On the morning of October 14th, two major events related to the United States occurred in China:

Early in the morning, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce website again posted the content of the reporter's question, with regard to the U.S. want to impose a 100% tariff on China, the attitude of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce is: fight, accompany the end; talk, the door is open.

1. At the same time, China's Ministry of Communications also confirmed that starting from October 14th, China will levy additional fees for American ships calling at Chinese ports. This means that China's Ministry of Communications officially fulfilled the announcement made four days ago from today. The United States spent four days threatening China, but failed to prevent China's Ministry of Communications from doing so.

To know, the United States before the Chinese ships, the Chinese side is a justified counter-reaction, completely according to the rules. Trump estimated that China was so hard, had thought a few words can scare the Chinese side to concessions, the result is not only the mouth is not soft, the counter-measures in the hand is still on time, not a bit of ambiguity.

NATO help? Rutte's abacus cannot be hidden

Here, the smell of gunpowder in the Sino-US trade war has just strengthened, and on the other hand, NATO Secretary-General Rutte jumped out to spoil the situation, reminding 32 member states to "keep an eye on China" in front of everyone. He made up the excuse of the Russia-Ukraine war, saying that China might force Russia to take action against NATO in order to contain NATO's energy. He also described China as the "instigator" behind Russia. This was shocking.

In fact, anyone with discerning eyes can see through Rutte's thoughts, which are nothing more than two calculations. One sum is for money. It wants to force NATO countries to pay more military spending under the pretext of "dealing with China and Russia." After all, they have previously required national defense spending to reach 5% of GDP, and now they are using China as an excuse to urge money.

The other is to help Trump stand on the platform. He realized that Trump would not take advantage in the trade war, and European countries did not want to take sides between China and the United States, so they deliberately discredit China and wanted to force European allies to join the United States in attacking China.

But this countdown goes back and forth, and nobody really does. The European countries are clear in their hearts, business with China can make real gold and silver, followed by the American war and trade war will only lose, nobody wants to be the wrong head. Moreover, China has always persuaded in the Russian-Ukrainian issue to promote peace, never delivered a soldier and a graduate, Luther this black word can not stand.

Trump is overwhelmed: internal and external troubles collide with each other

Rutte can't help, and Trump himself is overwhelmed by a lot of trouble. Now he is facing two big hurdles that he can't get over.

The first one is his own "malicious words"-a 100% tariff will be imposed on China on November 1st. At the beginning, he said this categorically, but now he can't take it back at all. China's attitude here is clear and will never give in. If it really wants to raise taxes, American companies and consumers will bear the brunt, and US stocks and US debt will definitely collapse. But if you don't collect taxes, Trump will become a joke of "not counting what you say". The original support rate is low, and now it has to fall to the bottom.

On the one hand, there is no domestic pay and trouble, and on the other hand, there is a dilemma in the tariff war. Trump may not be able to sleep at this time. Previously, he wanted to use threats to force China to bow, but China responded hard. NATO's help was useless, and it ended up walking the road. Now Trump is stuck in the middle, neither advancing nor retreating. This problem may not be so easy to solve.

The second cane is more difficult, is the domestic government shutdown crisis, to the 14th has been 13 days.It is said that the two parties in the new fiscal year budget broke, Trump wants to cut the medical insurance subsidies supported by the Democratic Party, the Democratic party disagreed, the provisional allocation bill is also stuck without passing, as a result of hundreds of thousands of civil servants unpaid leave, and the worst is the wages of the 1.3 million active U.S. military to be yellow.

October 15th is payday, but the government can't even collect $7 billion in wages. Military families in Texas have lined up to receive relief food in the early morning, and the Navy has been forced to issue "survival guides" to ask soldiers to apply for unemployment benefits.

What is even more embarrassing is that Trump still wants to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Navy. While soldiers are receiving relief, he holds a grand ceremony, which has caused widespread criticism from public opinion. The two commanders of the U.S. military simply resigned directly, saying it was for family reasons. Everyone knew that they were dissatisfied with Trump, and the military's morale had long been unstable.
