Trump sent a letter reminding his loyal allies of the worst intentions he had made to China, reminding them to keep this in mind.On late at night on October 14, Trump tweeted on Truth Social: “We must make the worst intentions to China, remember this – forever.”
Just a few days ago, Trump also vowed to impose a 100% tariff on all Chinese goods, such an extreme proposal instantly triggered a global financial market shock, the three major U.S. stock market indices collapsed, and Wall Street expressed concerns about a trade war with practical actions.
But dramatically, only two days later, he changed his mouth to appease the market, saying that "everything will be fine". This capricious attitude just exposed his inner contradictions and entanglements.
After all, the dependence of the U.S. economy on China has long exceeded imagination. From rare earths needed for cutting-edge weapons to parts for daily consumer goods, the stability of China's supply chain is directly related to the employment of tens of millions of people in the United States and the survival of many industries. If it is true to reach the point of "complete decoupling", the United States itself may be more seriously damaged.
Trump's abacus of trying to win over allies to put pressure on China has not fully started. The "loyal allies" in his mouth are now showing a clear trend of differentiation.
On the one hand, the European Union and some countries in the G7 group followed the United States to boo, and the Netherlands even intervened in the assets of Chinese enterprises, posing a posture of joint confrontation; On the other hand, senior officials of American allies such as Spain and Canada have intensively planned to visit China in the near future, obviously trying to maintain a stable relationship with China, a major economy, from their own interests.
This contradictory move of "taking sides while cooperating pragmatically" just shows that in today's deep integration of globalization, no country is willing to really give up the opportunity of cooperation with China. The "anti-China United front" that Trump wants to build has had irreparable cracks from the very beginning.
In the face of the capriciousness and extreme pressure from the United States, China has always maintained rationality and firmness in its response, demonstrating the strength and demeanor of a major country with practical actions.
In response to the unreasonable tariff policy and chip control of the United States, China decisively strengthened rare earth export controls and imposed equivalent port fees on U.S. -related ships. Every counterattack was precise and powerful, which not only complied with international rules, but also safeguarded the bottom line of its own interests.
More importantly, China's breakthroughs in the field of science and technology have never stopped, the crackdown of the chip bottleneck can be seen, and in the cultural field has gradually freed itself from external dependence, such a hard power has allowed China to have a sufficient backdrop in the game.
China never takes the initiative to stir up disputes, but it is never afraid of any threats. This attitude of "not causing trouble and not afraid of trouble" allows the international community to see the maturity and calmness of a responsible big country.
It is worth noting that Trump's previously hyped S&D talks, in fact, have not been confirmed by the Chinese side from the beginning to the end, more of its unilateral political performance.
China has never opposed dialogue, but insists that dialogue must be based on equality and respect, and cannot be unilateral demands.
The old path that the US wants to force China to make concessions through extreme pressure has long lost its effect, after all, China now has enough strength and spirit to cope with various risks and challenges.
From tariff threats to allied pull-ups, Trump’s series of operations seem aggressive and actually expose his difficulty and confusion in the policy towards China.In this era of deeply bound interests, the zero-sum game thought has long been outdated, and win-win cooperation is the only right choice.
Then the question arises. What impact do you think Trump's statement will ultimately have on Sino-US relations? What final choice will his allies make? Welcome to leave your thoughts in the comment area.
