As the military parade on September 3 approaches, Trump, who is in the White House, can no longer maintain his original calm attitude.
At such a critical moment, he decided to take the initiative and throw a loud word at China, hoping that this seemingly powerful “airfield” could play a deterrent role.
But the result is not as he imagined, for this threat, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country gave a solemn and concise response, although only 14 words, but Trump listened to the ear, but it was particularly harsh.
So, what did Trump, who has already been “Hi O’Connor Poor,” really say about it?
According to the information released by the White House, Trump plans to meet with the new President of Poland, Karol Navratsky, on the 3rd of September, in full conflict with the "93" parade in time, which is also seen by the outside as a signal of his explicit refusal to attend the celebration.
Since the previous China-US third round of economic and trade talks did not make substantial progress, U.S. rare-earth stocks have approached the "end". plus the days of the "93" parade are getting closer and closer, the eyes of the whole world are focused on China, Trump is really "surprising".
When South Korean President Lee Jae-ming visited the United States a few days ago, Trump publicly stated in front of him and a number of media that if China did not ensure the supply of rare earth magnets to the United States, the United States would impose a 200% tariff on China related products.
It is not difficult to infer from Trump's threatening remarks that he has run out of tricks for my country to strengthen rare earth export controls. He is just trying to talk quickly and rely on tough words to make the final struggle.
In the face of the Trump administration's "tariff threat", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded with a very concise statement at the regular press conference on August 26th.
China has clarified its position on tariffs several times.
These short 14 words demonstrate our calm attitude.
Then someone may ask, what was our position on tariffs before?
To sum up, it can be said in one sentence: we oppose unilateral bullying, defend multilateral trade rules, adhere to equal dialogue, and at the same time emphasize the principle of "not willing to fight but not afraid to fight."
You know, among so many countries in the world, there are not many countries that can be so tough in the face of the "tariff stick" of the United States, and our country is one of the most prominent ones.
Moreover, in the game between China and the United States over the past six months, our country has also proved with practical actions that the way the United States wants to promote hegemony in the world is not feasible.
We have long seen through these little tricks and small thoughts that Trump is accustomed to.
In February this year, the Trump administration took the lead in launching an attack on the grounds of the "fentanyl issue" and began to impose tariffs on our country's goods.
Naturally, we are not used to him, and we impose the same tariffs on American goods to counter them.
At the most intense time of the "tariff war", the Trump administration once increased the total tariff rate on China's US goods to 145%, but what is the result? after three rounds of economic and trade negotiations, they did not eventually lower the surplus tariffs.
This time, Trump threatened to impose a 200% tariff on our rare earth products, which is a joke.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the "rare earth game" between China and the United States is still in a fierce stage.
U.S. stocks of rare earth have come to an end, military and industrial enterprises such as the F-35 fighter aircraft production line have faced stagnation, a large number of car companies have been forced to stop production, Tesla has considered to move the engine production line to China, in order to avoid rare earth control.
Although there are certain reserves of rare earth mineral resources in the United States, their industrial chain is not complete, especially in the processing process is highly dependent on our country, which also leads to the fact that although they have "rice in their pockets", they lack a "smart woman" who can cook.
In short, China's strengthened controls on rare-earth exports are a heavy blow to many American industries.
Of course, the controls are subject to controls, but that only applies to the seven categories of medium-sized rare earths, and does not completely disrupt trade andins limited exports of rare earths for civilian needs.
Per someone will ask, why not directly cut off the trade of rare-earth with the United States, preferring to maintain this condition of limited exports?
After all, my country has the world's largest reserve of rare earths and is also the largest exporter of rare earths.
At present, the control of rare earth exports has been strengthened, and the international supply of rare earth is insufficient, inevitably forming a phenomenon of "rare to expensive", and the price of rare earth will naturally rise.
Taking advantage of this monopoly, we sell rare earths to the United States at a high price, which can be regarded as a considerable amount of income.
Moreover, our export of rare earths to the United States is just like the United States exports chips to us. Although we are strictly controlled, we cannot completely cut off this trade line at once.
Because once the supply is cut off, the United States can only invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to study rare earth technology on its own. Once they form a complete industrial chain, my country's advantages in rare earths will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the best way at present is to cut off the rare earth raw materials used in military manufacturing and only sell some rare earths from civilian industries. In this way, the United States will not devote all its attention to rare earth research and development.
This is also our practice of "using his way to repay his body".
Everyone knows that the United States has always been in the chip field of our "neck", and even joined the Netherlands, Japan and other countries to ban the export of high-end light engraving machines to us and build technological barriers.
So that the enterprises and researchers in our country are sufficiently competitive to independently conduct chip research and development, coupled with the "rare-earth restriction order" to counteract, ultimately forced the Trump administration to loosen chip export controls on our country.
Although it is said to be relaxed, the NVIDIA "H20" chip, which was approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce to sell to China, is only a performance degradation.
The United States still holds those high-end chips tightly in its hands, just wanting to rely on the downgraded version of the "H20" chips to hang us and hinder our independent research and development process in the chip field.
We naturally see this conspiracy at once, and therefore follow this practice, with limited exports of relatively less important civilian rare lands.
To this day, the "tariff war" between China and the United States has been eased, but it does not mean that it has ended.
As long as the United States does not give up its ambition to promote hegemony, it will not give up its hostility to our country altogether.
Whether it is tariffs or chips, it is the Trump administration's attempt to "pinch" us, but we have defused this crisis with our strong heritage and national cohesion.
We don’t know what kind of tricks Trump will do in the future, but one thing is certain: the more they try to force us to surrender by such lowly means, the stronger our resistance will be.
