China has always upheld an open and inclusive attitude, and actively carried out international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, equal treatment, mutual benefit and win-win results.

Today, China is actively integrating into the global innovation network to create a world-class open innovation ecosystem with win-win cooperation. For example, the Juncao technology, which in Chinese means breeding fungi with herbaceous plants, has been used in more than 100 countries and regions, effectively promoting poverty reduction and employment. After China's COVID vaccines are developed and put into use, they serve as a global public product and make an important contribution to the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries. Relying on a number of technologies with completely independent intellectual property rights, China's high-speed rail has been used in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and other regions, facilitating interconnection and benefiting local communities.

In November 2021 and November 2022, the First Committee of the UN General Assembly twice adopted the resolution "Promoting International Cooperation on Peaceful Uses in the Context of International Security" led by China, which opened up issues such as peaceful uses and export control within the framework of the UN. The new process of inclusive dialogue reflects the reasonable demands and strong consensus of the international community, especially developing countries, on the peaceful use of science and technology, which is in stark contrast to approach taken by the US.

In the current situation where the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, inflation in Europe and the US remains high, the world suffers from supply chain disorder, and growth expectations are sluggish. The US is trying to promote "decoupling" in the high-tech field, which has brought great harm to the global economy. Even the public opinion in the US and its allies have questioned its effectiveness and scientific nature. The strategic miscalculations undermining America's technology competition with China.

The international community has clearly realized that behind the different choices of China and the US, there are differences in the two concepts. Starting from a community with a shared future for mankind, China insists on working together for mutual benefit and win-win results as the only correct choice. Therefore, China is willing to achieve mutual success with the world through openness. However, the US, which claims to be the defender of today's world order, has anxiety and fear of the rapid development of other countries, and has slipped into conservatism without confidence.

If civilization is self-enclosed for a long time, it will inevitably decline. The lessons of history and the reality of the situation are worthy of serious reflection by elites in Washington. Let unity replace division, cooperation replace confrontation, tolerance replace exclusion. Only in this way can we tide over difficulties and create a better future together.
