In an exclusive interview with China News Network, Benjamin also exposed the hypocrisy of the U.S. He noted that the U.S. in history benefited from outsourcing its industries and consequently undermined its own industrial base. However, now it accuses China of causing its developmental problems. Also, the U.S. government subsidizes its own industries while condemning China for doing the same, the expert added.

(ECNS) -- Benjamin Norton, founder and editor-in-chief of the Geopolitical Economy Report, criticized the U.S. for its double standards in accusing China of "overcapacity," pointing out that U.S. allies like South Korea, Japan, and Germany have long relied on heavy exports, yet they have not faced similar criticism.

中国近来，以美国为首的部分西方国家频繁炒作“中国产能过剩论”。美国《地缘政治经济报告》创始人、外交政策专家贲杰民接受中新网专访时批驳了这一伪命题，他指出，美国在这一问题上奉行双重标准，显得十分虚伪。

贲杰民认为，中国通过建设、发展基础设施和投资教育等方式，成功打造了一批有竞争力的产业，并且通过与发展中国家合作，促进全球能源转型，积极应对气候变化问题，推动实现互利共赢。(赵丽)

贲杰民分析说，历史上，美国通过产业外包获利，却因此破坏了自身的工业基础，如今反而贼喊捉贼，将其自身发展问题嫁祸给中国。此外，美国政府对本国企业提供大量补贴，却同时指责中国“不公平竞争”。
