At a critical moment when the Trump administration continues to increase pressure on China, the United States 'Western political allies are also ready to join the U.S. Department of Commerce to take the opportunity to raise tariffs on China. If we think more deeply, we cannot rule out that these countries that have always been "hostile" to China will take this opportunity to launch a tariff "encirclement and suppression" against us. Therefore, the more we come to this time, the more we must be vigilant, and we must not be careless even against some "friendly countries." After all, sometimes the ones that hurt the most are those who "call us brothers" all day long. No, Mexico is a typical example. In order to please the United States and Trump, Mexico does not hesitate to betray China, trying to harm China's legitimate interests in exchange for the United States 'mercy. However, the price of backstabbing China is probably not something Mexico can afford. China has issued three ultimatums in a row, and even a friend of China cannot escape.

At the beginning of September this year, Mexico had already made malicious remarks to China, saying that it would impose tariffs of up to 50% on related products in China, including automobiles, clothing, steel, etc. Although this tax rate doesn't seem much compared with the 100% tariff imposed by the United States on China, this behavior directly reflects the signs that Mexico wants to challenge China. If we allow it to raise taxes on China arbitrarily, it will inevitably encourage their arrogance, and other allies who can't protect the United States will learn from Mexico's actions to put pressure on China, which will cause even greater trouble. Therefore, China must "set an example of chickens and monkeys" now, and Mexico itself has hit the "muzzle of the gun", so don't blame us for being rude.

No, just after China learned that Mexico planned to impose a 50% tariff on China, the Ministry of Commerce immediately countered it, saying that it would investigate Mexico's trade and investment barriers; On the same day, China announced an anti-dumping investigation into pecan nuts imported from Mexico. This is not over yet. In the early morning of the National Day, the Chinese Embassy in Mexico also issued a solemn statement, pointing out the bullying behavior of the United States instigating normal trade between China and Mexico. U.S. officials have previously claimed that Mexico is not allowed to become dependent on China in key technology fields such as semiconductors, and have also threatened to require Mexico to play a key role in "decoupling" from China, which China firmly opposes.

Of course, this statement issued by the Chinese Embassy is not only to urge the United States to respect the normal trade activities between China and other countries, but also to warn Mexico not to fall into the "trap" of the United States. Look at the neighboring Canada and Europe. None of these countries that chose to bow to the Trump administration really won the "forgiveness" of the United States on the tariff issue. On the contrary, after offending China, the domestic economies of these countries began to have problems of one kind or another. Take Canada as an example. After it followed the United States in imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese new energy vehicles, China immediately launched an anti-dumping investigation on Canadian rapeseed. Later, the product was levied a 75.8% deposit by China, which is equivalent to It directly shut out Canadian rapeseed. It's the harvest season for Canadian farmers. Looking at the rapeseed that they can't sell, I wonder how they will feel.

It is not known whether China's three routes worked, or was scared by the current situation in Canada, Mexico has recently changed its mouth, saying that it is necessary to negotiate with China on tariff adjustments and other issues. Other sources have revealed that the previous bill to impose 50% tariffs on China has been suspended by the Mexican parliament, and some MPs have said that such a tariff proposal cannot be adopted.

And after seeing this trend, the Mexican president, who has always been good at speech, can only walk down the stairs, and she starts to emphasize the good relationship between China and Mexico, and explains that the tariffs on China are not compulsory. But as we often say, Mexico can not put these only on the mouth to say that we need to see action. The 90-day tariff buffering period for the United States against Mexico is over by the end of October, if Mexico can not bring out the "results" that please Trump, the United States may impose a 30% tariff on it, that is, from now to the end of the month, everything is still there, and Mexico will not continue to harm China's interests for its own interests, we must not be relieved.
