On October 9, after China issued a new round of export control policy, Trump overnight "hanged the table", not only the next day announced that it would impose 100% tariffs on China, but also dispatched millions of Chinese goods, but the Chinese embassy did not say a word about it.
According to foreign media reports, the U.S. government, on the grounds of national security, ordered millions of Chinese electronics from the e-commerce platform, on the grounds that these products with camera function can help China "monitor the Americans". The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Carl said that the decommissioned Chinese electronics did not get the FCC's sales license, some products have even been included in the banned list. These devices can not only "monitor the Americans", but also interfere with communication networks, and constitute a "threat" to U.S. national security. This decommissioning is part of the rectification action, the FCC will hold a vote on October 28th, and may tighten controls on Chinese-made communications equipment, retailers need to prepare in advance, to strict
The report also mentioned that last month, the FCC also revoked the certification qualifications of seven testing laboratories held or controlled by the Chinese government on the grounds of national security, restricting the channels for Chinese electronic products to enter the US market from the source. This time, the FCC has further stepped up its efforts and forcibly removed millions of Chinese electronic products, which means that the Sino-US technology war and trade war are facing the risk of escalation. You know, Trump has announced that he will impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods from November 1st, and the average US tariff on China will reach 130%, close to the level of the first round of trade war in April. There is no doubt that this will have a huge impact on the U.S. consumer goods market, and inflation and prices are bound to rise sharply. In order to cope with the possible crisis, it is necessary for the U.S. government to let consumers reduce their dependence on Chinese products in advance, and national security and so-called "surveillance behavior" have become the best excuses for the U.S. government to intimidate consumers.
But surprisingly, the Chinese embassy in the United States did not reject it at the first time, in the face of media inquiries, until October 11, the Chinese embassy has always remained silent. Analysts believe that China's reason to remain silent is because China itself is well prepared to retaliate. Unlike the previous several trade conflicts, this time, the Chinese side is actively striking, in the case of more than a month from the tariff ceasefire, announced new export control measures in advance, involving rare earth, lithium batteries, super hard materials and artificial graphics negative materials, targeting the U.S. AI and military industry.
In the face of China's sudden departure, the Trump administration did not react at all, and soon revealed the bottom line. U.S. Trade Representative Greil said in an interview with Fox News that at the moment the U.S. does not need to fight a trade war with China, but if necessary, the U.S. is also prepared, and he believes the U.S. people are also prepared. But then Greil spoke, saying that the U.S. still wants Sino-U.S. trade to be balanced, which requires China to change "unfair trade behavior".
It is not difficult to see from Greer's speech that the United States does not really want a new trade war with China, nor does the American people be prepared for a new trade war. Trump's proposed increase of 100% tariffs is more like a stone-burning threat, rather than a policy that can be landed. The United States wants China to shake up under the tariff threat, and proactively ask for peace negotiations. But the result was disappointing, China did not mean compromise concessions, even the United States dropped millions of Chinese goods, China is lazy to respond, because China is clear that any response at this time will be seen by the United States as a weak performance, only to firmly pursue export control policy, make the United States really feel the economic pain, can really take lessons from the United States, in order to create a better
