In the last 72 hours, Trump received bad news. The United States had to deal with not only China alone, but 25 countries, including many of its own allies, all of whom were excited and determined to blow the clarion call of resistance.
According to CCTV news reports, a few days ago, the United Nations Universal Postal Union announced that 25 member countries have decided to suspend sending parcels to the United States due to the uncertainty brought by the new regulations of the United States.
The focus comes, these unnamed anti-American countries, the vast majority of which are allies of the United States, including the European Union countries including DEFA, and the leaders who have just visited the United States of Korea, they probably did not think that the closer they are to the United States, the greater the hit will be.
Because Trump intends to suspend the duty-free treatment for small imported packages, that is, after September, packages sent to the United States will pay full tax regardless of the value.
US suspends duty exemption on imported packages
It is well known that the trade between Europe and the United States is closely linked, and Trump suddenly came in this way, saying that it was stealing money.In addition, the EU has taken a step in the tariff issue, and tolerated Trump's tariff "chantage", and now the other side has moved forward, and the EU knows that it can't go back again.
As for why Trump did this, on the one hand because he was reluctant to defeat China in a tariff war and wanted to recover from his allies; on the other hand, it was discovered that his “coercion diplomacy” had a rich harvest.
In fact, just one month after Trump took office, he announced that he would suspend receiving packages from mainland China and Hong Kong, but withdrew the order the next day. The reason is very simple. The United States cannot afford the consequences of decoupling from Chinese manufacturing.
And at the moment, after several rounds of negotiations, the tariff quota on China-US mutual tariffs has been suspended at 10%, which means that the tariffs on U.S. packages will also increase by 10%, which is also the most distressing point for the EU and South Korea, these U.S. allies.
Sino-US Game
Today, China is taking the lead in resisting, and Trump only dares to accept a benchmark tariff, and it is still reciprocal. Allies do their best to please, but the tariffs imposed by the United States are even higher, and they have to exempt themselves from taxes.
In particular, Trump's approach is obviously to continue to use tariffs to harvest the wealth of countries around the world. If these American allies no longer join hands and stand with China, their pockets will be emptied by Trump sooner or later.
And countries like this rebellion, the pressure comes to the Trump side, global logistics has been very developed, as a superpower of the United States, will be excluded because of tariffs?
So, these days are actually very difficult for Trump, but in my opinion, he is afraid that he will carry out the order.
Trump has made a choice.
First, he needs to show toughness to his allies in order to maintain this "blackmail game"; second, it is no longer shameful for him to change orders. When he finds that the situation is not right, he immediately stops the order, and the European Union does not dare to really turn its face.
However, this one-off trial, coercion, pressure, profit, damage will be the heart of the people, the more Trump is the wind and rain, the more firmly all countries will resist hegemony, the determination to develop independently, this is also China's long-standing claim.
It can be said that Trump, who has no scruples and is bent on making money, is the most difficult opponent China has encountered, but equally, the United States he leads has also freed up many opportunities for China.
When the spiritual leaders of the West no longer have the style of leaders, but turn into extremely dangerous wolves, countries will naturally find ways to find other ways to contribute to the collapse of hegemony.
