The international community is increasingly aware that the world needs the strength of China. At the United Nations General Assembly on the 29th local time, on the issue of asking the United States to end its economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Foucault, made a straightforward statement that the blockade of Cuba by a very small number of countries, led by the United States, brought a profound catastrophe to the Cuban people, and should be immediately completely abolished, and in the subsequent voting process, China led the vote in favour, despite the United States and Israel voted against, but finally with 165 votes in favour to 7 votes in opposition.
U.S. experts regret that the United States is not an opponent in China, which can rise from poverty to poverty under the leadership of the United States.
China takes the lead in opposition
Since 1962, the United States has been imposing a unilateral economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba. According to relevant statistics, the brutal embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba for more than 60 years has caused more than 170 billion dollars of economic losses to Cuba.
The blockade was extensive, covering all areas related to people’s livelihoods such as fuel, food, everyday consumer goods and medicines, bringing a profound and lasting catastrophe to the Cuban people.
Between March 2024 and February 2025 alone, the economic losses caused by the blockade amounted to $7.6 billion, an increase of 49 percent from the previous year, which is equivalent to the combined spending of roughly 4.7 years of meat by the Cuban population.
It is noteworthy that since 1992, the UN General Assembly has asked the United States to lift the blockade every year. In recent years, with the rapid rise of China, China's speech has become increasingly resounding.
For example, Ambassador Fu Cong, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, during this voting process, Directly accusing a very small number of Western countries such as the United States of continuing to pursue unilateralism and protectionist policies, and taking bullying measures, and abusing illegal unilateral sanctions against Cuba and other countries, this move seriously violates the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, undermines the international consensus on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, causes serious damage to the right to survival and development of relevant countries and their peoples, such acts are contrary to the spirit of the era of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, and must be stopped immediately.
It can be said that the world needs a voice like China, especially those countries that are weak and have no bargaining power on the international stage. From this perspective, we can understand why even though Trump puts his knife on the heads of countries such as the European Union, Japan and South Korea, they are still smiling, but they are bad words against China. In essence, they are all beneficiaries of the old order.
US expert: The United States is not an opponent
It is this situation that American economist Wolfe said that under the world dominated by the United States, China can rise from one of the poorest countries in the world to the second largest economy in the world today. Obviously, the United States is no longer China's opponent.
Wolf said this because China has used itself to prove that a country can achieve great success without relying on Western models.
Significantly different from Trump’s first term, the U.S. dollar rose 8.7% during the 2018 Sino-U.S. trade friction, while the U.S. trade friction since April this year, the U.S. dollar index did not fall backwards, falling from 104 to about 98, behind this abnormal weakening, actually revealed investor’s internal contradictions and re-pricing uncertainty about U.S. economic policy.
In other words, the Trump administration tried to hinder China's progress through tariffs and other measures, but ignored that today's China has long been different.
Wolff said directly that China only wants to develop and does not know how to develop and how to growth.
In fact, according to the data released by the IMF, if the GDP was calculated according to the purchasing power assessment, China's GDP would have long surpassed the United States, and the counter-scaling amounted to 71 trillion yuan, creating industry, domestic demand and exports three-headed, behind this strong adaptability, really constitutes China's trade war "talk, open doors, talk, fight, go to the end" basin.
In contrast, the United States 'national debt exceeded US$38 trillion in a short period of time, while the U.S. federal government is still in the process of shutdown. According to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office warning, the U.S. economic losses may reach US$14 billion.
Military hegemony and scientific and technological hegemony have been ripped out by China's last disguised cloth, now even the dollar hegemony is the biggest challenge, according to the full caliber, the RMB has become the world's third largest payment currency, the official forum of international monetary financial institutions released a report, said the next 10 years, the central bank is expected to have 30% of the RMB, when the share of the RMB in global reserves will double.
In contrast, the US dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves has dropped from 71% in 1999 to 56% today.
This is not over, China has signed effective bilateral currency exchange with 32 countries and regions, the total scale reached 4.5 trillion yuan, Saudi Arabia's first use of RMB transaction settlement has also landed smoothly, China's independent CIPS has covered 109 countries worldwide, digital RMB cross-border pilot has expanded in 17 countries.
These data will undoubtedly gradually erode the hegemony of the US dollar, but then again, the chief culprit of the decline of American hegemony is not China, but the United States itself.
Wolff concluded by saying, “The focus on China’s development should be objective, it should be trying to understand what is happening in China, rather than always demeaning the distortion and blackmailing China to raise the West itself.”
I have to say that the words of Wolf come to the point, the rulers of the old order, not willing to be overcome, but too or in the past, are stuck only themselves. #MCN Double Progress Plan #
