Trump finally admitted defeat! Many people were shocked by his harsh words that "I have cards to destroy China," but they did not understand the real subtext of this sentence. The point was not that he had any unbelievable cards at all. The point was that Trump, who shouted "China has no cards" every day, admitted for the first time: "China has some cards in its hands"!

On August 26, Trump, during a meeting with South Korean President Lee in Ming, received a visit and, as usual, said to reporters: "I have cards that can destroy China."
Many people's first reaction was to tighten their hearts and think that the United States really has some secret weapon. But if you listen carefully, he changed the topic and admitted that "China also has some cards." This is the key point.
That Trump, who has been bite in China for several years without a card, finally let go for the first time, it is not a simple language change, but a psychological defense line twist.
You know, when he signed the tariff order in 2018, Trump almost triumphantly declared that the United States firmly had the upper hand and China had no room for counterattack.
At that time, his attitude was like that of a person who flipped the table at the poker table, believing that he was holding Wang fried, and his opponent could only fold his cards. But after several years, the trade friction failed to win in one blow, and the technological blockade failed to make China submit. Now he even admitted that "the other party has cards", which is the most straightforward confession.
A person who is accustomed to bluffing, small changes in tone are often more valuable than surface threats.
So what is China’s bottom line for Trump not to dare to let go of it?
These resources are vital to the U.S. military industry and new energy industries, without it, the motors of electric vehicles cannot move, and the guiding system of the missile will also stop.
While the U.S. is searching for alternatives, it is not able to get rid of its dependence on China in a short time, and the agricultural market, China is one of the largest buyers of U.S. soybeans.
As long as imports are restricted, large farmlands in the U.S. Midwest will fall into trouble, and farmers' votes will directly turn into pressure on Trump, which hasn't counted China's technological advances in the fields of air defense, space and other fields, let alone the huge economic resilience brought by the cohesion of 1.4 billion people.
But what is the trump card in Trump's mouth? Tariffs? Almost every means that can be used now has been used, and raising the number again is just a replay of the old song.
A military strike? That was more like a movie episode. If the United States really did it, it would have to pay an unbearable price. If these options were ruled out, all that was left was bluff.
He repeatedly said "I have cards", but always refused to reveal what the specific card, instead repeated "if you hit it out, China will be destroyed", this statement sounds more like a psychological consolation to the voters, used to prove that he still has the initiative, in other words, he shouted the more violent, the more explaining the heart.
In contrast, China’s attitude appeared to be much cooler, with the Foreign Ministry spokesman responding with only a short word and not engaging with him in the battle of mouth.
In the face of Trump's high-definition diplomacy, the best way is not to be taken away, in the Sino-U.S. relations, China's goal is always not to roll the table, stay stable, even if the other side screams and screams, do not have to dance.
So looking at Trump's words apart, what is really valuable is not the threat of "destroying China", but the reality of acknowledging that China has cards!
