What this means is that, they are trying to limit the consumption of superior foreign goods, that they themselves were building. So, what the Chinese government is doing is saying, ok, we've built this goods for you, and since we gained knowledge from you, your goods are no longer as useful. This type of thinking will eventually be applied to American goods. They are subtlely telling us, that they don't really need us, hinting at still being a isolationalist nation.
China likes the way it is, it is a semi superpower, it likes the fact that it doesn't have to be the policeman of the world, that is the US's job.
