Trump has taken a step back and considered reducing tariffs on China, not seeking to destroy China.

China and the United States will hold economic and trade negotiations, and the United States will step back, and trade restrictions on Chinese subsidiaries are being lifted.In the meantime, Trump is saying that he is not seeking to destroy China.

On October 18, high-level Chinese officials held a video call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Basent and Trade Representative Greer. The two sides agreed to hold a new round of economic and trade consultations as soon as possible. The background of this news is precisely the moment when Sino-US relations have experienced drastic fluctuations in the past few weeks. From the US's intensive introduction of 20 restrictive measures against China, to Trump's sudden threat to increase tariffs, to the criticism caused by Besant's gaffe and criticism abroad. People ridicule, even claimed that Li Chenggang's visit to the United States from August 27 to 29 this year was an "uninvited guest" or an "uninvited guest." Besant, who has always been known for his gentleness, blushed, his voice trembled, and he lost his composure.

At the moment, the U.S. high-ranking officials have become softened, and China-US relations have once again emerged as a familiar "first hard after soft" cycle.The seemingly complex change, in fact, is the inevitable choice under interwoven political and economic pressure within the United States.

Trump back the position, the first is China's attitude is very tough, basically no room for compromise concessions, the second is the United States is currently uncompromising, the core is that they are afraid, to know, the supply of rare earth is not industrial efficiency reduction, but the whole of the U.S. high-end industry is directly zero problem. after all, there is no rare earth, the U.S. aircraft is lacking parts, then the entire industrial process of Boeing can still be carried out?

Trump explained,"I hope China buys soybeans and I hope China bans fentanyl. These are very normal things. I don't want them to play tricks on the rare earth metal issue."

To sum up Trump's meaning simply, he hopes to lower tariffs on China in exchange for China's adjustment or change of its position on rare earth export control. At the same time, he hopes that China will purchase American soybeans and make greater efforts to crack down on the problem of fentanyl flowing to the United States.

But the problem is that Trump wants to use reduced tariffs to exchange these cards, the question is, is the reduction of tariffs is not better for the United States? China has never strongly demanded the Trump administration on the tariff issue, even when Trump proposed to impose 100% tariffs, the Chinese side has not responded, nor does it matter, which also means that the tariffs that Trump completed, China has absolutely not taken it as a so-called code, you should add though, add 500% or 1000%, any of which is arbitrary, China is absolutely not concerned.

Therefore, Trump is eager to reduce tariffs on China. In essence, he is afraid to increase them. Just after Trump threatened 100% tariffs to China, the U.S. stock market quickly turned black. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 878.82 points, or 1.9%, the S&P 500 index fell 2.71%, the Nasdaq index fell 3.56%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 6.32%.

The U.S. stock market is in this situation, as a result of Trump’s words, The US stock market panicked before the tax even started to increase。I am afraid that the tariff war a few months ago has given them too deep psychological shadow.

Therefore, the tariff card can scare the EU, but if it is made on China, it is a kick on cotton, there is no deterrence. The so-called "not seeking to destroy China" is a real dilemma that the United States wants to maintain pressure on China and is afraid of counter-measures that will backfire its own economy.

For China, the tariff issue is just a small point. What China cares more about is the issue of generosity.

The so-called general problem is that the United States has always adhered to a hegemonic thinking in treating China, and is used to unilateral sanctions, tariff barriers, and political smear to suppress China. During this period, China has always taken "mutual respect and equal dialogue" as its bottom line, while the United States has successively introduced 20 suppression measures, including including Chinese enterprises in the entity list and implementing shipbuilding tariffs, trying to contain China's development from military, economic, technological, financial and other aspects.

Internationally, it is necessary to isolate the influence of China's manufacturing industry chain. On the issue of China's reunification, we must set obstacles to China to curb the rise of China. In terms of science and technology, we must curb China's competition with the United States in the AI technology industry. These are the general issues that the United States needs to reflect on.

The United States has been in all directions to contain China's rise, and why hope to reduce tariffs to exchange China for concessions in rare earth? rare earth is the gateway to many industries such as U.S. military, semiconductor, automotive manufacturing, there is no stable supply of rare earth, many factories can only temporarily stop production, in fact, if from mineral mining, to rare earth refining and rare earth equipment manufacturing, China's control of rare earth is not just 90%, but directly reached 100%. after all, some countries have mining technology, but no refining technology, even if there is refining technology, but equipment must also be imported from China.

Therefore, at present, China has completely mastered the industrial neck of the western world by itself. We all know that China resolutely opposes U.S. trade bullying, in fact, is defending China's development rights and interests, and fighting the U.S. "control" attempt, why does China release this core thing from supply to you to contain me?

The United States is accustomed to engaging in diplomacy from a position of strength, and China also starts from a position of strength to let the United States recognize the new international reality and put aside its hegemonic mentality. The real winner is never the one who has a stiff mouth and a louder throat than anyone else, but the one who holds the trump card but is good at planning.

as The foreign ministry responded that China's position has never changed, doing business is mutually beneficial and win-win, coercion and repression are not working.China's phrase "The United States is not qualified to say in front of China, you speak with China from a strong position" is still applicable today, and the gold content is increasingly high.

The century-old negotiating table between China and the United States is now a transposition of offensive and defensive positions! Trump should accept the reality that China is on an equal footing with the United States, and then, on this basis, change its way and strategy of treating China, and treat Sino-US relations from a rational perspective. If the United States can't accept China's rise, it will suppress China everywhere, make sincere concessions involving China's core interests, and make a sincere choice to live in peace with China. It wants both China and refuses to face up to the core issues. I'm afraid it's a miscalculation.
