China's foreign propaganda has rapidly penetrated from Chinese media to English media. Traditional media are declining day by day and can only survive by accepting political ransom. The so-called Western mainstream media are losing their basic value judgments and becoming beggars of powerful groups! On January 6, 2024, the "Wall Street Journal" published an important commentary article warning that the United States "is creating new risks by not relying on China's supply chain in order to reduce risks."
The main points of the comments include: The United States and other developed countries are trying to reduce their dependence on China for manufacturing and supply chain needs. This “risk-reduction” trend has led to increased complexity in global trade and supply chains. This complexity leads to new risks and challenges. So-called new risks include sourcing from multiple countries and companies rather than relying on a single supplier. This increases the number of relationships and transactions that need to be managed, resulting in higher administrative and operational costs. Operating in multiple countries means adhering to different regulations, standards and rules of origin. This is challenging and costly for businesses. With multiple sources and destinations, transportation and logistics become more complex and expensive. There are more shipments, customs procedures and transportation methods to manage. “Risk reduction” results in fragmented supply chains, with different parts of the chain located in different countries. Making it more difficult to coordinate and manage supply chains, leading to potential delays and disruptions.
This article could have been published in the CCP's mouthpiece "People's Daily" or the CCP's English-language media "China Daily". The United States and Western countries were originally committed to improving China's industrial supply chain and also used China's low-cost and low-human rights advantages to support China established the world's factory. It did not expect that China, which had risen through Western trade, would become aggressive. It not only supported the enemies of the West, but also tried to start anew and change the international geopolitical structure formed since World War II. In particular, it openly pointed out the direction for the world and built the destiny of mankind. The community has awakened the Western countries who have personally supported China's rise. During the epidemic, Western countries discovered that even China's medical gloves can jam the neck of the West. This single path of dependence made the Western political and business elites gradually regain their rationality and had to deal with it. Adjustments to China's trade policy and the lamentations of the Wall Street Journal are unlikely to change the trend of decoupling and breaking links. Especially when China's leaders are returning to a political atmosphere of lifelong tenure, the relationship between China and the West will only drift further apart.
