China is now ready to surrender to the United States! and later it will be on its knees,” seven years ago, the Sino-U.S. trade war was in full swing, but a Chinese expert named Machine spoke astonishingly, publicly asserting that this was the last time for China to surrender to the United States in a “decent” manner.
Seven years ago, when the US-China trade war just broke out, the manager of a technology company in Beijing, Mr. Mason, threw astonishing words on social media, claiming that "now is the time to surrender to the United States at the smallest cost", and even attributed China's development achievements to the "gift" of the United States.
In March 2018, the U.S. government imposed high tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products based on trade laws, and the list of Chinese goods quickly expanded to tens of billions of dollars. Chinese export companies are facing severe tests, with declining orders and cost pressures forcing some factories to adjust their strategies and turn to other markets. The global economic chain fluctuated accordingly, and the U.S. stock market once fell by more than 2% in a single day. Business owners calculated potential losses, and the international trade pattern began to reshape. Washington's decision-makers continue to promote tariff measures, covering consumer electronics and machinery and equipment, while China implements reciprocal countermeasures, involving agricultural products and energy products. Throughout the summer, the negotiation process was repeated, and the delegations of both sides met frequently, but the differences remained unresolved. Layoffs in small and medium-sized enterprises have increased, supply chain disruptions have affected global retail, and American consumers have felt the direct impact of rising prices. This friction not only tests economic resilience, but also exposes the risk of relying on a single market, pushing countries to seek diversified cooperation.
The trade war escalated to July, the United States imposed tariffs on $34 billion on Chinese goods, and China responded synchronously, with global port cargo pressure and container transportation costs rising. The enterprise community is generally feeling uncertain, and the technology industry is especially sensitive because it involves intellectual property and high-end manufacturing. Beijing pushed for internal market expansion and encouraged innovative investment to buffer external pressure. International media reports showed that U.S. retail giants such as Walmart’s goods prices rose by 30%, consumer burden increased. This game is essentially a strategic competition, and the United States has tried to curb opponents through tariff barriers to rise, but has ignored the ability of opponents to adapt. China’s exports to the U.S. accounted for
As the manager of the Beijing-U.S. Center for Science and Technology, Mr. Machin posted an article of up to 7,000 words on social platforms, saying that China should surrender to the United States to end the conflict at the lowest cost. He listed economic data, pointing out the high dependence on U.S. exports, tariffs will lead to corporate cuts and industrial chain breaks, stressing the immediate compromise of the association is more decent. Mr. Machin further argued that China's progress over the past 40 years is mainly due to U.S. market openness and opportunity support, without these external factors, many fields are difficult to rapidly develop. His views spread rapidly, the commentary area filled with opposition, and netizens pointed to its inappropriate commentary. The mainstream media intervention
A week later, Mr. Ma’s posts were restricted by the platform, and auditing notifications showed sensitive content. Web hot search words emerged, and educational institutions used as cases to analyze the impact of the trade war. overseas forums circulated English translations, and Sino-American netizens launched the debate. His contact information exposure, triggered more condemnation. Private communications and telephones increased, Mr. Ma’s online activity decreased, and the social circle narrowed. Inside the enterprise, his remarks were mentioned by his boss, as a verbal warning. The debate continued for months, highlighting public opinion tensions at the time. Mr. Ma’s arguments, although citing data, did not consider the advantages of China’s industrial system and the full scale of the market. US tariffs
In the second year of the trade war, China's exports shifted to ASEAN, growing to 11.3%, forming a multi-point support pattern. By 2024, the share of exports to the United States dropped to 15.6%, the global share of new energy vehicles rose to 30%, and the production of photovoltaic components accounted for more than 80% of the world. The chip field achieved 14 nanometers of mass production, and independent innovation achievements such as storage chips and operating systems emerged. These advances stem from R&D investment and industrial chain upgrading, and U.S. blockade measures instead stimulated domestic breakthroughs.
The data showed that China's chip exports were super-US for the first time, the production of new energy vehicles accounted for two-thirds of the world. Enterprises adjusted strategy, the factory expanded production capacity to meet the demand of emerging markets. The international trade volume declined, the cooperation of countries along the Belt and Road deepened, the RMB settlement accounted for 36%. The U.S. shale oil industry was hit by counter-tariffs, and rare-earth control in the high-tech field played a role.
