Why is China not a “soft tomato?” and how serious are the consequences for the United States to regard China as a “soft tomato”?
The United States is currently the only superpower in the world, and this is what Trump dares to do to launch the world’s tariff war. However, the United States is now a foreign power mediator, which Trump does not know, even if he knows, and will not admit. Of course, Trump’s prideful character has caused him to make serious misjudgments on many things. For example, after his partners, such as Japan and the European Union, kneeled to Trump, he once again committed a deadly mistake: to regard China as a “soft tomato”!
According to the agreement of the two sides, on 14-17 this month, the Chinese and American representatives will hold talks in Madrid, Spain, which is also the fourth face-to-face meeting of the Chinese and American representatives since this year. In the past three rounds of talks, China hopes to solve its concerns with the United States through dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equal consultation.So why do the U.S. often negotiate?
There is no way, because the existing tariff issues between China and the United States are still pending, the two armies against the barrier, although due to the US side's high "free of war cards" and a temporary ceasefire, but free of war cards will be removed, the result is no more than two: 1 is China and the United States have reached an agreement that can be accepted by each other, officially announced a ceasefire; 2 is the two sides can not negotiate, each other has lost patience, restarted the war! Therefore, for the two countries, despite the fact that the two sides are still in a sharp relative state, negotiations are better than not, and there is hope of resolving the differences and reaching a reconciliation, otherwise the two sides can only conduct a "duel", which is of course a result that both countries are not willing to see.
Obviously, the Sino-U.S. trade issue is still unresolved, only through continuous negotiations to narrow the differences, until the two sides can talk about a mutually acceptable outcome. and the Sino-U.S. current stagnant situation, in fact, shows that the United States is helpless, can not take China, can only patiently continue to talk, otherwise, the United States will not proactively hang on the Chinese side "free card". Also, it is not surprising that compared with the "soft tomatoes" countries such as Japan and South Korea and Europe, China's "hard bone" is mainly reflected in the response to U.S. tariff provocations, taking "soldiers to shut the water off the ground" strong response measures, according to the U.S. "Wall Street Journal" is: China and the U.S. negotiations "only talk not to let."The US media is also funny, now the advantage in China, why do you?
A new round of talks has begun, which is a great opportunity for the two countries to resolve their differences and reach an agreement.But the United States has “falled off the chain” at a critical moment!So what did the United States do before the talks?On the eve of the fourth round of talks, the United States has begun to “do things” again. On September 12, the U.S. Department of Commerce suddenly announced the inclusion of 32 entities in the export control "entity list", of which 23 Chinese enterprises are involved in semiconductors, biotechnology and many other fields.
At the same time, the United States also threatened the G7, the European Union and NATO, demanding that they continue to buy Russian oil as a pretext to impose 100% tariffs on China and India and other countries, while the United States itself "followed". The second is to model the allies, let them imitate the provocation of the United States against China, and increase the pressure on China at the negotiating table.
In addition, every country that has dealt with Trump knows that this is an indispensable "sweet food" before negotiating with other countries, according to the US own media is: without coding start empty branding, with this as the bargaining code for other countries! especially treating "hard bones" countries like China, Trump should more accumulate codes, otherwise what to talk with China? However, this trick appears to be pediatric in China, because the U.S. and its allies are as naive and childish as kindergarten children!So, how can China counter this unbelieving country? the answer is: just, the United States has paid a terrible price!
It is a serious misjudgment that Trump compares China with the “soft bone” countries such as Japan and South Korea and Europe, because he may forget that the opponent he faces is China with “hate news”! The consequences of this are that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s 13th consecutive simulated chip exports to the United States, as well as the U.S. restriction of Chinese integrated circuits into the U.S. market, launched an anti-dumping anti-discrimination investigation. The security warning issued by the Ministry of Commerce to the H20 chip produced from the U.S. is actually not just as simple as a precise counterattack to the U.S., but directly to the “pulmonary tube” of Trump and the U.S. chip enterprises!
Old Rao believes that the United States can get out of the "chip" in terms of pressure on China is not much, especially the Chinese domestic chip can already replace the NVIDIA H20 chip, after overlap with the relevant countermeasures announced by China, which has already meant that the chip export control policy was originally used by Trump to cover China's neck, and now in turn became the Chinese card American neck tool!To know, China annually imports $ 16.3 billion of analogue chips from the United States, accounting for the world market 38%. lack of this market, for U.S. enterprises is the bottom of the salary, the loss is the continued technology research and development funds, the U.S. chip industry in the future what to compete with Chinese counterparts?
Moreover, American farmers have recently stripped of Trump’s skin, and their soybeans are celebrating this year’s rich harvest year, but lack orders from China, the largest customer, which has led to many soybeans only turning from wherever to become fertilizer.At the same time, other key products such as food and energy in the United States are also caught outside the doorway of the Chinese market, which is Trump’s deadliest soft rib. In this context, Trump also wants to play with China the trick of "blank card making", no doubt these cards in China's hands, are all deadly "defeat knives"! unless Trump does not want to win the next year's midterm elections, otherwise he will not even kneel down on China and have to bow down.Recently, some U.S. media said that the U.S. House of Representatives a delegation composed of two-party lawmakers is planning a visit to China, which indicates what?
