Quora: Now that Trump has all but declared war on China, demanding China be held accountable for unleashing COVID-19 on America, is this just another stunt for his election campaign or does Trump truly want a war with China?
Donald Canton replied:
Yes, Trump has too many exceptionally excellent ideas and expressions to make many countries mad. His only one accomplishment was counted in killing an Iranian general successfully. He continues bashing China and the best Chinese high tech companies like Huawei, Tecent, TZE, TikTok, …, etc. with national security, virus, …, etc. to no avail.
The Trump administration has been banning all the companies to partner with Huawei and provide Huawei the parts. However, in the end, only some foreign companies like TSMC and MediaTek, catering to the US imperial sanctions against China, were hit, but the US companies will get the licenses to trade with Huawei to save jobs in the USA and stop the looming unemployment. That is to say, the U.S. ruled out the other business competitors that cooperate with China, leaving only those American companies like AMD, Intel, …, etc. allowed to trade with China. Thus, ASML will also start speeding up their layout in the huge profitable Chinese market.
As to TikTok, Washington’s methods are extreme pressure, blackmail, and the temptation of frontline vitality. The United States has a joint operation in which the government, congressional forces and American companies actively respond and cooperate, and the American media are also happy to see the results of this dirty hunt and help beat the side drum.
TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, are too thin, obviously unable to deal with the almighty institutional plunder on their own. The Chinese government stepped forward in time, and first included the "personalized information push service technology based on data analysis" in the "China's Export Prohibited and Restricted Technology Catalog" on August 28, 2020, which dampened the arrogance of the United States. When the United States expressed "agreement in principle" to the agreement reached by ByteDance with Oracle and Wal-Mart, and wanted to confirm this agreement in one go, China again sent a clear signal against the agreement, thus rewriting the plot moving direction in this struggle. Any single Chinese company is too weak, but China as a whole will not accept blackmail from the United States, nor will it hand over control of an outstanding high-tech company in China to the United States in accordance with a script written by the United States.
The success of the Chinese high tech companies such as Huawei and ByteDance proves that China’s overall business environment has the ability to incubate the Chinese high tech companies with its own core technologies and global competitiveness. The Chinese can’t let these exceptional companies in China become fat sheep arbitrarily slaughtered by the United States or the lifeline of China's future technological development fall into the hands of Washington.
The Chinese hope to maintain fair and mutually beneficial cooperation with the American, but the Chinese are also ready to wage a resolute struggle against US bullying and robbery logic. The choice is open for both sides. Peace will benefit both and fight will hurt both. This is a philosophy that the Chinese have long believed in. It is no longer a luxury to hope that big countries will face each other in the 21st century.
What an accomplishment! It is not a stunt but a disguise for Trump. No wars are needed but simply words of mouth. Calm down and enjoy the show.
