After the German Chancellor announced his visit to China and changed his attitude towards China, claiming that "no country wants to 'decouple' from China", the United States can no longer sit still. Recently, a US special envoy called on China, calling for joint cooperation, claiming that the United States needs China.
Recently, French media reported that on October 21 local time, German Chancellor Scholz announced after the end of the EU summit that he will lead a government delegation to visit China next month. This will be the first EU leader to visit China since November 2019. Scholz also said that relations with China are also an issue at the EU summit a few days ago, and no country wants to "decouple" from China. At the same time, the German Chancellor's Office also issued a warning that "decoupling" may have serious economic consequences for export-oriented Germany. After Scholz changed his attitude towards China, the United States also came to seek cooperation. According to the Global Times report, recently, the US President's special envoy for climate issues, urging China to restart climate change negotiations with the United States, saying that "China's cooperation is needed."
As we all know, in August this year, the United States ignored China's strong opposition and provoked China without any bottom line. In response, China had clearly announced the suspension of China-US cooperation on climate change. Since then, Kerry has repeatedly released his intention to restart negotiations with China internationally. Compared with the previous one, Kerry's tone has softened a lot this time. He affirmed China's achievements in carbon reduction and and energy transformation, and also revealed his desire to cooperate with China. It should be pointed out that China has always actively participated in global governance of climate change, including its cooperation with the United States, and it is the United States itself that has ruined the atmosphere of cooperation between the two countries. Even so, China is just "suspending" rather than "cancel", and the key to restart is in the hands of the Americans themselves. No cooperation between China and the United States can be separated from the general environment of China-US relations. The US should seriously reflect on and correct its own wrong behavior. This is the basic condition for restarting cooperation and the minimum respect for the laws of cause and effect.
You should know that the Biden administration is still further strengthening its crazy suppression of China's development in the chip field. For example, in early October this year, the United States introduced new regulations again, prohibiting the sale of advanced semiconductor and chip manufacturing equipment to China, and strictly prohibiting Americans from helping China develop chip technology, a move that has a serious impact on the $550 billion industry. In addition, in July this year, all U.S. chip production equipment manufacturers received letters from the U.S. Department of Commerce asking these companies not to export production equipment for chips of 14 nanometers and below to China unless they obtain permission from the department.
It is undeniable that on the one hand, the United States continues to introduce measures to suppress and contain China, harming and provoking China's interests, and on the other hand, it calls for cooperation in some specific areas. This seems selfish and hypocritical, and cannot arouse China's vigilance and suspicion about the true intention of the United States' "cooperation". Some outside analysts pointed out that the US is currently eager to restart Sino-US climate change negotiations in order to the upcoming midterm elections. But it should be emphasized that China has no obligation to cooperate with , Washington , and set up its domestic issues around it. If the US really hopes that China and the United States will resume cooperation in the field of gas change, then the first thing the US needs to do is to remove the roadblocks blocking China's gas change cooperation, such as stopping unreasonable suppression of China's chip field, and immediately stopping unreasonable interference in China's internal affairs, rather than "saying one thing and doing another" to meet its own interests and needs by trampling on the core interests of other countries.
