China’s concept of strategic autonomy is about dual circulation

Resumen

La doble circulación de China podría considerarse una forma de autonomía estratégica, pero difiere en muchos aspectos. En primer lugar, la doble circulación de China tiene como objetivo último la autosuficiencia de China o, en otras palabras, la reducción de la dependencia de China de las importaciones occidentales, especialmente de tecnología o cualquier otra que pueda crear cuellos de botella para la economía china. Aunque el concepto de autonomía estratégica de la UE también presta atención a la resistencia de las cadenas de suministro, su objetivo último no es la autosuficiencia, ya que se centra en la codependencia, como se ha aclarado con la adición de autonomía estratégica «abierta». Por último, la doble circulación de China también pretende fomentar los mercados de exportación más allá de la ya muy elevada cuota de China en las exportaciones mundiales, lo que inevitablemente aumenta la dependencia mundial de China.
