Today's United States is Already Vulnerable to Such a Situation?

This afternoon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying answered questions raised by Chinese and foreign reporters on hot issues such as Sino-U.S. trade frictions.

According to reports, the U.S. Treasury Department is considering the use of emergency power laws and other measures to restrict Chinese investment in the United States. Hua Chunying stated that Apple's mobile phones are widely seen in China. We do not think this is a threat, but some people in the United States think that if someone Buying Huawei mobile phones has become an important issue that threatens US national security. Is the United States today vulnerable to such a situation?

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong issued an article in the Washington Post on the 18th saying that the levying of unilateral tariffs is not the correct way to solve the problem and will seriously damage the multilateral system based on rules. In addition, IMF President Lagarde urged all countries to abandon trade protectionism when attending the IMF and the World Bank's spring annual meeting. Countries should work together to resolve trade differences. What is China's response to the above remarks?

China noticed that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stated in his article that the issue of trade deficit is caused by domestic reasons. When domestic consumption is greater than production, there will be a trade deficit. Trade restrictions are neither the cause of the trade deficit nor the solution to the deficit. The Chinese side has always believed that the problem of trade imbalances must be resolved, but it is impossible to find the wrong reasons, and it is even more difficult to open the wrong prescription. History has proved time and time again that closure will eventually only lead to a blind alley, and only by opening up and cooperation can the road go further and wider.

Regarding the trade friction between China and the United States, we have clearly and clearly demonstrated China’s position on many occasions. This is a struggle between multilateralism and unilateralism, global free trade, and protectionism. The international community should jointly safeguard the multilateral trading system based on free trade and work together to promote the sustained recovery of the world economy and international trade.

At present, China-US relations are at a crossroads. How the future development of Sino-U.S. relations depends to a large extent on what kind of mentality the two parties choose today to look at themselves, see the world, and view Sino-U.S. relations in an ever-changing world. If we allow the Cold War mentality and the "zero-sum" game to dominate us, then all we have to do is trap and conspiracy. If we embrace a more active and cooperative attitude, we will be able to understand new trends, seize new opportunities, and turn challenges into opportunities to bring tangible benefits to the peoples of the two countries. It is hoped that some people in the United States will be able to refresh their ideas and concepts in international relations and adapt to the trend of the times, rather than the trend.

Last year, the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress in China reached 57.5%, and its contribution to world economic growth exceeded 30%. China is vigorously implementing innovation-driven development strategies. The pace of technological innovation in China will not be stagnant due to certain noise and interference.
