USA and China: Technological Conflict or Diplomacy? Find Out How Antony Blinken Addresses the Issue in Impactful Interview

Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State of the United States, often acts as a counterpoint to Gina Raimondo, the Secretary of Commerce of the U.S. Administration. The stance that the latter tends to adopt in front of the media in the context of the technological war with China is often belligerent. However, Blinken often chooses to make statements with a conciliatory tone. Indeed, he has just made them.

Last Friday, during an interview on national public radio, he argued that the sanctions that the USA is enacting are not intended to undermine China’s economic or technological development; they are merely meant to protect the interests and security of the United States. It is evident that with these statements, Blinken aims to support his argument about the need to prevent Xi Jinping’s government from using American technologies to strengthen its military development.

In the context of tensions that dominate the relationship between the United States and China, any statement from a competent member of their governments that serves to calm the scenario a bit is welcome. However, that was probably not Blinken’s only purpose in making his statement last Friday. Certainly, his words also aimed to reinforce his arguments to countries whose economies are being affected by the sanctions, such as the Netherlands, Germany, or Japan.

“Huawei just launched a new laptop powered with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities thanks to the incorporation of an Intel chip […] I believe this demonstrates that we are only protecting our most sensitive technology that could compromise our security. We have no intention of sabotaging trade, much less containing or stifling China’s development,” Blinken said during the interview to strengthen the core of his speech.

However, the words of the Secretary of State of the United States may be compromised sooner or later. Several Republican lawmakers openly criticized that the Department of Commerce has allowed Intel and Qualcomm to continue selling some of their advanced chips to Chinese companies. Michael Gallagher, who chairs the House Committee dedicated to China, does not understand why, in the current situation, American semiconductor manufacturers are allowed to continue selling cutting-edge integrated circuits to Huawei.

“One of the biggest mysteries happening in Washington D.C. is why the Department of Commerce continues to allow American technology to be sent to Huawei.” This statement from Gallagher is nothing more than a pressure measure on the Joe Biden administration aimed at forcing it to further toughen sanctions on China. So far, neither the Department of Commerce nor Intel has commented, but there is a possibility that the permit allowing Intel to sell processors for laptops to Huawei will not be renewed when it expires at the end of this year.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Dolphins trained by the Soviet Union, bought by Iran and cited in rumors against US ships rekindle one of the most curious military stories of the Strait of Hormuz.

The end of the brick: a new wall system makes construction faster and significantly reduces site waste by cutting material losses from 25% to less than 5% and erecting pre-built walls in just 24 hours without breakage or excessive rubble.

Formerly “a joke,” Paraguay now runs circles around Brazil in technology by attracting a US$50 billion megadata center, seducing the US with Itaipu’s clean energy, growing 6.6%, and advancing towards the top of innovation in South America.

The government launched this Monday (05/11) Tesouro Reserva, a public bond with profitability of 100% of the Selic, a minimum investment of R$ 1, and immediate redemption, aimed at emergency reserves. For now, it is only possible to invest through Banco do Brasil.
