At present, the dispute between China and the United States has entered the mutual phase. Both sides have played several rounds in economic, trade, science and technology, geopolitics and other fields. You come to me and move frequently. But in general, the United States is still more proactive, and China is more in the first time to take measures.

But China's response has a clear feature, which is "stable and hard". China is not driven by the pace of the United States, nor is it carried away by emotions.Technologically, we are promoting domestic replacement, bite the teeth to fill the shortboard; in diplomacy, China is accelerating the layout of the Middle East, Africa, South America these emerging markets; in military, Taiwan Sea cruise, South China Sea exercises, have normalized.These signals are clear: China has not retreated.

However, if you look carefully, you will find that most of China's reactions are "taking moves", but instead of being passively beaten, it is observing the next move of the United States while stabilizing the situation. In other words, China is not in a hurry or in chaos.

On the contrary, the United States seems to take the initiative, but it is actually more anxious. Trump often says in public speeches that "the United States continues to attack, and China will soon give in". This sounds imposing, but the truth is just the opposite. China has not been forced back, but has become more and more calm.

After all, the US strategy we have seen through. Its route is to threaten "I'm going to cut you a knife", but in fact is to force yourself to "cut a knife" to compromise, concessions, a little dried up.

What China is doing seems to be just "seeing tricks and dismantling tricks", but in fact the logic is completely different. The United States wants to "win", while China's goal is to "not let the United States win". The difference between these two ideas is very critical.

What is called ¡°win¡±? that means that you must separate the victory burden, overcome each other, and win the game completely. such as the US-Soviet domination of the Cold War, this is the idea. The two countries fight arms, technology, space race, and eventually collapse.

But the way China is now going is completely different.We do not intend to engage in a comprehensive competition with the United States.China does not go with you to burn money, nor to pursue formal "win".We do, through the control of the key nodes, you "can not win."

One of the most typical examples is rare earth.The U.S. wants to take the lead in high-tech and arms, but China holds the initiative to supply rare earth.As long as China controls exports, the U.S. chip, missile, and aircraft production line will be limited.If you want to ¡°win¡±, I just ¡°card¡± you a little, you can¡¯t win.

Therefore, China's logic is not facing resistance, but "disrupting your rhythm".The United States likes to formulate plans, draw strategic lines, and China's strategy is to disrupt its rhythm and let it go smoothly.

If you want to "win", it means investing all resources, having clear goals, and competing with each other to the end. As a result, both sides are often lost. And "don't let you win", as long as the other party is constantly consuming, anxious, and trial and error. You don't need to have the upper hand every time, but you can make the other person never be proud of.

It's like a protracted war. The United States wants to suppress China through sanctions, suppression, and technical blockade. But whenever it comes up with new moves, China takes countermeasures. It blocks chips, and we push domestic replacements; it attracts allies, and we expand new markets; it plays the Taiwan card, and we express our stance in military exercises. Every time the United States thinks it has the initiative, but every time the results fail to meet expectations.

More importantly, China is trading time for space. The United States wants to press China at a fast pace, but China chooses to drag it into the water and let it consume itself in the long-term game. The longer it goes by, the more obvious the internal problems of the United States become: fiscal deficit, debt crisis, industrial outflow, and ally centrifugation. In the end, it was tired itself.

Therefore, the real genius of China is not in ¡°winning¡±, but in ¡°not losing¡±. without losing, it is already winning. as long as the United States cannot get the results it wants, it will fall into passivity.
