition, we should also realize that in the face of such hype and suppression by the United States, China will not be easily shaken.
With a firm national will and a strong industrial foundation, China will continue to promote the development of the new energy industry and contribute to the global green transformation.
At the same time, China will continue to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with other countries to jointly promote the prosperity and development of the global new energy industry.
Finally, it should be emphasized that the development of the new energy industry is not only an economic issue, but also a major issue related to the global ecological environment and the future of mankind.
Therefore, all countries should abandon prejudice and double standards, and jointly promote the healthy development of the global new energy industry with an open, inclusive and cooperative attitude.
Only in this way can we truly achieve the goal of green and low-carbon transformation and create a better tomorrow for the earth's environment and human future.
