The global political landscape has been rewritten. The United States may have abandoned the West and intended to embrace China. Why did he make such a choice?
A few days ago, Li Chenggang, international trade negotiator and deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, visited the United States and held talks with relevant officials of the U.S. Treasury Department, the Department of Commerce and the Office of the Trade Representative. During this period, Vice Minister Li Chenggang will also hold talks and exchanges with representatives of the U.S.-China Business Council, the American Chamber of Commerce and relevant U.S. enterprises.
China and the United States are currently in a tariff truce period, during which China and the United States will continue to engage in dialogue in the trade field to seek solutions to Sino-US economic and trade differences. Everyone should note here thatDuring the talks between China and the United States, the atmosphere may not be harmonious and harmonious。 Why is it? Although the Trump administration has previously agreed to extend the tariff truce with China again, making the tariff truce between China and the United States an "unprecedented" 180 days, this is not because Trump has any goodwill towards China, but because Trump can't find a plan enough to target China at present.
Nevertheless, Trump still hopes that China and the United States can reach an agreement that is sufficiently beneficial for the United States.But during the negotiations, China will also fight and ensure its own interests, so that although the current confrontation in the macroeconomic field is not intense, but the negotiations conducted by the two countries are actually a "no-smoke battlefield", the two sides are a bit careless, but it is possible to completely collapse.
Therefore, we can say that the negotiations between China and the United States during the tariff truce period are essentially the decisive game in the tariff war. So now that the decisive game has begun, do you think China can win? In fact, objectively speaking,There is no absolute victory or defeat in the tariff negotiations between China and the United States. The economic and trade between the two countries is two-way. In this case, China and the United States can seek a win-win situation. Everyone can gain their own benefits from this trading systemChina's foreign cooperation has also always adhered to the proposition of win-win cooperation.
The dilemma facing this proposition now is,Trump refused to admit that the decline of the United States was related to the inherent flaws in its own economic structure and the wrong policies of the U.S. government. Instead, he shifted all the responsibility to external trade, which is the root cause of his imposition of tariffs on a large number of countries and regions around the world.This mentality of the United States has led to China and the United States wanting to win-win during trade negotiations, there is no small challenge.In such a case, China can undoubtedly only prioritize ensuring its own interests, and then consider whether it can meet the conditions of the Trump administration.
In this way, disputes between China and the United States will inevitably arise during negotiations. So in the face of the overbearing Trump administration, is there any way for China to deal with their strife? It is undoubtedly possible.First of all, China has top negotiatorsThis is not denied by US Treasury Secretary Bessent, who praised China as a great country, Chinese officials as old-fashioned politicians, and frankly said that the United States has never dealt with a country like China.
Furthermore,China holds three important chips: first, China controls the world's most important rare earth supply chain; second, China is the United States 'largest soybean export customer; third, China can help the United States with the fentanyl issue, which it attaches great importance toChina hand-held these three key codes, coupled with its own economic resilience, is able to and the U.S. wrist and even hold Trump, and also thanks to these key codes, China has successfully played the G2 position in economic trade. recently the United States has eagerly recognized China's G2 status, is equivalent to recognizing that now the established advantages of the West have ceased to exist, the so-called Group of Seven countries that is, the G7 has lost competitiveness, the traditional Western representative of the world's advanced level pattern is being rewritten, the future truly leading the development of the world economy will be China and the United States.
