The US State Department, without providing any evidence as usual, announced sanctions on three Chinese aerospace entities on Friday, claiming they were engaged in unspecified "missile technology proliferation activities".

This is nothing but the latest example of the bullying and double standards of the United States, as well as its brazen reneging on the commitment its leader made to bring China-US relations back on to the right track.

The announcement came shortly after US President Joe Biden hinted that he was willing to lift some of the punitive tariffs on Chinese imports that his administration had inherited from its predecessor but the domestic political situation wouldn't allow him to do so yet.

As such, the announcement signals that the Biden administration will continue its aggressive China policy at the expense of the global industrial and supply chains that is hurting the US economy and enterprises as much as the Chinese economy and enterprises.

That means although it is increasingly a consensus in the US that easing trade tensions with China will help ease its inflation pressures and relieve US companies and consumers of the burden of actually paying for about 90 percent of the tariffs, the anti-China forces still have the deciding say.

To the dismay of these anti-China elements in Washington, China's trade with the US has soared more than 20 percent last year, further consolidating China's position as the largest trade partner of the US, and despite these China bashers trying to pressure the US' allies to shun Chinese products, services and technologies, China's trade has risen with almost all these countries.

Thanks to the large-scale bailout policies and spending plans the Biden administration has implemented, the US is buying more, due to excessive liquidity, but producing less, because of the reduced inclination to work, leaving the US with no choice but to rely on imports from China.

It is the same case for the trade between China and the other major consumer market economies that increased more than 20 percent last year.

The disconnect with economic reality explains why the US' China policy cannot reap what it is intended to sow.

Even as the US steps up its efforts to contain China's rise by attempting to drive a wedge between the rest of the world and China, the rest of the world has become more dependent on China for trade.

Another factor that renders the anti-China policies a fool's errand is that China realizes a prosperous US serves its interests and those of the world. Therefore, although it opposes any hegemonic acts, it does not challenge the interests of the US.

The strategic composure that China demonstrates in the face of the US provocations lies in its awareness that the China bashers' hijacking of Washington can only be temporary since it manifests the gap between their perceptions and reality.
