Disrupting market under fabricated veneer of 'national security' hurts US' own interest

Healthy trade relations between China and the United States are beneficial for the development of the economies of both countries. The same is true of cooperation in science and technology between the two countries.

However, what Washington is doing with its recent ban on imports of foreign-made drones and related components, including drones from China's DJI, and the announcement of future tariffs on Chinese semiconductor imports signal Washington is still pursuing its long harbored desire to decouple the US from China in such high-tech areas.

China has repeatedly reminded the US side that such actions represent typical market distortion and unilateral bullying practices.
