Fabricating the 'China Squeeze'? What Kind of Drama Is This?
A U.S. report previously pushed a "China Squeeze" narrative, and now mainstream U.S. media are claiming China is "pulling up the ladder," falsely accusing China of squeezing out the Global South's industrial space. They're trying to stage a divisive drama, but facts speak louder than words. China's trade-weighted average tariff has dropped to just 3%, and it has granted zero tariff to 53 African countries. Imports from the Global South have exceeded $1 trillion in a decade. The Belt and Road Initiative has invested nearly $1.4 trillion. This isn't "pulling up the ladder" — it's "building a ladder." A report with an ulterior motive cannot destroy the friendship forged through shared hardships, and the tide of development surging forward will not be halted by a few discordant noises.
