GT Voice: Backlash against US export licensing shows futility of containing China_我的网站

Months-long American export license delays are costing the US billions in exports and eroding American market share globally, the US-China Business Council (USCBC) said in a flash survey released on Tuesday.
The survey noted that poorly calibrated US export controls weaken American companies in China, ceding market share to foreign competitors while reducing the profits available for research and development (R&D).
Designed originally to safeguard national security and serve legitimate foreign policy interests, the US export licensing system has become increasingly politicized, gradually turning into a political tool that obstructs normal economic and trade exchanges. The USCBC survey serves as a stark reminder of how such overreach has backfired on American companies.
In recent years, US politicians have clung to the misplaced belief that restricting exports of advanced goods and core technologies would slow the upgrading of China's tech industry and secure America's technological supremacy. Yet, they overestimated their leverage, while grossly underestimating the developmental resilience that China has built over decades of growth.
Today's China is no longer a passive follower or technology importer. Instead, it has grown into a robust innovation powerhouse with complete industrial chains and strong endogenous driving forces in numerous key technological sectors. Rather than stifling China's technological progress, America's escalating containment measures have only forced China to accelerate industrial upgrading and supply chain optimization.
In the meantime, while US politicians have been indulging in the illusion of building a "tech wall" through licensing restrictions, the self-inflicted damage to the US has grown increasingly impossible to ignore. Reuters reported in August 2025 that thousands of license applications by US companies to export goods and technology around the globe, including to China, were in limbo because turmoil at the agency in charge of approving them had left it nearly paralyzed.
The USCBC survey also listed license delays as the most common challenge identified by 95 percent of companies. For items bound for Chinese customers, two-thirds of companies have had licenses pending for at least three months, exceeding the US Commerce Department's statutory requirements to process applications within 90 days, and 31 percent have had licenses pending for one to two years.
As a result, American tech companies can only watch helplessly as orders that once belonged to them flow to suppliers in other countries. These licensing delays not only impose administrative costs far exceeding expectations, but also severely disrupt normal cross‑border commerce. From semiconductor components to high‑end industrial materials, and from aerospace ancillary products to cutting‑edge research instruments, countless routine trade transactions have been artificially severed. The market advantages that US firms took years to forge is being eroded by the very policies meant to protect them.
From a deeper economic perspective, the export licensing system is particularly lethal to America's innovation ecosystem. Usually, companies allocate a significant portion of their revenue to R&D and technological innovation. However, if the products resulting from these investments cannot be sold in a major market, investment returns will be affected, and the incentive for companies to continue investing in innovation will be undermined. As underscored by the USCBC survey, the export licensing regime diminishes America's ability to innovate and undermines US economic security.
In trying to contain China's industrial rise, the US has ended up undermining its own interests, laying bare the fundamental divide between two development paths. On one hand, the US attempts to fragment global industrial chains through administrative intervention, trade barriers and technological "decoupling" to sustain its dominant position. Yet, such obstructive practices only undermine the competitiveness of domestic industries and weaken America's own innovative vitality.
On the other side, China adheres to high-standard opening-up and win-win cooperation. By continuously opening its vast domestic market and providing foreign companies with a stable business environment, China has built a mutually beneficial global industrial collaboration network. China understands that genuine competitiveness comes from sustained independent innovation, sophisticated industrial supporting systems and market vitality. Precisely because China has chosen to expand openness and deepen cooperation, it has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of external containment and constructed a globally integrated supply network.

B | 去年11月14日，两名年龄不详的女受害人到拉扎鲁斯岛露营时，看到被告裸着身子骑着脚踏车，被告发现她们后立即下车，将脚踏车留在走道上，进入丛林躲起来。被告随后回到脚踏车上继续裸身骑行，并经过两名女受害人。被告称，自己的衣物被海水冲走，向她们要了一些衣物，但遭拒绝。两名女受害人隔天早上看到穿着衣物的被告，中午再次看到他时，他已脱去底裤和长裤；第三次撞见他时，他全身赤裸，肩膀上披了一个小毛巾。两名女受害人事后向警方举报，拉扎鲁斯岛出现一名全身赤裸的男子。在大学向女生露宝被告也承认去年5月再南洋理工大学和国大向女学生露宝。去年5月18日晚上10点左右，被告到国大大学城的李棕体艺中心（Stephen Riady Centre）使用无障碍厕所。

D | 女子看到他躺在厕所地上，并叫另一名女同学协助她一起把被告扶起来。被告告诉两人，他弄伤了膝盖和手肘。当她们靠近被告时，发现他没穿好裤子，露出下体。

E | 两名女生不断要求被告穿好裤子，并协助他到附近的巴士站。两人事后报警，指一名男子两次在厕所向女学生露宝。5月23日，南大一名女学生看到被告趴在校内一间无障碍厕所的墙上，被告穿着衬衫，但没穿好裤子。被告伸手请女子扶她起来，请她帮他穿好裤子，但女子发现被告能使用双手，因此拒绝了他的要求。她也警告被告不要靠向她。这时，另一名曾在同一晚目睹被告露下体的女学生在男同学的陪伴下回到厕所，正好撞见被告对着新对象“下手”，便报警处理。
