Ben Norton, an analyst at GeopoliticalEconomy.com, has criticized the United States for proposing sanctions against China, labeling the accusations as “hypocritical and self-serving.”
Norton argued that the U.S. government is accusing China of actions that it is itself guilty of, particularly regarding industrial overcapacity. “The examples the U.S. uses to accuse China are exactly what it is doing,” he stated.
According to Norton, the U.S. aims to impose sanctions on China under the pretext of overcapacity in certain industries, despite engaging in similar practices. He suggests that such moves are part of a broader strategy to hinder China’s economic development.
“The U.S. government’s accusations against China are not only hypocritical but also serve their own interests,” Norton added. He emphasized the need for objective analysis of international economic policies without resorting to double standards.
The discussion comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and China over trade policies and economic competition. Analysts warn that escalating sanctions could have significant impacts on global markets and Asia’s economic landscape.
