Agreed, but the response shouldn't be reactive, tic for tat or for the sake of reacting, they should use it as an opportunity to advance their own interest instead. Since the US is slowly breaking and bending the international rules to their favor, China should do the same as well.I agreed that the US govt is completely focused on containing China and sabotaging any successful Chinese company. And no matter what China does, US will continue to follow that course of action. However, China needs to respond and impose a cost on hostile US actions. If there's no response, it would become an open season for Chinese companies where the US and allies will try to crush them everywhere.
Like what I suggested before, they should start making it harder for US to enforce their sanctions by making the industry more opaque and make it difficult to protect their own business interest within China by making it harder for them to enforce or defend their patents and copyrights. These moves must not be announced and must be self-evident, like in previous cases with Lithuania, make the reaction unpredictable in order to sow doubt and uncertainty.
