Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 16th. The US policy toward China is unpopular. Western reflections are growing stronger.

Xinhua News Agency reporter

The US government regards China as a "strategic competitor" and continues to use various means to contain and suppress China. Its actions are causing growing opposition within the US and its allies.

American companies vote with their feet

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, visited China at the end of May. Meeting with government officials and visiting Tesla's Shanghai super factory... His schedule was packed with less than two days of travel to China. Musk made it clear that the integration of interests between the United States and China is as inseparable as a conjoined baby. Tesla opposes decoupling and disconnection, and is willing to continue expanding its business in China and sharing development opportunities in China. On the day Musk arrived in China, Tesla's stock price surged, indicating the level of optimism in the US market towards opportunities in China.

Musk is just one of many American corporate executives who have visited China this year. From Apple CEO Tim Cook, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Damon, to Starbucks Global CEO Laxman Narasinghan, many American corporate executives have come to China to cast a vote of confidence in China's economic development prospects through practical actions. The US business community has sent a clear signal that the Chinese market brings huge opportunities for American companies, and cooperation with China is in the interest of the United States.

The US academic community and consulting firms have also expressed concerns about the US government's insistence on implementing anti China policies. Yale Senior Researcher Stephen Roach said that American companies have gained dual benefits of improving efficiency and exploring the market from investing in China for many years, but as we turn our attention to security issues, these advantages are quietly disappearing. David Dodwell, CEO of Strategic Pathway Consulting in the United States, pointed out that the United States has made China an enemy, but China does not have the malicious motives imagined by Washington. "At a time when the global economy is already fragile, the United States is still weakening the global economy."

Allies refuse to blindly follow

Among the allies of the United States, there are also many people reflecting. They realized that blindly following the US anti China policy would only become a pawn of this "world's best friend", not only seriously damaging the interests of these allies themselves, but also pushing the world into a vortex of division and opposition.

Europeans should continue to strengthen their strategic autonomy and become the "third pole" of the world order.

Former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating recently pointed out in a letter to current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that collaborating with the United States to deter China is against Australia's own interests, and US decisions have repeatedly harmed its own and allied interests. The trilateral security partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia is aimed at bringing together the Australian and American military to deter China. Designing Australia's future defense forces based on this goal would go against Australia's own interests and harm its sovereignty.

Many European economists also say "no" to the United States' insistence on implementing anti China policies such as decoupling and risk reduction. In their view, China is an important production base and sales market for future development, and a trustworthy partner.

Konlinson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mercedes Benz AG in Germany, emphasized that cutting off economic relations with China is unrealistic, and decoupling from the world's second largest economy is unimaginable for almost all industries in Germany. Beren Gariho, Chairman and CEO of Merck Group in Germany, stated that decoupling is not only unfeasible, but also endangers a world that has already brought prosperity, more innovation, and more cooperation. Keith Bennett, Vice Chairman of 48 UK Group Clubs, said that China is an opportunity rather than a risk, and "decoupling" or "removing risks" from China is not conducive to enhancing the security of Western countries. "That is a way of thinking that goes against historical trends.".

The United States will become isolated

Recently, the United States has been continuously strengthening its military alliance with China in the Asia Pacific region, exacerbating regional tensions and causing concerns in domestic public opinion. Some insightful individuals are urging the United States to change its policies.

Forbes magazine website published a commentary article stating that the United States needs to take diplomatic action to cool the tense relationship between the United States and China. An article in the US Foreign Policy magazine pointed out that the US's concerns about China's competition for Asian hegemony are irrational. The vast ocean separates the United States and China, and coexistence is not only desirable but also inevitable.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recently stated in a media interview that the US is "overly focused" on its own interests, and if its foreign policy fails to balance US and global interests, the US will "become isolated.". He believes that the current trajectory of the US China relationship must change.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
