A few days ago, the US Department of Homeland Security announced the addition of 43 Chinese companies to the list of entities under the so-called Border-related Act. There are not only food companies that produce melon seeds and dumplings, but also clothing companies. This is also the largest number of expansions in a single instance since the list was established. This wave of US operations made many netizens laugh, “Is America afraid that eating melon seeds will damage its teeth?” What's even more ridiculous is that the reason given by the US is that these companies buy melon seeds from Xinjiang and use long-staple cotton from Xinjiang, and with these, the US simply, crudely and unfounded fabricates a so-called “forced labor” hat, with the intention of imposing unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies. From chips and lithography machines to melon seeds and dumplings, the target of sanctions chosen by the US side is becoming increasingly detailed and outrageous; in the end, I'm afraid they will take a stone and hit themselves in the foot again. The increasing technological blockade has instead enabled Chinese science and technology to speed up self-reliance and self-improvement. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, in the first half of 2026, China's imports and exports of goods trade amounted to 25.47 trillion yuan, surpassing 25 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 16.9% over the previous year, making it the largest country in global goods trade. Since this year, artificial intelligence, robotics, and innovative drugs known as the “three new and new” have developed rapidly, and are expected to form a new pillar industry.
