In the Arab TV’s “Conflict of Opinions” column, Chinese scholar Gao Qing and former U.S. White House diplomat Abrams are on the lookout.
The two sides are struggling to focus on one thing: the tariff war launched by the United States against China, who is actually playing?
"Normal business exchanges are welcome, but with guns aggressive to do business, this hegemonic behavior to put anywhere can not be said!"
The smell of fire in the television debate, behind the hard clash between the two great countries
Since the beginning of this year, the United States has swallowed "tariff bars" on 190 countries around the world, and it is even harsher to China to increase tariffs to more than 100%, making it clear that we must shake our China's neck.
But what about China? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said directly: "I don't want to fight, but I'm not afraid to fight. I have to fight when necessary!" This hard response this year made the western media dumbfounded: they thought China would be soft, but they didn't expect to encounter a hard bone.
What's more interesting is that the United States itself was in chaos first. The streets of Washington and new york were crowded with protesters, and ordinary people held signs to scold the government: "Increasing tariffs is putting pressure on our lives!"
At the beginning of the founding of New China, President Mao pointed out that "American imperialism is a paper tiger", strategically to disregard it, tactically to value it.
At that time, we used the "steel less air more" hard US military aircraft cannon; now seven decades have passed, China has long been not Wu Sub Amun.
The West always loves to put the book of merits of the Second World War on its face, but forgets that the Chinese battlefield has confined more than 60 percent of the Japanese military force, and the number of casualties is greater than the USSR combined.
Some Westerners always like to look at people with an old eye, thinking that China was still the country that "backward to be hit" decades ago. but they forgot that today's China has long been "steel more than enough"!
We dare to struggle hard with the United States, relying on the real base of the home, not quickly.China is now the world's only "all-powerful player".
In 2024 alone, our GDP has risen to $18.94 trillion, which is 126-fold more than in the early years of reform and opening up, not to mention the supermarket of 1.4 billion people in the home, the middle-income group alone is more than 400 million people, more than the entire population of the United States.
The US wants to use the tariff card to cut our neck? as a result, the supermarket itself raised the price first, and the people shouted.
Moreover, we have long since avoided this.Eight years ago, when Trump engaged in a trade war, we cleared our way to the United States.Now our share of exports to the United States has fallen from 19.2% to 14.7%, ASEAN, Africa and the “Belt and Road” countries have become new friends.
When the U.S. tariff stick swings down, we turn around and shake hands with others to do business: this is called "the east does not shine when the west shines"! Behind it is the domestic and international dual circulation pattern built by China, firmly holding the initiative of development in its own hands.
China’s air is not blowing out!
Westerners have always thought that Chinese technology is a "simulation show", but reality comes too fast.The Australian think tank itself admitted that of the world's 44 key technologies, China ranks in 37 areas, and 10 are directly "monopolies".
The most frustrating thing is that more than 90% of the 35 "stuck neck" technologies listed by the West in 2018 have now been conquered by us. It feels like Xueba shouting "Don't copy my answer" during the exam. As a result, as soon as the results come out, we overtake!
Gao Zhi Kay said strongly in the program: "The number of Chinese patents has long surpassed the United States, don't use old labels for us!" this year's words are behind a real counterattack.
The more the U.S. blocks, the more we argue: quantum computing, artificial intelligence and these new racing paths, we run directly with the West, sometimes even over a car!
Chang 'e-6 returned from digging on the far side of the moon, and the C919 large aircraft robbed Boeing Airbus orders. These achievements were all achieved through independent innovation.
The surface of the trade war is the tariffs, the heart is the heart.The United States is engaged in the tariff war, and the domestic quarrels become a pot: capitalists hate to profit, workers fear unemployment, and farmers can't sell grain.
But what about us China? on social media screens are "resolutely reject, praise for the motherland". this kind of people's intention to become a city, reminds people of the legend of anti-American aid in the time of "more steel and less air".
More importantly, our leadership minds are awake.The United States today adds tariffs, tomorrow engages in sanctions, all seven wounds.What about us?Using the "One Belt, One Road" to make friends, while practicing domestic work: engage in chips, promote consumption upgrading, and build large domestic aircraft.
This is called "You hit you, I hit me", the pace is very steady! today we play this trick more smoothly: the EU ASEAN is fighting with us to sign a free trade agreement, the United States in turn has become a lonely widow.
Times have changed, and the old script should be changed!
Reverse China's modern history, which retreat has resulted in good results? at the Paris Council, we as the victorious country, but were forced to hand Shandong to Japan; the three hundred thousand wicked souls in the city of Nanjing, are all the lessons of blood tears of compromise.
Now some publicly shout “concessions for development”, see Russia believes in the end of the Western promise: NATO’s expansion to the east is under the eye, and the sanctions hit the economy by 30 percent.
What China has suffered has long become today's wisdom. In the South China Sea arbitration case in 2016, the U.S. aircraft carrier group was aggressive. We did not say a word and put on an actual combat drill to force the other party back.
These things let the people understand: dignity is hit out, not sought out!Now our military ships are made like dumplings, the 055-drive patrol the Pacific, the East Wind missiles point to where they hit, such a basement has been worked out for generations.
The United States always laid the "teacher" shelf, but under its ass is less clean. resistance murdered millions, Congress mountains occupied by the mob, racial conflict burned across the United States: what is this country qualified to teach others to do things?
Ironically, the more the U.S. pressures China, the faster we develop.When the trade war began in 2018, the West predicted that China’s economic growth would drop by 5%, resulting in 5.8% last year.
Contrary to the United States, inflation is high, the national debt has broken 35 trillion.This is called moving stones to knock their feet, not to say that the stone is China's world today, not a card office.
China dares to struggle hard, not because of good warfare, but because we have capital that does not want to fight and can also fight: like a house full of farmhouses, the walls are high, naturally not afraid of the rogue to knock on the door.
In the past ten years, the life of Chinese people has not been disrupted by the trade war: online shopping, online shopping, travel, Chang'e still flies to the moon, and C919 still goes to heaven. This is confidence!
