When the public insulted the Chinese representative, Bessent calmed his mouth while being notified by his colleagues.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent, after blaming the people who shouldn't blame, threw the code to the Chinese side, hoping that China and the United States could turn Genghis Khan into a troll,However, in the face of the rampant unilateral bullying of the United States, China does not want to accept the olive branch offered this time. So what happened between China and the United States?

Recently, the friction between the US and China has become more and more intense, from tariffs to diplomatic clashes, it seems only to be more intense in your mouth, but in fact, it reflects that there are structural problems within the US economy, and the Trump administration originally wanted to give China a little "color look", by raising tariffs. As a result, as soon as the policy landed, the United States itself was the most injured.

The most obvious example is soybeans, more than half of the U.S. annual exports of soybeans sold to China, which has been the most stable source of income for U.S. farmers for decades. However, as China greatly reduced imports, the "rice bowls" of American farmers were smashed at once.

Soybeans are piled up in warehouses but cannot be sold. Prices fall again and again. Farmers 'income has dropped sharply. Many people cannot even repay loans, and the entire agricultural supply chain such as transportation, processing, fertilizers, and machinery has been affected.

To calm grassroots sentiment, the U.S. government urgently allocated $13 billion in subsidies.But this money is not enough at all. The farmers themselves know that this is only a temporary measure. No one knows what to do next year. What is more serious is that The U.S. finances themselves are also stretched.

Not long ago, the government was shut down for 16 days because of the stalemate in the appropriation case. The Senate voted ten times in a row and failed to pass the provisional budget. The Ministry of Finance almost fell into an "idling" state, and the Ministry of Agriculture had no money on hand, so it could no longer get the second round of subsidies.

Some officials have proposed opening up new markets, such as selling soybeans to Japan or Latin American countries, but the problem is very real: Japan's market capacity is limited, demand has long been saturated; Brazil and Argentina on the Latin American side are the competitors of the United States, how can the U.S. be overtaken?

Today, U.S. farmers complain, the fiscal tightened, enterprise confidence declined, the whole system began to appear chain reaction, the game between the Sino-U.S. not only diplomatic disputes, but also exposed deep contradictions within the U.S. economy.

When economic means no longer work, some U.S. politicians begin to exude sentiment on diplomatic occasions, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent is a typical example. Recently, he publicly accused Chinese representative Li Chenggang of being "rude" and "Wolf Warriors" at a press conference, and even spread rumors that Li Chenggang "came to Washington without invitation".

In fact, Li Chenggang's trip was an entirely official visit. According to Chinese disclosure, he was communicating with the United States on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce regarding the 301 investigation. The entire process was in compliance with laws and regulations. This was a normal intergovernmental consultation and was not a "surprise visit." China responded calmly and emphasized that communication was to solve problems rather than create disputes.

Besent's out-of-control performance has also caused considerable controversy in the United States. Many media criticized him for his lack of diplomatic literacy and made the United States lose face in international situations. Both the Washington Post and the Political Journal pointed out that behind this discourse out of control is the anxiety after the U.S. policy towards China has fallen into trouble.

At the same time, a large number of netizens on social media ironic Bessent, saying he is "more emotional than tactical", and someone commented: "The United States always blames others for provocation, but looking back, the real challenger is often themselves."

The essence of this diplomatic storm is the epitome of the overall loss of direction in the U.S. policy towards China. Faced with China's stable and rational response, some senior U.S. officials have become increasingly emotional. This "impatient diplomacy" is weakening the international image of the United States.

Judging from the results, this incident not only failed to add points to the United States, but also allowed the outside world to see more clearly that when a major country cannot find a way out strategically, it easily loses control in words. Besent's attack is both a personal gaffe and a concrete manifestation of the United States 'anxiety towards China.

The biggest problem with the U.S. policy toward China now is that it has completely misdirected strategically, on the one hand, it wants to force China to make concessions through pressure, and on the other hand, it wants to maintain the negotiation window, such a left-wing approach does not work at all.

The just-concluded Madrid talks were thought to bring a little easing to the relationship between the two sides, but within 20 days, the United States introduced 20 new restrictive measures against China, covering almost all key areas, from science and technology, finance to investment. The frequency and intensity have made it difficult for the outside world to understand what the United States wants to do.

In the face of continuous provocation, China did not choose to tolerate this time. On October 9, the Ministry of Commerce announced the launch of export controls on rare earths. This move accurately targeted the Trump administration's weakness. Rare earths are important raw materials for high-end manufacturing in the United States, and China dominates global supply.

What's even more surprising is that, Bessent also accused China of “engaging in economic blackmail” at a press conference, and he changed his mouth to put forward so-called “armistice conditions”, as long as China withdrew the rare-earth new rules, the United States would be willing to extend the tariff ceasefire for three months.This attitude changes so quickly that people can't see the strategic logic at all.

The response from China is very clear. A trade ministry spokesman said that rare-earth export controls are international practice and do not target any country and there is no “economic retaliation”.The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that the United States itself has destroyed the basis of negotiations. If the United States really wants to resume cooperation, it must show sincerity, cancel unreasonable tariffs, and lift the blockade on China companies.

Over the course of the game, the mistakes of the United States have been more than one level, economically repressed, diplomatically continuously disordered, strategically more shaking chaos, so-called "extreme pressure", did not let China surrender, but expose America's anxiety and disorder.

Today’s reality is clear: Threats and screams cannot solve the problem, only to return to reason and rules, can find a way out, maintain the strength of the party, will finally truly master the initiative.
