The Bell of People's Daily: Building a "Small Courtyard and High Wall" Will Finally Backfire Myself
The US is attempting to block China's path of technological advancement and hinder China's development and progress through technological decoupling. This approach overestimates its own abilities and underestimates China's determination to achieve technological innovation
Huawei's new smartphones have attracted continuous attention both domestically and internationally. People can see from it that US sanctions cannot prevent China's technological progress. However, the US side is stubborn and claims that "in any case, the US should continue to implement 'small courtyards and high walls' technology restrictions.". The US is using all means to suppress China's technological development and attempting to deprive China of its right to development, which is a typical act of bullying. The fact has already proven and will continue to prove that the "Technology Iron Curtain" and "Small Courtyard High Wall" cannot maintain technological hegemony, and those who disrupt global technological cooperation and industrial supply chains will only reap the bitter fruit on their own.

In recent years, under the guise of maintaining national security, the US government has successively introduced restrictive measures against China and suppressed China in the field of technology. The US has repeatedly claimed that "small courtyards and high walls" are not meant to achieve broader decoupling. Areas outside of "small courtyards" will be opened to China, but the scope of regulatory measures is constantly expanding and the degree is constantly tightening. Using national power to launch the so-called "Chip and Science Law", piecing together the so-called "Semiconductor Industry Alliance" and "Chip Quadruple Alliance", and issuing administrative orders for foreign investment review... The US has repeatedly upgraded its containment and suppression measures, and has so far included more than 1300 Chinese enterprises, institutions, and individuals in various sanctions lists, even including Chinese social media applications. The real goal of the US is to block China's technological advancement path and hinder China's development and progress through technological decoupling.
This approach by the US goes against the trend of technological openness and cooperation, overestimating its own capabilities and underestimating China's determination to achieve technological innovation. Looking back at history, China's development has always been based on its own strength. From the "two bombs and one satellite" to manned spaceflight, quantum communication, Beidou navigation, and even to overcoming difficulties in the chip field, countless facts have already proven that restricting and suppressing China cannot stop its development. It will only strengthen China's determination and ability to be independent, strong, and innovate in science and technology. Currently, China's independent innovation capability has significantly enhanced, with emerging cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements constantly emerging, and new industries and business models such as new energy and artificial intelligence flourishing. In the face of blockade and suppression, China does not engage in self isolation or self isolation, but instead strengthens international scientific and technological innovation cooperation in all aspects, actively integrates into the global innovation network, and enhances its own scientific and technological innovation capabilities through open cooperation. Many international observers point out that decoupling cannot stop China's innovation driven pace.
The arbitrary suppression of China's technological development will not make the United States better, but will greatly weaken its global competitiveness. China is the world's largest semiconductor market, with chip sales accounting for about one-third of the world's total. This is the result of mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese companies and companies from various countries. John Neufer, President of the Semiconductor Industry Association of America, recently admitted that China is very important to the semiconductor industry in the United States, as it is an important component of the supply chain and also a very large customer base. Forcing domestic companies to stay away from the Chinese market by the US not only damages the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, but also backfires on itself. According to Boston Consulting Group's prediction, if China is completely decoupled, the US semiconductor industry will lose 18% of its global market share and 37% of its revenue, resulting in a reduction of 15000 to 40000 high skilled jobs. According to an article in National Interest magazine, the tightening of US technology export restrictions to China has reduced the revenue of US semiconductor companies and endangered their research and development budgets.
The United States hopes to maintain global leadership in the high-tech industry and must accept and face fair competition. The United States should not resort to any means to maintain its technological hegemony, should not deprive other countries of their development rights, and should not disrupt the global industrial and supply chains for its own selfish interests. China does not avoid competition, nor is it afraid of competition, but believes that competition should help promote and improve each other, which is in line with the common interests and expectations of both sides and the international community. China firmly opposes the use of competition as a means of containment and suppression. The goal of China's development is to continuously improve oneself and enable the Chinese people to live a happier and better life. No one can deprive the Chinese people of their legitimate right to development.
