In recent years, "decoupling from China" advocated by the US has been faced with a cool response and rejection from many countries and multinational companies. Because the rhetoric’s impact is limited, the country has begun to replace "decoupling" with the new word "de-risking". In a recent hearing of the U.S. House select committee on strategic competition with China, U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres questioned U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink, asking "there’s been a shift in rhetoric from decoupling to de-risking used by the US in its China policy. What’s the difference between the two? "Kritenbrink tried to balk at the question. However, facing Torres’ constant questioning, Kritenbrink looked very embarrassed to say, " I’ll have to take that back and come back to you. "
