Fortunately, China did not help Russia, because the United States has long put three traps, one more than one fatal, what is the American trap, and how do we break up?
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the U.S. and Western countries have repeatedly hyped “China will help Russia” in an attempt to hold the “helper” hat on China.
The EU has also followed up and even imposed sanctions on several Chinese enterprises.But looking at the chess behind this public opinion war, it will find that Washington's well-woven roulette network is far more complex than it looks.
The first trap is hidden in the financial noose. The U.S. Treasury Department launched a "task force" as early as March 2022 to monitor the flow of Sino-Russian trade funds. They announced that as long as Bank of China provided US dollar settlement services to Russian companies, it would immediately kick out of the SWIFT system.
This move seems to be aimed at Russia, but it is actually murderous-at that time, China held US $860 billion in US debt. If the financial war escalates, Wall Street can take the opportunity to freeze Chinese assets.
However, Beijing has long been prepared. In 2021, the RMB Cross-Border Payment System (CIPS) will cover 109 countries, and the proportion of China-Russia trade settled in local currencies has soared from 17% before the conflict to 65%.
When the U.S. swallowed the financial bullshit, it was discovered that Chinese-Russian transactions were quietly bypassing offshore centers such as Dubai, Hong Kong, and the chain of dollar hegemony was quietly pushed off by the RMB.
The second trap is buried in the technical blockade of the mine area. The U.S. Department of Commerce secretly revised the Export Management Regulations last year, including 14 categories of Russian urgently needed chips and optical engraving equipment in the embargo list.
But Washington missed the key variable: China's semiconductor nationalization process has broken the critical point.China is developing the next generation of light engraving technology, even ASML recognizes that China is developing the next generation of light engraving technology.
Even better, China took the opportunity to accelerate "de-beautification"-the market share of domestic EDA tools jumped from 3% to 18%, and the performance of Huawei Shengteng 910B chips is close to that of the Nvidia A100. The United States wanted to trap China and Russia with technological chains, but it unexpectedly accelerated the speed of China's scientific and technological self-reliance.
The third most deadly trap is the geopolitical sequence, with the United States throwing out the narrative of “Russia supports aggression” at the 2023 NATO summit in an attempt to drag China into the “New Cold War” confrontation camp.
They encouraged Japan and the Philippines to create friction in the East China Sea and the South China Sea in an attempt to distract China's energy. However, Beijing uses Tai Chi to resolve it: while promoting reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, it breaks the layout of the United States in the Middle East; On the one hand, the six countries will be expanded at the BRICS summit, and countries in the global south will form an anti-sanctions alliance.
While the United States is still speculating on "Chinese military aid", China has settled bulk trade with Brazil in its local currency, signed a high-speed rail technology transfer agreement with Indonesia, and even let France's Total buy Chinese liquefied natural gas in RMB. These seemingly unrelated actions actually tore countless cracks in the encirclement woven by the United States.
The most exciting breakthrough in this game lies in China's "inaction". When Western media frantically hyped "China's military aid to Russia", Chinese customs data showed that civilian drones accounted for less than 0.3% of exports to Russia in 2023, while people's livelihood products such as automobiles and construction machinery surged. This kind of "demilitarized aid" not only maintains the strategic balance, but also makes the US sanctions hit the cotton.
What's more, China took the opportunity to expand its market share in Russia-the market share of Chinese brand cars in Russia soared from 11% to 49%, and home appliances replaced European brands to occupy 70% of the shelves. The United States wanted to consume China with the Ukrainian issue, but unexpectedly helped China open the door to the Eurasian Economic Union.
Looking back at this covert war now, the three traps of the United States are like carefully designed dominoes: financial sanctions trigger a technological blockade, which intensifies geopolitical confrontation, and ultimately drag China into the quagmire of the Cold War. However, China uses "dismantling the situation" to resolve it one by one-using financial innovation to bypass the hegemony of the dollar, using technological breakthroughs to break the shackles of technology, and using diplomatic wisdom to disintegrate geographical containment.
While the United States was still discussing whether China would help Russia, China had quietly rewritten the rules of the game: not playing according to the opponent’s scenario, but turning the battlefield to its own fields.
