美国怎么也没想到，为中国挖的陷阱竟然困住了自己

Group 1 - The U.S. initiated a trade war against China starting in 2018, imposing high tariffs on Chinese goods to protect domestic industries and reduce trade deficits, but this led to increased costs for American consumers, with an average household spending over $1,000 more annually due to tariffs [1][3] - Despite the trade war, China's exports remained resilient, redirecting markets to Southeast Asia and Europe, while U.S. importers sought alternatives in countries like Vietnam and Mexico, which also faced rising production costs, exacerbating inflation in the U.S. [3][5] - The U.S. semiconductor industry was adversely affected by sanctions against Chinese tech firms like Huawei and ZTE, leading to revenue declines for major companies such as Intel and AMD, prompting the U.S. government to subsidize the domestic semiconductor sector [5][11] Group 2 - The U.S. has increased military and diplomatic efforts to contain China, including arms sales to Taiwan and strengthening alliances with Japan and Australia, but these actions have faced challenges, such as cost overruns and delays in military projects [7][9] - The U.S. support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia aimed to weaken Sino-Russian ties, but resulted in Russia strengthening its economic relationship with China, while Europe faced economic downturns due to high energy prices [9][11] - Overall, despite various measures taken by the U.S. to counter China's rise, China has adapted and continued to develop its international connections, particularly through initiatives like the Belt and Road, indicating a shift in the balance of power between the two nations [11]
