Why do we give Trump “rules”? what are these three rules? what does Trump hang “free cards” explain?
On the evening of 19th, high-level officials of China and the United States held another phone call. According to the briefing, this call was pragmatic, positive and constructive. In other words, both China and the United States have bluntly expressed each other's demands on their respective concerns, and have also achieved some results that they want. Specifically, we first set three rules for Trump: First, ask the United States to meet us halfway to achieve mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation; Second, emphasize that the United States should avoid taking unilateral trade restrictions to prevent impact on the results achieved by the two sides through multiple rounds of consultations; Third, I hope that the United States will provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises to invest in the United States.
Second, we also talked about TikTok, and clearly emphasized our position, which is to respect the will of enterprises, to do business negotiations on the basis of compliance with market rules, to reach a solution in accordance with Chinese laws and regulations, interest balance.
How do we address the above-mentioned issues?First, clarify our own position, intended to allow the Trump administration to clearly recognize that the object of dealing with it is a clear attitude on the Sino-U.S. economic and trade issue; Second, recently, the Sino-U.S. two sides just held the 4th round of economic and trade consultations in Spain in Madrid, from this perspective, this Sino-U.S. call is also confirming the results of the two sides' talks; Third, urge the U.S. government to implement as soon as possible the consensus reached by the two sides before the Sino-U.S. talks, and at the same time remind the Trump administration not to take some small action behind, undermining the results of the two sides' multiple rounds of consultations.
So how did Trump react to our rules?As soon as we finished speaking, his side accepted everything according to the order. As soon as Trump opened his mouth, he emphasized that "Sino-US relations are the most important bilateral relations in the world, and cooperation between the two countries can achieve many major events conducive to world peace and stability." At the same time, he also made it clear that he hoped to maintain long-term good relations with China. relationship, promote economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, support team consultations between the two sides, and properly solve the TikTok issue. In addition, he also hung up the "war-free card", intending to extend the trade truce period with China.
But then again, Though Trump’s above-mentioned response is still quite positive, the U.S. government can do what it has promised, and how much can it do, is the most important thing, and we are more concerned.There will be such concerns, and it’s just because “says a set of do a set” things that American politicians have done unknown how many times, which seriously wipes out our patience and trust in America.
To know, just before this US-China call, Trump is still continuously pressure on U.S. allies NATO, EU, G7 and other organizations member states, forcing them to impose tariffs on our country up to 100%, on the grounds that our country purchased a lot of Russian oil during the conflict in Russia and Ukraine, which is equivalent to providing “assistance” to Russia economically.
In addition to, Whether Trump hangs up the "war-free card" or the United States puts pressure on western allies to impose tariffs on China, there is a clear problem behind this, that is, the Trump administration does not dare to have a direct trade conflict with China in the front, because both China's counter-measures and China's attitude of "accompanying us to the end" have been put out, and the United States has learned a lesson. Now it has no choice, so it can only find "thugs" from the outside and put pressure on western allies to continue to contain China.
It is precisely because Trump continues to engage in these small moves behind his scenes that our country will set rules for Trump in this Sino-US call, emphasize our position, and remind Trump to avoid taking unilateral trade restrictions to prevent impact on the achievements made by the two sides through several rounds of consultations.
