Core Viewpoint - The Financial Times argues that the U.S. trade confrontation with China is based on misperceptions, leading to ineffective strategies and negative consequences for both economies [2][22]. Group 1: Economic Misjudgments - The U.S. has misjudged China's economic strength, believing it to be on the verge of collapse due to trade wars, while in reality, China has increased R&D investments and surpassed the U.S. in patent applications [4][9]. - Since 2018, the U.S. has imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods, failing to reduce the trade deficit and instead increasing costs for American consumers by hundreds of billions [5][17]. Group 2: Global Trade Dynamics - The U.S. actions reflect a disregard for international trade rules, imposing tariffs without evidence and linking trade issues to national security, which disrupts global supply chains [7][19]. - China, in contrast, adheres to multilateral mechanisms and emphasizes mutual benefits, with predictions indicating that U.S. policies could lower global growth rates significantly [7][19].
