on september 12, the 11th beijing xiangshan forum was officially opened at the beijing international convention center. lawrence freeman, an american writer on african issues and an analyst of african political economy, said that the idea of ​​the united states wanting to "decouple" from china is "economic suicide."

when asked about his views on the "decoupling theory" between china and the united states, freeman pointed out that the "decoupling" between the united states and china will undoubtedly trigger a crisis. if this really happens, it will be an economic disaster for the west. almost all products in the united states are made in china.

freeman added: "some people have proposed 'selective decoupling' to try to ease the process, while others believe that 'decoupling' will not be a problem. but this is actually 'decoupling' the united states from the world, which in turn increases tensions in the world. so those who advocate 'decoupling' have not seriously considered the consequences."

regarding the impact of the upcoming us election on sino-us economic relations, freeman said: "neither of the existing candidates from either party has proposed a benign china policy, so i don't support either side."

“they are all controlled by crazy political interest groups that are full of ideology and prejudice and are indoctrinating the american people and do not understand the potential of cooperation with china,” freeman said.

"that's made the american public a little bit dulled over the last few decades. so when they hear about china, their reaction is, 'well, it's all china's fault.'"

“i know about china because i read about it and i went to china,” freeman said.
