美学者通告全球，这仗是美国输，美财长嘴硬：经济崩溃的不是美国

Core Viewpoint - The recent statements by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about China's economic model being on the decline contrast sharply with a new report from leading American economists, which concludes that the U.S. has actually lost in the ongoing economic competition with China [1][10]. Group 1: Economic Competition - The U.S. has employed various strategies since 2018, including tariffs and technology restrictions, to curb China's economic growth, but these measures have inadvertently accelerated China's industrial upgrades and sustainable development [1][10]. - In 2025, despite the U.S. imposing new tariffs on Chinese goods, China's trade data showed a record high in imports and exports, exceeding 20 trillion yuan in the first half of the year [1][10]. - China's exports of electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar cells have thrived even under U.S. and European technological restrictions, demonstrating resilience and adaptability in the face of market challenges [1][3]. Group 2: Industry Insights - Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers have established comprehensive advantages in price competitiveness, technological innovation, and supply chain management, allowing them to capture market share in emerging markets despite losing some traditional markets [3][4]. - The success of China's photovoltaic industry is attributed to its complete industrial chain integration, which enables it to maintain the lowest global prices without relying on government subsidies [8][10]. - The U.S. has struggled with inconsistent energy policies, which have hindered its ability to compete effectively in the renewable energy sector, while China's stable policy environment has fostered a competitive new energy industry [4][6]. Group 3: Strategic Missteps - The U.S. has failed to create a cohesive strategy that aligns policy, capital investment, and market mechanisms, leading to missed opportunities in key industries [6][10]. - American accusations of China's export policies being unfair do not hold up when considering the global demand for the products China exports, which are essential for the green transition [6][8]. - The U.S. Treasury Secretary's remarks reflect a deeper issue of the U.S. being outmaneuvered in the economic competition, as all attempts to contain China have not yielded the desired results [10][11].
