Trump's foolish moves have continued to cause chaos at home and abroad. Less than a year after taking office, the United States has been greatly weakened. At a critical moment, it once again breached its contract and launched a trade war with China, which was hit by a comprehensive head-on attack. U.S. experts expressed their pessimism: The Trump administration suffered three consecutive defeats at home and abroad, and the losses were unprecedented, further shaking the foundation of the United States.
01. China's heavy blow has taken effect, but the US is incompetent and furiously imposes 100% tariffs
Since the second half of 2025, the strategic game between China and the United States has entered a new round of high-intensity interaction, and the Trump administration has started a new round of "offensive".
After Trump launched an indiscriminate trade war against the whole world in April, at that time, only China was not afraid of the strong enemy, and countered the constant unreasonable superposition of China's tariffs by the United States with a tough stance and corresponding measures. After miscalculating China's tough response and finding that there was a lack of means to counter China, Trump had to bow his head and take the initiative to ask for negotiations and consultations with China. After the Sino-US interaction until the Sino-US Madrid talks in September, the United States began to target China again, and the speed of turning its face was comparable to that of turning over a book.
During the past month, the United States has continuously upgraded restrictions: it has included 37 China companies in the export control list, expanded the coverage of semiconductor "penetration rules", launched a 301 investigation into China's maritime and shipbuilding industries, and implemented export restrictions on key industrial software. This series of actions has been defined by the US media as a "combination punch to curb China's industrial upgrading" and intends to block China's high-end manufacturing process through technical blockade and trade sanctions.
In fact, this method is ridiculous, all previously used tricks, and the actual losses caused by China are actually extremely limited, because China's countermeasures are both accurate and restrained, and directly hit the core pain point of the United States.
On October 9, China's Ministry of Commerce announced the implementation of export controls on 17 key items such as uranium, uranium, rare earth, and more rare earth controls against the United States can be called to hit seven inches.
Even the U.S. media itself said that the current U.S. high-tech weapons do not need to produce rare earth in China, a F-35 will need 417 kilograms of rare earth materials, Ali Burke-class destroyers will need 1.5 tons, the civil industry for rare earth gaps will be greater, but the supply of the most basic American automobile production lines must be stopped.
After China implemented export controls, the inventories of U.S. military industrial companies have bottomed out, and giants such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have urgently submitted supply chain disruption warnings to the Pentagon. In this regard, the incompetent and furious Trump administration just repeated the old tune, threatening to impose an additional 100% tariff on China in November.
In this regard, the U.S. international relations expert Angie Lung in a letter to the U.S. media X said that the U.S. initiative to increase the 100% tariff on China has almost no substantial impact, in April this year will be overlap 245%, the Chinese side has turned back, for the Chinese side is more and more tough, but it is under the counter-measures of the Chinese side, when Trump must not agree to reduce the tariff to 30%, and then negotiate.
Unexpectedly, the United States began to stir again in October. Experts said that this was Trump's usual method of making false cards and intended to seek compromise on China's economic and trade issues with the United States on the eve of the meeting between Chinese and US leaders. However, the problem is that the United States 'means are against China. It does not pose a real threat, but instead allows China to further reciprocate and make Trump embarrassed.
Obviously, without rare earth, the advanced manufacturing, military and new energy industries of the United States will be paralyzed, and even if Trump is now targeting China again, the subsequent must also compromise to remove the tariff threat, in the end it is equivalent to the United States has become a clown, carrying out this unpaid loss, greatly losing international prestige is to move the stone to knock his own feet.
02. Trump suffered a three-game losing streak, US experts: unprecedented
China's countermeasures are not only responses, but also strategic initiatives. Through rare earth controls, China has broken the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States and demonstrated its dominance in key resource areas.
These overlapping measures have reversed China-U.S. aggression: the United States has shifted from offensive to passive response, while China has shifted from defense to limited counterattack.
U.S. experts believe that Trump's arrival in Taiwan is a damaging and selfless thing, the Trump administration has suffered three consecutive defeats at home and abroad for less than a year, the great defeat and loss of history is unprecedented, first of all, the total defeat of the trade war with China that has just been mentioned, and now the Trump administration is not self-sufficient, but will also be forced to accept the demand for merchandise because of the Chinese side's rare-earth supply problem, this is a defeat.
In addition, the Trump administration’s diplomatic trouble has not only been limited to the economic and trade sector, but has also suffered major setbacks in the coordination of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which has been a second defeat.
In the past, he claimed more than once that he "persuaded Putin to accept ceasefire negotiations" and even took time to meet with Putin. However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is still delayed, and Russia's dominant position in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has not changed. Russia has also made it clear that Trump's mediation If it is not in Russia's interests, there will be no truce. The Trump administration has threatened this more than once, but they have all been ignored by Russia. Now the US government has completely become a laughing stock.
China remained neutral in the conflict and enhanced its global influence through diplomatic mediation. This comparison highlights the disorder of American foreign policy, and Trump's "America first" principle is difficult to cope with complex geopolitical challenges.
If economy, trade and diplomacy are Trump's external challenges, then the domestic political polarization in the United States is the fatal injury of his administration. Less than a year after taking office, the U.S. government was shut down, which is three defeats.
03. Trump returns to the White House, retaliation against the Democratic Party further intensifies domestic conflicts
In October, the two-party struggle around the government budget again escalated, taking the opportunity to participate in the two houses in the hands, Trump again against the Democratic party to initiate the ruthless party dispute, the Republican and Democratic parties both speak to prefer the government shutdown and no compromise, this is the first time in the history of the United States in the non-election year appeared in the struggle for the struggle for the shutdown crisis, further aggravated domestic political trouble and party dispute, it can be said that the current contradiction between the two parties in the United States can be said to be far more than any era.
It can be said that the Trump administration's three-game losing streak is unprecedented. The Obama era also experienced a government shutdown, but it is indeed rare for problems in economy, trade, diplomacy, and internal affairs to arise as the current situation.
In the future, the direction of Sino-US relations depends on the choices of both sides. If the United States returns to rationality and resolves differences through equal dialogue, there is still room for discussion. Otherwise, China will continue to respond with countermeasures. Unilateralism and protectionism will eventually harm others and ourselves. The era when the United States had the final say is gone forever.
