Opinion | US technology war against China has little possibility of success
Ulrich Blum, Professor Emeritus of Martin Luther University  Halle-Wittenberg in Germany, said in a recent interview with China Youth Daily  that below the military level, where the US is unlikely to attack China,  technology wars are the most likely attempts to dominate China's development.  But given China's technology base, there is little probability of success. At  least history tells that technological performance is the best safeguard against  sanctions.
Blum has been deeply involved in the study of economic warfare  theories since 2013. He is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of the German Institute for  Lithium Technology and Economics, and has long served as a guest professor at  the University of International Business and Economics in China, making him very  familiar with China's national conditions.
"A financial war between China and the US is unlikely, it would  accelerate the de-dollarization of the world economy." Blum pointed out. He  further noted that a legal war, such as secondary sanctions, could be a  potential option in the US "toolbox". However, this would require European  countries to align closely with the US, a difficult prospect given that the  protracted Russia-Ukraine conflict has created a dilemma for Europe, which  relies on US military support.
