美媒刊文：美国若想保持竞争力，就必须与中国合作

Group 1 - The article emphasizes that the U.S. must consider collaboration with China to maintain its competitive edge, as evidenced by recent agreements between Canada and the EU that indicate a shift in the West's hardline stance on Chinese technology [1][3] - Canada has agreed to import a limited number of Chinese electric vehicles at low tariffs, while the EU has allowed Chinese automakers to set minimum prices for their electric vehicles to avoid tariffs [1][3] - The U.S. manufacturing sector has seen a decline in employment for eight consecutive months, largely due to an unfavorable policy environment for clean energy, which has led to the cancellation of $8 billion in clean energy investment plans [1] Group 2 - Despite challenges, U.S. companies are actively seeking Chinese technology, with Ford planning to produce grid-scale energy storage batteries in Kentucky using technology from CATL and considering a partnership with BYD [2] - Tesla is also utilizing Chinese technology by using battery cells from CATL and building a battery cell factory in Nevada with equipment sourced from the Chinese company [2] - A poll by the Royal Institute of International Affairs indicates that over half of Americans support government procurement of Chinese clean energy technology, reflecting a growing recognition of the advanced technology offered by Chinese products [2] Group 3 - Other Western countries are recognizing the need for a more nuanced approach to trade and investment with China, with the EU and Canada focusing on how to collaborate rather than whether to collaborate [3] - Successful cooperation could enable U.S. companies to access and learn from Chinese technology, train local workers, and create high-paying jobs, while implementing targeted safeguards for sensitive areas instead of blanket bans [3] - The current issue is not whether Chinese technology can enter the U.S., as American companies are already seeking it, but rather how the U.S. can leverage this technology for its own prosperity in the global market [3]
