US administration can't keep its hands out of the market

Editor's note: If development of the United States is a miracle, then one of the sources for the miracle is the result of international division of labor. Zhong Sheng, a columnist for People's Daily, comments:

The US once stood out for its role in the formation of a free global market and the international division of labor, and its adherence to fair competition was once viewed as a value coordinate the US was proud of. However, some US politicians seem to have forgotten where they came from, and are becoming desperate to shackle the "invisible hand" of the market with their "omnipresent overbearing hands".

For example, US intelligence officials frequently hype up unwarranted business risks in China, the US government departments try all available means to block Chinese enterprises in the name of "national security", and even pressure allies to restrict Chinese enterprises. Such behavior has openly abandoned the concepts of "openness, liberty, and fair competition" once advocated by the US itself, and completely destroyed the US' self-trumpeted image of being a defender of fair competition.
