The Impact and Response of Trade Sanctions

Abstract

As China-U.S. relations become more complex, the United States considers China a major competitor and employs various means to impose trade sanctions, exerting pressure on Chinese enterprises. Among these measures, export controls in the high-tech and communication sectors are prevalent, often justified under the banner of "national security." The U.S.'s sanctioning behavior reflects its concerns about China's rise in these fields, attempting to maintain its technological advantage by controlling the export of crucial technologies and curb the development of China's technology and communication industries. The frequent use of U.S. export controls in recent years has had a significant impact on Chinese enterprises. In this context, it is essential to delve into the characteristics of U.S. trade sanctions to comprehensively understand their impact on Sino-U.S. trade. Additionally, understanding China's responses to these sanctions is crucial for our country's enterprises to more effectively navigate and counteract the measures imposed by the United States.
