In the early morning of May 6, Beijing time, the US authorities ignored China's efforts to promote economic and trade consultations with the greatest sincerity, waved the stick of tariff imposition, and announced that on May 10, the tariff imposed on US$200 billion of Chinese products imported to the United States increased from 10% to 25%.
While the US is arrogant and unreasonable and asking for prices, it has constantly thrown out many fallacies such as "China breaks its promise", "China goes back on its word", "raising taxes is beneficial to the United States", "China steals intellectual property rights", "forced technology transfer", and "The United States rebuilds China", turning black and white, putting the cart before the horse, and attempting to deceive the world.
In response to the naked bullying behavior of the United States, Xinhua News Agency used the facts as the basis and used ten "very bad" manifestos to expose the arrogant and paranoid US pressure, criticized the despicable behavior of the United States in trying to reverse globalization, and expose the ugly face of the United States' trampling on the rules of the international trade game.
This time, the US side is really uncivilized, disgraceful, unrealistic, unconscious, undecent, unethical, unethical, unreliable, unwise!
uses "civilization" to embellish hegemony, which is very uncivilized!
Recently, Kiren Skinner, director of policy planning at the US Department of State, put forward the so-called " civilization conflict ", "civilization competition" and "civilization confrontation" arguments, causing new troubles to Sino-US relations. The fake name of "civilization" has painted hegemony and power politics, which once again exposed the arrogance and paranoidness of the US hegemony thinking, which is very uncivilized!
There is no distinction between high and low civilization, it should coexist equally. This is a painful lesson learned by mankind at a huge price. Today in the 21st century, the openly speaking of "civilized confrontation" reflects the extremely out of date Cold War thinking and exudes a musty smell of history.
From what "Chinese people have lived a good life for too long" to the so-called "The United States rebuilt China", and the arrogant "exit China from the WTO", the essence is in line with the United States' bullying mentality of being the only one and condescending.
Skinner's so-called "confrontation of civilizations" undoubtedly exposed the ignorance of some people in the United States about their own history to the world. In the eyes of many people, the cherishing and pursuit of diverse civilizations is an important symbol of the United States. However, those who are familiar with history know that the coexistence of diverse civilizations in American society did not fall from the sky, but achieved at a great price, and are still fragile and sensitive to this day. The United States is more clear to anyone about the serious consequences of the exclusion and hostility of other civilizations in American domestic and foreign history.
Chinese civilization has lasted for five thousand years and has always been enriched and developed through integration and mutual learning and inclusiveness. When dealing with other civilizations, the Chinese have always advocated equality rather than arrogance, respect rather than prejudice, communication rather than confrontation, tolerance rather than exclusion, and peace rather than confrontation. Chinese people have always loved peace. In the past, Chinese civilization did not have a "civilization conflict" with any civilization, and there will be no "civilization conflict" with other civilizations in the present and in the future. Some people in the United States promote the so-called "China threat theory" and "US-China civilization competition theory", which are typical judges of gentlemen by the heart of villains, which just shows that they lack understanding of Chinese civilization and further proves the necessity of civilized dialogue rather than conflict and confrontation.
As a responsible major country, we should seek common ground while reserving differences, strengthen dialogue with an open mind, and make explorations and contributions to cracking the myth of "clash of civilizations". "All civilizations have no conflicts, they just need to have eyes to appreciate the beauty of all civilizations." Once you are blinded by zero-sum thinking such as "conflict", "confrontation", etc., the ending is nothing more than a Chinese idiom: blind people and horses are at the pond in the middle of the night.

suppresses Chinese companies in this way, which is very disgraceful!
Recently, US President Trump signed an executive order named "Ensure the security of information and communication technology and service supply chains." The Industry and Security Bureau under the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a statement on the same day that it will include Huawei and its subsidiaries on the "Entity List". Companies or individuals on the list need to obtain relevant licenses for purchasing or transferring US technology. But if the United States believes that the sale or transfer of technology endangers U.S. national security or foreign policy interests, it will refuse to issue a license.
bragging and lying are the same family.
This is an American proverb. Another false behavior of the United States is the best example:
The US authorities have always claimed to be a "model" of "free trade" and "fair trade", but they have blatantly set up trade barriers under the guise of "security".
The US authorities have always emphasized that they are the defenders of intellectual property protection and attach importance to "patents", but turned aside the groundless accusation of China of "theft of intellectual property" and turned a blind eye to China's efforts to innovate in science and technology and protect intellectual property;
...
...
The US authorities' self-contradictory, capricious, and backfire, are ultimately due to the concept of choice and the policies they have implemented, against the world trend, historical trend, and the trend of the times. They have long been outdated and moldy old goods, and are naturally full of loopholes.
Economic globalization has developed to this day, and countries around the world are on the same boat. You have me and I have you. Enterprises from various countries have long been a "competitive and cooperative relationship" that combines competition and cooperation. There is no real winner in the trade war. Take the US's list of Chinese companies Huawei and its subsidiaries on the restricted list for example. The biggest loss or the first to suffer losses may be US companies. As Huawei said in the statement, "If the United States restricts Huawei, it will not make the United States safer, nor will it make the United States stronger. It will only force the United States to use inferior and expensive alternative equipment, lag behind other countries in the construction of 5G networks, and ultimately harm the interests of American companies and consumers."
The gentleman is open-minded, while the villain is always worried. Behind the United States' blockade of Chinese products and enterprises is its increasing vigilance against China's innovation strength. It is used to being the only one in its own family, unable to accept it, and unwilling to see others become stronger. However, the United States, which has frequently encountered problems in its own network security, has experienced incidents such as "monitoring gates" and "eavesdropping gates", has raised the banner of so-called "security". Because it is "unsafe", it suspects that others are "unsafe", but in fact, it is to judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Restrictions", "blocking" and "exclusion" have never been interrupted in the development of New China, but they are all small "interludes" that have never stopped China's progress. Every "restriction", "blocking" and "exclusion" are just a whetstone for China's enhanced strength.
The United States’ abacus this time may have been wrong again! It's really disgraceful to do this! (Reporter He Yuxin)
The beauty is trying to reverse globalization, which is unrealistic!
Take history as a mirror to know the success or replacement.
Contemporary free trade system is one of the important achievements of World War II, and its basic principles are found in the " Atlantic Charter " and " United Nations Charter ". Looking back at the history of the 20th century, free trade provided the development momentum for the economies of various countries, while the United States was the biggest beneficiary of the process of globalization and the contemporary free trade system.
China's choice to open up to the outside world and actively participate in the process of economic globalization is a major event in the history of world free trade. Especially since joining the WTO, China has strictly followed world trade rules, actively participated in global division of labor, worked hard to improve resource allocation efficiency and international competitiveness, and made great contributions to the growth of the global economy of . China has developed in a coordinated manner with a large number of countries in the global industrial chain, greatly expanding the depth and breadth of international division of labor. In particular, we have joined hands with developing countries to share their development and have effectively promoted the global anti-poverty cause.
Due to the joint efforts of China and all parties, global economic growth is more inclusive and global economic and trade is generally more balanced. Facts have proved that local temporary imbalance is itself a process and product of the international division of labor of the market economy of , and it can be completely rebalancing through mutual benefit and win-win under the World Trade Rules. The unilateralism that is self-respecting affects the international trade order and the process of globalization, harms others and is not good for oneself, and is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst for its own long-term development.
"Trust is the treasure of the country and the people are the ones that protect the people." Credit is the cornerstone of the market economy. If you talk about credit, you cannot say one thing or do another. The United States has gained huge benefits from countries around the world by relying on its long-term economic and financial rules.Even so, under the banner of "America First", we still promote extreme pragmatism and engage in anti-globalization, and frequently change our faces and "withdrawals" in international organizations, becoming the biggest "unruly" in the international community. How can such arbitrary act and bullying be accepted and convinced by the world?
The world is in a great way, and those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. History has no reverse. It is neither wise nor realistic to try to reverse globalization. (Reporter Wang Libin)
The United States ignores the general trend of development and is very unconscious!
The United States unilaterally provoked a trade dispute with China, trying to force China to enter into a battleground alliance with rough pressure. This obviously treats oneself as the world's "hegemony" and ignores the vast global development trend, reflecting the major strategic misjudgment of the US policy toward China, and is very unconscious!
The US authorities' "America First" goal and its implementation path are completely different from the general trend of globalization. Some American politicians have serious misjudgment on the situation in China and the United States. They believe that there is no path to innovation and sustainable development beyond American values, politics and economic systems. They selectively listen to those pleasant views, exaggerated the role of the US foreign economic relations, trade and investment in China's development after 1978, ignored the hard work of all Chinese people along the correct path of independent choice, which is the fundamental reason for China's leapfrog development, underestimated the huge resilience, potential and stress resistance of China's economy, and believed that China cannot survive without the United States.
In fact, compared with China, the United States relies more on external markets and international economic relations and is more susceptible to global economic shocks. In addition to commodity trade, considering the huge revenue of service trade and US companies in China, the United States' dependence on Sino-US economic and trade relations is no less than or even higher than China's dependence on this. If the United States blindly manipulates the escalation of trade disputes, it will inevitably affect the global market, and the consequence will inevitably be that it will suffer greater losses.
The world is in a mighty and powerful situation. The US's anti-globalization trend escalates trade disputes with China and repeatedly manipulates extreme pressure, which is tantamount to shooting itself in the foot. Many American states, especially some agricultural states, have been seriously injured in the Sino-US trade war, and American farmers have been constantly complaining about the government's irrationality; the tariffs imposed on Chinese exported goods have led to rapid rise in consumer goods prices, increasing domestic inflation pressure, and the cost of imposing tariffs is ultimately borne by American consumers - sacrificing the interests of the American people to pursue the so-called "America First", which is very unconscious and ridiculous! (Reporters Sun Wen and Zheng Liang)
's approach to trampling on the rules of the game is very disgraceful!
Countries that claim to be "the most rules" and "complete market economy" have been openly issued transaction restrictions against companies such as China Huawei, which was in an uproar in international public opinion. This kind of bullying behavior of abandoning the minimum business principle and directly using state machines to suppress other countries' enterprises is unprecedented.
The United States’ approach is to bring the development of Huawei and even China’s high-tech enterprises into the "darkest days". However, such days are also a time for every Chinese who strives for self-improvement and cares about the country's destiny to unite and strive. Consumers who support technological progress and innovative spirit are fighting with Huawei people.
This is a battle without seeing the flames, fighting for the commanding heights of technological innovation. Whether the technical battle can be won determines Huawei's life and death. Development is the hard truth, and independent innovation is the jack. To truly reverse the passiveness and get rid of difficulties, we must ultimately rely on technical advantages. American politicians are trying to control the hegemony of the 5G era. This requires us to consolidate and expand our technological advantages. With strategic advantages, tactical "spare tires", and combat trump card, you can strive for space for survival and development and make great contributions to the progress of human society and the global information sharing civilization.
This is a battle related to the order of commercial civilization, and it is fighting for the commanding heights of the law. American politicians play WTO rules in their hands. When power is in control, they use so-called legal sticks such as long-arm jurisdiction to attack opponents and expand their own interests; once the advantage is gone, they tear off the fig leaf and roughly disrupt market order.In contrast, Huawei adheres to business ethics, abides by international conventions and relevant laws and regulations of various countries, and has been recognized by many countries, providing safe and efficient technical services to people around the world. World history has proved that adhering to the rules of modern business civilization is a blessing for all mankind. Coming for trade protectionism and trampling on the market's rule of law credit in the name of national security is a disaster for the civilized world.
This is a battle that is exceeding the economic and technical level, testing our will to fight. The US government, which did not keep relevant promises and refused to recognize China's market economy status, used national power to kill Huawei and then quickly. Faced with the global industry and consumers suffering from the disaster, the US has repeatedly released the information that "If you don't lie to you, the negotiations are still in progress" and "the delegation will go to China", constantly refreshing people's understanding of "not declaring war". The Chinese have a clear understanding of this trick of stealing the bell from the international level and making sure to win.
"Today, this darkest day is the day when every ordinary child of HiSi becomes the hero of the times!" He Tingbo 's letter to Huawei HiSi employees has been collected. When people in the future look back at this era of global entrepreneurship in China, they will find that the heroes and children who are unyielding external pressure have passed by our land without any obstacles.

The American face is flipped, it’s very indecent!
If there is a person on the other side, who is smiling the first second, but is hysterical and furious for no reason in the next second, how would you feel?
During the Sino-US economic and trade negotiations, China is facing such an opponent who is faster than turning aside.
People clearly remember that just recently, the United States frequently released signals that the two sides were about to reach a final agreement. On April 29, it was still saying that "the terms of the agreement only need to be fine-tuned, and negotiations may be ended next weekend." Just one week later, it was unstoppable that it would raise tariffs on US$200 billion worth of Chinese goods imported to the United States to 25%. The US authorities' domineering style has attracted criticism from all parties at home, and has also surprised the international community.
A full year of negotiations and consultations, China has always responded to the US concerns with the utmost sincerity and goodwill and made every effort to promote the negotiation process. In Chinese dialect, you have faith and do what you say. However, what kind of feedback did the US side give back? Not only did the US not reciprocate, but instead turned its back on its face. Their various words and deeds made the world wonder, is this the "civilized" country that regards "its morality and its self-esteem" as the cornerstone of "glory and dreams"? "Anyway, there is something going on the decline, that's undoubtedly!"
Over the past year, people have clearly seen that during the negotiations, the US side released a large amount of inconsistent and "slap in the face" through unconventional methods such as social media. Various remarks point to the violent changes, making people call it "changing emotions" and "elusive". Not only is it inconsistent with its status as a superpower, but it also makes the global market that prefers predictability deeply confused and helpless, and has regarded it as "the biggest instability factor in the world."
People cannot stand without trust, and a country will decline without trust. Since the founding of this U.S. government, its behavior of turning against each other, withdrawing from groups and breaking contracts in international affairs has been rapidly overdrawing its national credibility. Even if you make a profit by "blacklist" in the short term, you will have to pay for it in another way one day.
"Washington Post" columnist Robinson pointed out the essence of the US's frequent table lifts: this is the "standard practice" of some people's negotiations - at the last moment when the other party believes that the matter has been negotiated, he suddenly issued a provocation, trying to force a more favorable deal to him.
, a trick that is not up to date may be the "success password" that some people are proud of, but it is obviously not applicable to international relations in the 21st century.It is no different to dream of oppressing China to compromise and concessions on issues involving the core interests of the country! (Reporters Zhu Chao , Yang Yijun)
"America first" others are taking the lead, which is very immoral!
If you make money in business, I will sanction you with the stick of imposing tariffs; if your technology wants to surpass me, I will sign a ban on banning you on the grounds of "threatening national security"; if you go to the WTO to sue me, I will let the WTO stop...
In order to pursue "America first", let others take the lead, and do not hesitate to disrupt market rules and undermine fairness and justice. How selfish and immoral!
Some American politicians don’t like China’s economy moving from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development, racking their brains and trying every means to smear China. Sometimes he accused of "theft of intellectual property rights", sometimes he scolded "blame of faith", and reached a point of almost madness.
It is not only China that has suffered? Just recently, a White House decision on automobile tariffs has made long-term American partners tremble and walk on thin ice.
For the sake of its own selfish interests, it is not the first time the United States has encountered. As early as the 1930s, in order to alleviate the deterioration of export trade, the United States introduced the Smut-Holly Tariff Act, known as the "the stupidest American bill in the 20th century", significantly increasing U.S. import tariffs. Even former US President Reagan called it "the most destructive trade law in history", exacerbating the Great Depression at that time.
In 2008, it was the United States again. An internal subprime mortgage crisis triggered the global financial crisis. More than ten years have passed, and the world economy has struggled to enter the recovery channel. At this moment, all parties, especially the United States, should cherish the hard-won recovery momentum and cultivate more sustainable and powerful recovery momentum. However, it is willing to risk the world's ruthlessness and interfere with the global economic recovery for its own private purposes.
As we all know, the rules of the global trade system themselves are designed by the United States. The trade surplus may be reflected in other countries, but the vast majority of the surplus of interests has always fallen in the United States. If the American Dream is winner-takes all, it may be a nightmare for peace and development in countries around the world. (Reporter Liu Hongxia)
beauty plays digital games to confuse right and wrong, which is very unauthentic!
While enjoying the benefits obtained from Sino-US trade, the US authorities also play digital games to confuse right and wrong. They hold the "tariff stick" and dance around with the escalating trade dispute between China and the United States, which is very unauthentic!
Many people who have been to the United States are impressed by the vast range of product shelves in the United States - products from all over the world gather together, at a low price. Behind this, the United States relies on the dominant position of the US dollar to start the printing press and charge "sin tax" from the world. This strengthens the United States' attractiveness in the global market, enhances the United States' purchasing power in international trade, and brings rich commodities and abundant investments to the United States.
Relying on the strong purchasing power of the US dollar in the international market, the United States imports a large number of goods from countries around the world, including China, and American consumers enjoy the benefits brought by economic globalization. The United States is a direct beneficiary of international economic and trade exchanges, which has also become an important factor in the long-term deficit of the United States' international trade.
Before the collapse of the "Bretton Woods System" in the 1970s, the U.S. trade deficit continued to widen. Entering the 21st century, the growth rate of the US trade deficit has accelerated significantly, and only in 2009 showed a significant decline - it was not an increase in US commodity exports, but was affected by the financial crisis, and the domestic consumption in the US dropped sharply, resulting in a significant reduction in US imports.
What's more, the United States has adopted a one-sided statistical method, ignoring the influence of factors such as the replacement of trade in services and cross-border investment on trade, and the implementation of restrictions on exports of high-tech products. Therefore, the United States is actually aware of the real reason for the "China-US trade imbalance". If all American-funded enterprises in China are taken into account, the United States has always enjoyed a "ownership-based trade surplus" with China from 2009 to 2017, and its scale has continued to expand, rising from US$14.5 billion to US$160.4 billion.
As the world's largest economy, the United States has profoundly influenced the world economy, but the US economy is also inseparable from the support of the global economy.In the past few years, the U.S. economy has shown a recovery trend. As a result, the US government resurfaced, raising the banner of "America First", promoting unilateralism and protectionism internationally, attacking from all sides, constantly threatening and intimidating international trading partners, including China, and attempting to harvest the economic achievements of other countries through extreme pressure.
htmlOn 16, affected by the United States' insistence on imposing tariffs on Chinese goods imported to the United States, the world's largest retailer, Walmart , warned that American consumers will be impacted by rising prices, and price increases in some goods are inevitable. Macy's Department Store in the United States also issued a similar warning on the 15th that tariffs on imported goods from the United States impact the furniture industry and will also affect the clothing and accessories industries. Domestic research institutions in the United States have also released a large number of research reports, warning of the serious consequences of imposing tariffs on Chinese imported goods on American consumers, and called on the US government to stop the trade dispute with China as soon as possible.However, in the face of domestic calls to oppose tariff barriers and trade protectionism in the United States, the US government selectively "deaf" - ignoring the interests of its own consumers, ignoring the interests of its own business community and farmers, stubbornly emphasizing the so-called "America first", and insisting on doing it alone will eventually hit a wall. (Reporter Liu Kaixiong)
The United States disrupts international trade, which is very unreliable!
For more than a year, the US authorities have frequently disrupted international trade, which is dazzling: provoking trade disputes with China for no reason; during the Sino-US economic and trade negotiations, they suddenly tore up the consensus reached, announced the imposition of tariffs, and put extreme pressure; under the guise of "national security", they suddenly issued a transaction restriction order against Chinese Huawei and other companies, and abused export control measures...
Anyone can see that the US side's seemingly unruly tricks actually have a clear direction: to achieve the so-called "US priority". To achieve this goal, they are willing to disrupt the international trade order, adding dangerous uncertainty to the recovery of the fragile global economy, and increasing game chips at the expense of other countries' development.
The US's approach to disrupting international trade is the naked logic of power: when to start "doing business" is up to me; the person who is in charge will always be me, and I can only win; if it doesn't suit me, the rules will be pushed back and started over. In short, what the US authorities want is "I have the final say in everything, and do everything according to what I say."
Today, when the trend of globalization is becoming more and more obvious, hegemony and power politics are unpopular, and trade protectionism has no future. Most countries in the world choose to follow the trend of globalization and are willing to uphold the concepts of diversity, inclusiveness, equality and mutual trust, actively participate in the construction of a more just and reasonable new international order and the improvement of the international trade system. This is the mainstream of the world today.
moves against the historical trend, wielding the "tariff stick", attacking from all sides, constantly disrupting international trade, thinking that it can win by surprise, but it will harm the world economy. This has cast a shadow on the world economy, and even the traditional American allies have expressed their concerns and dissatisfaction. This unreliable approach of the United States also hurts its own people: provoking a trade dispute with China, some American agricultural states can no longer afford to hurt; they wantonly escalate tariff wars and increase inflationary pressure in the United States; the trading restrictions on Huawei and other companies are the first to be damaged by American companies and consumers...
On the issue of Sino-US trade, China has always believed in its words and will do its best, and has made an effective and pragmatic self-defense counterattack against the US bullying behavior, and has a lot of reserves for policy tools.
When the uncertainty of the external environment increases, strengthening one's own determination and focusing on being yourself is the principle adhered to by China. Following one's own rules and adhering to one's own path is an important magic weapon for China to achieve a historic leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong. Developed from the strong winds and waves, backed by the masses, and never feared the "protracted war"... No difficulties and obstacles can stop the Chinese people from moving forward firmly, let alone some tricks that are clever.
The United States is very irresponsible and unreliable! You will definitely suffer the consequences! (Reporter He Yuxin)
The United States is unwise to "be the only one" in economic and trade negotiations!
Resolving Sino-US economic and trade frictions, the two sides need to have an equal and dignified cooperation agreement.Respecting each other's core interests and major concerns is the bottom line and red line for the smooth progress of consultations.
It is easy to discuss things and say things well. It is not only a way of interaction between people, but also a way of getting along between countries. If one party is "only my own" and thinks that his opinions are not negotiable, it is impossible to have equal conversations.
International trade is the product of the market economy and the inevitable result of the world market and globalization. Due to different resource endowments, development stages, comparative advantages, and social division of labor, there is an imbalance in international trade.
History has proved that the problem of trade imbalance is definitely not unsolvable, unless someone sells dog meat with the title of sheep, turning the mutually beneficial and win-win trade problem into a life-and-death zero-sum game. In particular, some American politicians are responsible for the Cold War mentality, using trade issues as excuses, intending to kidnap trade issues and achieve their goal of curbing China's peaceful development.
Chinese people talk about "talking about business" because business is negotiated. With complementary advantages and mutual communication, negotiation is the only way to resolve economic and trade frictions. If you package your hegemony demands based on trade demands, you will make the wrong plan.
Solving economic and trade frictions should be done in business; achieving trade rebalancing requires careful negotiation and cannot be “only priced”. It is unwise to think that it is "only my own" attitude and force China to accept the alliance under the city. It is destined to shoot itself in the foot. (Reporter Wang Libin)
