ZTE Huawei United States not be able to compete, so it banned Huawei.
Douyin United States could not compete, so it wanted to shut down Douyin.
China's new energy vehicles cannot compete, so China's new energy vehicles are banned.
Chinese drones are too advanced, and they still can't compete, so they are all banned.
Now, the United States wants to ban another potentially high-end technology product made in China — humanoid robots.

According to the United States lobby and some anti-China lawmakers, China has made great strides in humanoid robots, which have various advanced skills and will soon enter the global market on a large scale.
With such advantages in scale, technology, quality, and price, China will most likely continue to monopolize the global market.
Once these robots enter the United States market, enter United States factories and homes, they will not only have a fatal impact on the humanoid robot market and enterprises in United States, but also pose a serious threat to United States' national security, because these robots that will accompany United States are actually made in China. What if these robots are controlled by the Chinese to engage in sabotage?
These lobbies quickly fell into delusions of victimization.
This playbook is the same as the United States' ban on Chinese electric vehicles this year.
At that time, United States Secretary of Commerce Raimondo was blindfolded and told nonsense that if Chinese electric cars were allowed to enter the United States market, China could afford to turn off all these cars on the road at the same time.
We all thought United States were being sensational.
It wasn't until last week that Microsoft Corporation United States suddenly made the world's Microsoft computers blue screen of death, whether airport banks or hospital computers, unusable, causing global chaos, we really realized that United States are not exaggerating, they really have the ability to control the world's computer systems, so that they fall into crash at the same time.
It is precisely out of fear of its own ability to do evil that the United States treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, believing that China will definitely do the same.
In United States's view, in this world, it is only natural that United States can control and endanger other countries, but not the other way around, and no other country can endanger the security of United States, even if there is such a possibility.

The main lobbyist who proposed in advance the threat of Chinese humanoid robots to United States security this time was still Jacob · Herberg.
This Hellberg was the main lobbyist who pushed the Biden administration to implement a TikTok ban in the first half of this year.
As previously counted, this person's other identity is United States director of a company that sells defense and security software and services.
They sell their software and services by playing up foreign threats to the United States Congress.
They built a platform between Silicon Valley technology companies and members of Congress in United States, so that the Douyin ban could not only satisfy the purpose of Silicon Valley companies to suppress opponents, but also win attention for anti-China politicians, get orders from them, kill three birds with one stone, and thus promote the introduction of the Douyin ban.
Herberg also became famous.
On the basis of his accumulated experience and fame, as well as his network resources, he has now begun to push the so-called Chinese humanoid robot security threat.
The routines and recipes are still familiar tastes. First of all, we try to exaggerate the advanced and threatening Chinese products.
The humanoid robot produced in China has human facial expressions, can withstand people's punches and kicks without falling, and can run at speeds of up to 11 miles per hour.
These robots will be mass-produced, and on the surface they can do a lot of work that should be done by humans and are human helpers, but Herberg said that these robots produced by China are also a huge security threat to United States and on United States soil.
Because they are always invisible troops, they can cause damage to United States property, life and infrastructure through hacking and sabotage at any time.
Herberg warns that humanoid robots are now a year away, and in another year, they will usher in the critical moment of chatGPT 4, which will suddenly enter our lives and subvert our cognition. If United States does not act now, it will be too late.

Of course, United States is also developing its own humanoid robots, even more technologically advanced than China. For example, Musk's company launched the Optimus robot, and OpenAI's humanoid robot.
So why should United States worry?
Because the competitiveness of robots in United States is not good.
China has now formed a scale advantage in the field of robotics, which is very similar to the path of China's electric vehicle development. Many Chinese companies are already competing privately and have developed the advantage of scale.
This kind of large-scale competitive advantage has prompted the robots generated in China to quickly iterate, upgrade and optimize, and form market competitiveness.
Just imagine, in the future, United States can launch one or two humanoid robot manufacturers, their technology is slightly ahead of China, but the price is several times higher. Production capacity can't keep up.
In China, there may be nearly ten companies that produce this kind of humanoid robot, and the humanoid robot they produce has better functions, more humanization, and more in line with user needs, but only needs 30% or even less of the United States in price. How can United States compete with China?
Even if United States can protect United States local market through the ban, the entire global market will be the world of Chinese robots.
What's even more terrifying is that United States see that this is not only a problem of electric vehicles and humanoid robots, but in almost all fields, whether it is high-speed rail, shield machines or shipbuilding, fighter planes, aircraft carriers and other military fields, China can play this scale advantage, technological advantage, competitive advantage.
So by this time, can the United States say that China is because of government subsidies and support?
Isn't this already an advantage of an advanced system that can be applied to almost all fields?
If the application of a system and a model to any field shows that such a system can produce higher efficiency and better results, then this is already an institutional advantage.
If China has this institutional advantage, then the next thing the United States will face will be not only the competition of electric vehicles and humanoid robots, but also the competition of almost all product categories in almost all fields in China's future.
In all of these, China will have the upper hand. Then how can the United States rely on a banned word at that time?
If the development of electric vehicles in China has also experienced the process from following and running to leading, then this humanoid robot, our layout is likely to be directly running and even leading from the beginning. United States companies may not even have a chance to run out.
In the future, more industries and products are likely to be directly led by us.
How should the United States be banned?
The United States lobby group exaggerated the threat of humanoid robots in advance, and there was a suspicion of hyping it for selfish gain. However, this reflects our technological and institutional advantages, which are not necessarily a bad thing for us. The United States can use the ban to close itself off, but the result of this is to cede the rest of the world to China.
