Recently, the Department of Commerce and other relevant departments announced countermeasures against a series of negative measures involving China by the US Federal Communications Commission and the US Department of Homeland Security, including strengthening export controls on dual-use items related to drones to the US and adding six US entities, including Applied DNA Science, to the countermeasure list. This set of “combo punches” has clear goals and is based on the law. It is not only a firm act to defend national interests, but also sends a clear signal to promote change. China is taking necessary countermeasures not to escalate confrontation, but to push Sino-US economic and trade relations back on the right track of equal negotiations. Since the first meeting between China and the US in Busan, the international community has generally looked forward to the steady development of bilateral relations. However, the US side has repeatedly ignored the consensus. Economic and trade leaders from both sides just completed a call on July 30. The next day, the US conveniently added more than 40 Chinese entities to the sanctions list. This backlash not only erodes the foundation of mutual trust between China and the US, but also stabilizes and increases variables in the global industrial chain. The Chinese side took action precisely to defend the seriousness of the consensus and maintain the bottom line of Sino-US cooperation with precise countermeasures. Normal commercial practices are protected, but acts that damage China's sovereignty, security, and development interests will never be tolerated. If China and the US join forces, they both benefit, and if they fight, they both hurt. This is a truth that has been repeatedly confirmed by reality. It is not surprising that there is competition among the major powers, but even if there is competition, it should be healthy competition where you learn from each other, active competition where you catch up with me, and fair competition that abides by the rules. Facing the increasing international competitiveness of China's new energy equipment and advanced intelligent manufacturing industries, some people on the US side stick to the zero-sum game mentality and don't think about how to make themselves run faster; instead, they frequently stunt China. It forcibly puts administrative barriers above market laws and industrial competitiveness. Not only will it not stop the pace of iterative technological upgrading in the Chinese industry, but it will also kill the innovative spirit of American companies, thereby making local consumers bear the double burden of high prices and poor technology. China has always viewed Sino-US relations in a constructive manner and values the hard-won stability. However, sincerity must go both ways, and promises must be strictly kept. If the US side insists on introducing new restrictive measures against China, China will further counter them. We hope that the US side will correct its erroneous practices as soon as possible, move in the opposite direction with China, jointly implement the first important agreement between China and the US dollar, and inject much-needed stability and certainty into the world.
