The issue of US growing antagonism against China has been aired in
GoaNet a couple of times but the writers did not side with China.
Traditionally, India, a rather primitive state compared with the US or
China, has sided with the US because it looks to the US for help when in
distress, as was the case in the border war of 1962. In the present
border clash, China again got the better of India (killing some 20
Indian soldiers and wounding over 70).
What can India do? The US felt sorry for India and made some comforting
noises.So Modi knows very well. China is too powerful for India and can
only join the western allies as a junior partner in their military games
to embarrass China.
But China is also proving uncomfortably powerful for the US. The US
Attorney General William Barr explained in a revealing speech on 17 July
2020 explained why the United States has escalated
its cold war on China. The roots of the US-initiated war lie in the
threat the People’s Republic of China poses to US technological
supremacy.
Barr argued that the “prosperity for our children and grandchildren”
depends on the global economy remaining Americanized.
Chinese-owned firms, in his view, must be prevented from dominating key
emerging growth sectors, including 5G, robotics, and AI.
These sectors must remain in the hands of Western (and preferably US)
investors.Washington’s major grievance with China is that the Chinese
Communist Party has vaulted China from the ranks of
poorer countries meant to serve the US to a high technological level
which threatens to topple corporate America from its top perch
of the global economy.
