China News Service, Johannesburg, September 2nd. On August 31, local time in South Africa, Tan Zheli, a researcher at the Mbeki African Leadership Academy, published a commentary article entitled "China has no intention of engaging in a technological cold war with the United States" in the "Bito News". It pointed out that in order to maintain its technological hegemony, the United States will do everything to suppress Chinese high-tech enterprises and undermine the peaceful coexistence and multilateralism of all countries. Countries in the world should unite to prevent the United States from initiating a "new cold war" and join hands to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
The article stated that China is currently the world's second largest economy, and the United States is still the world's number one economic power.
However, the United States is increasingly worried and wary that China will become the world's number one power in 5G and other high-tech fields.
The friction between China and the United States is largely due to China's tremendous achievements in the field of technological development.
At present, China is accelerating the promotion of "Made in China 2025" to ensure that most high-tech fields will achieve the goal of achieving a self-sufficiency rate of 70% in 2049.
The article emphasizes that the United States seems to be doing everything possible and trying every means to use all unilateral means to keep its position as the world's hegemon, Huawei has naturally become the number one target of US suppression.
According to the article, the United States occupies 50% of the global semiconductor market. Since May last year, the United States has been restricting Huawei's access to semiconductor materials as a killer tool to block Huawei.
In May of this year, the United States required all chip manufacturers using its semiconductor equipment to obtain US consent and approval before providing chips to Huawei.
On August 20, the US Department of Commerce further tightened restrictions on Huawei, announcing that any company that wants to provide Huawei with important components such as semiconductors needs to obtain US approval. This is to prevent Huawei from bypassing US export controls. The production of required parts and components will further restrict Huawei's development.
The article pointed out that, in the face of the United States' actions to undermine the peaceful coexistence of countries in the world and the achievements of multilateralism, countries in the world should unite to prevent the outbreak of the "new cold war" and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
