Who’s afraid of China? India says it has nothing to fear. Germany, with its economy in recession and negative growth, has begun to fear China, and the United States is also showing signs that it needs to win over China for active cooperation in some areas.

India’s Foreign Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, said that India has the ability and confidence to compete with China and that “India is very well positioned in the neighboring areas in terms of connectivity projects, mobility of people, social and intellectual fields, trade and r all other measures.” Jaishankar emphasized earlier while communicating with students at the Indian Institute of Management: “We should not be afraid of Beijing. We must welcome competition and strive to do better than them.” He added that future competition depends on the high-tech industry, and India will actively invest in the development of the semiconductor industry and attract the largest number of companies and talents in the world to invest in India.
India shows the energy of a great country in the East, while the old powers in the West seem a little inferior. Mainland media cited an article in Germany’s Berliner Zeitung on January 28, with the original title “Who’s afraid of China?” Looking sideways at opponents rather than bringing forward the spirit of competition > article, the focus is that China and Germany pale in comparison, China’s economic growth rate in 2023 is 5.2%, and Germany is still in a state of decline of minus 0.3%. Basically, Germany has gone into economic recession, but the German mainstream media and politicians, business people criticize China’s lack of human rights, democracy and freedom every day, and they also consider China as a “system competitor. If they don’t “squint” in China and lose focus, can it be said that Western thinking has gone backwards? Although Germany feels good about itself, time is slipping away day by day . On the other hand, China has developed a superior system that is in line with its national conditions and can stand out internationally. In this case, “Chinese companies have shown first – state-of-the-art technology, such as the best mobile phones.” , electric vehicles, good photovoltaic technology and wind turbines ready to launch an offensive global market.”
The Berliner Zeitung finally woke up. It turns out that in the past, “Germans read not factual reports, but the most ridiculous things … The trend of German reporting on China: No matter what smart Chinese people do, German reporters will come found defects in the ointment and Warning of significant and possibly unrecognized dangers.”
The prejudice of the United States against China is even more serious. For example, China has long relied on the United States, which leads the world, and does not fulfill its responsibilities as a great power. During the war between Ukraine and Russia, he did not stand against the Russian invasion, but instead got Russian crude oil at a low price from India The latest accusation is that China attacked cargo ships in the Red Sea, showed indifference, took advantage’ n blind on the geopolitical crisis, and failed to put proper pressure on Iran and Yemen. In short, China has been receiving the “world’s second dividend” for half a century. Recently, the attitude of the United States has changed.
The White House has gradually changed its monolithic approach towards China because the United States can no longer take care of four to five geopolitical crises in the Middle East, NATO/Russia, and the Asia-Pacific region at the same time. China’s help. White House National Security Adviser Sullivan sought to immediately publicize the success of contact with China after a 12-hour meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Thailand, and revealed in advance that Biden would have a phone call with Xi Jinping to deal in conjunction with complex international issues and stabilizing the global situation. Sullivan’s attitude shows that it will be difficult for the United States to dominate the world alone. Without China, no matter how many aircraft carrier battle groups the United States has, it will be nothing.
Sullivan said in his speech on Tuesday that the US policy towards Taiwan remains unchanged whether before, during or after the election, and is based on the “One China” policy. Of course, he didn’t say “it also includes the US Taiwan Relations Act and its commitments to Taiwan.” On the other hand, it is inevitable that China will “listen to her words and watch her actions” before making her next decision.
The United States is not afraid of China because the relationship between the two countries is not too complicated. Handling the Taiwan issue correctly and then stopping the unilateral technology war and trade war is enough to untie the current bond.

After several market and technology trials, China has gradually opened international sales in the mobile communication and electric vehicle industries, however, the West has not treated China’s technological achievements fairly and arbitrarily added inappropriate colors to opinions the public.

The New York Times revealed that China has a trump card called the “Hefei Model”: after China built Zhengzhou City 10 years ago with a huge smartphone production capacity, it then built an electric vehicle manufacturing center in Hefei and nearby towns in central China. an increase of almost 200% since 2019, it now exceeds the total output of Michigan in the car city of Detroit.
“Hefei’s industrial policy has been so successful in cultivating technology manufacturers that the central government of China has adopted the so-called “Hefei Model” as a creed. “However, Xiao He, who has achieved success, said, “Now, it many cities provide subsidies for electric vehicle factories, which has led to severe overcapacity and serious losses in the industry.” The New York Times discovered the reason for Hefei’s “failure” – domestic real estate After the bubble burst, the financial strength of Hefei’s local government was insufficient, and the car companies could not survive. Many technical staff were laid off and had to run online ride-hailing services to make a living.
Hefei has many strengths. 20% of the world’s consumer electronic liquid core displays are produced in Hefei. Many Lenovo laptops and tablets are also manufactured in Hefei. Hefei produces 10% of China’s home appliances. The municipal government of Hefei has provided 14.4 billion yuan of the 18 billion yuan needed to build China’s first advanced computer memory chip factory.
The above is from the New York Times report. The good news continues: Hefei electric vehicle production quadrupled last year, and Germany’s Volkswagen Group has launched a new local factory, and Hefei electric vehicle production is expected to increase further in 2024. BYD, whose electric vehicle sales have just surpassed US leader Tesla is building a factory in Hefei with plans to produce 1.3 million vehicles a year and is expected to be completed in the short term.
Hefei is not just a factory for the world. The New York Times said that Hefei’s success “is largely due to one of the city’s top engineering universities, just as Carnegie Mellon University championed Pittsburgh’s technological renaissance.” The story is that during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, the University of Science and Technology of China moved the school out of Beijing and moved to Hefei, far away from the political center, in 1970.
Before European Commission President von der Leyen visited Beijing late last year, he planned to launch an investigation into imposing countervailing punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports on the basis of protecting EU manufacturers. The reason China’s electric vehicles are “cheap and high quality” is because of overcapacity due to unlimited government subsidies. China has “dumped” a large number of electric vehicles abroad that cannot be consumed at home. This is equivalent to “flooding” release project” beggar-house-neighbor. The US official media “Voice of America” also raised a shocking suspicion: Xi Jinping’s family is involved in domestically produced electric vehicles, so the government is subsidizing this industry with nationwide efforts.
In fact, the growth of electric vehicles in China depends entirely on the foresight of the previous generation. Thirty years ago, the rocket expert Qian Xuesen wrote to the State Council, proposing the development and manufacture of new energy vehicles, stating that the main priority was the new technology of “car batteries.” In 1993, Qian Xuesen once again proposed that “civilian vehicles must be electrified and use batteries.” The country is determined to develop electric vehicles and skip the stage of gasoline vehicles, not only for speeding in corners, but also to achieve the trend of a new civilization of green and sustainable development.
The Western beauty scandal recently broke in the French media. After several years of investigation, “Le Monde” revealed that the so-called “natural mineral water” including the largest beverage group in the United States and a well-known French mineral water brand is not “pure water” from the earth However, after being labeled with unworthy labels, The price is 100 times more expensive than “tap water”.
It is impossible to describe the tricks of the West. In short, if you use a bottle of European and American brand name mineral water to pretend to be free and relaxed in the sun, and also use the Internet, you like the characters with long braids and small eyes in the Western comics, and you are even more stupid.
