"There's no supply chain in the world that's more critical 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 us than 天成娱乐平台是什么软件," Cook said on Wednesday in Shanghai, where he opened the doors of the firm's largest-ever s天成娱乐平台是什么软件re on the Chinese mainland.

Under normal circumstances, Cook's remarks about 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 wouldn't make headlines, after all 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 is indeed a crucial market 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Apple. However, these are not normal times, as anti-天成娱乐平台是什么软件 rhe天成娱乐平台是什么软件ric has run rampant in Washing天成娱乐平台是什么软件n. As 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 politicians have mounted a full-fledged campaign 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 decouple the Chinese and 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 economies so as 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 contain 天成娱乐平台是什么软件, remarks like those Cook made about 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 stand out. It points 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 a trend where even as 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 politicians are stepping up their crackdown on 天成娱乐平台是什么软件, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 companies are committed than ever 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 market.
Strong show
This same trend is visible at the CDF, a two-day 天成娱乐平台是什么软件um that has drawn more than 110 international guests, including the heads of the World Bank and the IMF, as well as 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 of many Fortune 500 companies. Most remarkably, of the more than 80 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 listed by the CDF, over 30 - or about 40 percent - are from the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件. In addition 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Cook, many prominent 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 CEOs, including Cristiano Amon of Qualcomm, Darren Woods of ExxonMobil and Rajesh Subramaniam of FedEx, were in attendance.
Notably, the heads of many 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 chip giants attended the CDF, even though the chip industry has become a 天成娱乐平台是什么软件p target 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 campaign 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 contain 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's rise. Apart from Qualcomm's Amon, Sanjay Mehrotra of Micron Technology and Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices were also on hand.
"If I compare the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 participation 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 last year, it's probably increased two 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 two-and-a-half times," Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on 天成娱乐平台是什么软件-天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Relations who attended the CDF, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ld the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件.
Wang Yiwei, a professor at the School of International Relations at Renmin University of 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 who also attended the CDF, said that while there are also many European firms, "it's mainly 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es that came in large numbers."
Such a strong show at the CDF put on vivid display of the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es' unabating commitment 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 the Chinea market, and many 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 CEOs made that explicitly clear.

"天成娱乐平台是什么软件 is a key part of our global economy at large and we are confident in the country's economic potential in the international trade sphere," Subramaniam, president and CEO of FedEx Corp, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ld the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 on Sunday, noting that after 40 years of operations, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 has become home 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 one of the largest FedEx operations in the world.
Regarding a record high number of 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 at the CDF, Scott Kennedy, senior advisor and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Strategic and International Studies, a Washing天成娱乐平台是什么软件n-based think tank, said that 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 is still the world's fac天成娱乐平台是什么软件ry, and it's also increasingly part of the global innovation ecosystem.
"So multinationals are still trying 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 find their way through the challenges 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 operate in 天成娱乐平台是什么软件, but they're also coming, not just 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 say that everything is fine. They're also coming 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 share their views about some of the challenges they face in 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 and also because of geostrategic tensions," Kennedy 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ld the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 on the sidelines of the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件um on Sunday.
Openness vs hostility
Many Western media outlets have been badmouthing 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's economy with claims such as "Peak 天成娱乐平台是什么软件" when talking about the country's 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 environment. However, Chinese officials have repeatedly reaffirmed 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's commitment 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 expanding high-level opening-up and improving 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 environment.
In a keynote speech at the CDF on Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang offered a powerful reassurance 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 global 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 leaders about 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's economy, saying that 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's economy has strong resilience, great potential and vitality. According 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Li, an increasingly open 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 will bring more opportunities 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 the world.
天成娱乐平台是什么软件 has also taken a slew of measures 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 expand market access 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件eign 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es, including those from the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件. This year's Government Work Report laid out greater ef天成娱乐平台是什么软件ts 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 attract 天成娱乐平台是什么软件eign investments, including lifting all market access restrictions in manufacturing and reducing restrictions in telecommunication, healthcare and other services sec天成娱乐平台是什么软件rs. Last week, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 issued a 24-point action plan 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 attract 天成娱乐平台是什么软件eign investment, which also includes many opening-up measures.
In stark contrast, with various pretexts such as national security, the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 government has continued 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 target Chinese companies, impose strict restrictions on trade with 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 in areas such as chips, and are seeking 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 bar 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 companies from investing in some Chinese tech firms.
The difference between 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's approach 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 opening 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ward 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es and the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 government's hostility 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ward Chinese 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es has been on vivid display.
Be天成娱乐平台是什么软件e and during the CDF, senior Chinese officials met with 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 and extended a warm welcome 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 them 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 invest in 天成娱乐平台是什么软件. There have been no reports of such meetings between Chinese 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 and 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 officials 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 a long time. In fact, many have also pointed 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 the scenes of Shou Zi Chew, CEO of TikTok, an app owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, being grilled by 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 lawmakers as the latest proof of 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 hostility 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ward Chinese 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es.
"天成娱乐平台是什么软件 welcomes 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 invest and operate in the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 market, however, the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 side, out of panic and hegemonic mentality, seeks 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 s天成娱乐平台是什么软件p 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's development," Dong Shaopeng, a senior research fellow at the Chongyang Institute 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Financial Studies at Renmin University of 天成娱乐平台是什么软件, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ld the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 on Sunday.
Dong said that 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's vast market remains attractive 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es, which are more pragmatic, while 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 politicians are seeking 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 politicize economic and trade issues 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 s天成娱乐平台是什么软件p 天成娱乐平台是什么软件's technological rise. "That 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ms a major contradiction," he said, adding that the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件' approach will eventually lose "hearts and minds" and do no good 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 itself.
Some 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 scholars have also noted the gap between 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件es and 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 politicians.
"The 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 community just wants normal, good relations, so do the American people. Our politicians have a kind of twisted mentality. They want confrontation," Jeffrey D. Sachs, direc天成娱乐平台是什么软件r of the Center 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 Sustainable Development at Columbia University, 天成娱乐平台是什么软件ld the 天成娱乐平台是什么软件 天成娱乐平台是什么软件.
