According to foreign media and analysis by many senior experts in the international field, the reason why Trump dares to repeatedly change his mind about China unscrupulously is mainly because he knows China too well. He makes full use of China's goodwill that is unwilling to "turn against" to maximize the achievement. The purpose he wants. This so-called savvy use of human nature to do business is reasonable, but when it comes to governing the country, it seems to have no bottom line or sincerity.
In the final analysis, we have thoroughly understood China's goodwill that we are unwilling to easily break the dialogue situation.
Like during the 2019 Sino-U.S. economic and trade consultation, the Chinese side to promote the negotiation process, actively expand the scale of energy imports, but Trump turned to announce the implementation of a comprehensive ban on Huawei, this kind of smart route, used to negotiate and negotiate the price may still be confused, can be put to the level of governing the country, it turns out to have neither the bottom line nor the lack of sincerity.
Ironically, his chief economic adviser, Kudlow, was able to say “China will make concessions in order to avoid conflict,” this perception of the other party’s goodwill as weak, living away from the international diplomacy as a price-pressure game in its own business field.
Meanwhile, China and the United States just signed the first phase of the economic and trade agreement in Washington, China promised to expand purchases in agricultural products, energy and other fields, and the agreement could be signed in less than six months, Trump in June announced tariffs on $11 billion worth of Chinese products.
But Chinese companies to fulfill the agreement, relying on the inadequate production capacity caused by the drought in the U.S. corn production area, the Panama Canal congestion pushed high logistics costs, in the first half of 2020 imported 20 million tons of U.S. soybeans, the same growth of 16%, but Trump does not eat "and is expensive" this set.
This manner of treating China’s concessions as weak and deceitful, and the practice of putting the “massive step” in the marketplace into the diplomatic field, completely exposes its short-sighted political calculation.
His so-called "intelligence" is essentially a complete misreading of China's living wisdom, and China's refusal to "turn its face" is never afraid, but it is clear that the game of great powers is long-term perseverance rather than temporary intention - just as in the South China Sea issue, China always handles disputes through dialogue and consultation, even if the United States frequently sends aircraft provocations, but also adheres to the principle of "controlling differences, joint development".
On the DPRK nuclear issue, it is more to hold on to the pressure of all parties to promote the six-party talks, inject positive energy for regional stability, but Trump is willing to take this restraint as an opportunity, today just stipulated scientific and technological cooperation projects, tomorrow can be stopped on the basis of "national security"; on this side just received the order of the Chinese side to purchase US LNG, and then busy with joint allies to do "chip ban".
International exchanges are about reciprocity and respect, not even the former Secretary of State of the United States Kissinger can look at it, warning that "repeating unusual negotiation skills will destroy the credibility that the United States has built in 70 years."
This is indeed the case. At the UN General Assembly in 2020, more than 120 countries jointly opposed the unilateral trade policy of the United States. This isolation and helplessness is the direct result of Trump's overdraft of national credibility.
More ridiculously, he always felt that he has grasped the bottom line of the Chinese side, but has not understood that good intentions are mutual, and the Chinese side is willing to maintain the channel of dialogue, in order to maintain global economic and trade stability, but this does not mean that there will be no bottom line of compromise.
When Trump announced an increase in tariffs on Chinese products this year, China immediately took countermeasures and imposed a 25% tariff on agricultural products such as soybeans and corn in the United States, which directly led to the data of the United States Department of Agriculture showing that the net income of American farmers dropped by 15% year-on-year, and the backlog of soybean stocks reached a record high.
Those bargaining chips he thought could hold China turned out to be tools to shoot himself in the foot. The president of the American Farmers Association once took 120 farmers' representatives to the White House to protest, but Trump said lightly that "the government will provide subsidies", completely ignoring that the subsidy funds ultimately came from taxpayers' pockets.
More absurdly, he banned U.S. companies from supplying to Huawei, and complained that China did not buy U.S. agricultural products, this contradictory approach, which is half the pattern of the leaders of the great powers?
To use the "use of humanity" of business to govern the country, it is itself reversed, the shopping mall may be robbed to earn money quickly, but on the international stage, the credibility of the country once lost is difficult to recover.
In history, Britain lost its global hegemony even if it won World War II because of its treachery during colonial expansion; The credibility of the United States built by the Marshall Plan during the Cold War was also exhausted by Trump's "America First" policy.
Trump thinks he can extract more profits from “repeated rumors” but doesn’t realize that this dishonest behavior has caused America’s confidence in its allies to collapse – German Prime Minister Angela Merkel has openly said that “we can no longer rely entirely on the United States” and French President Macron has called for a “European autonomous defense system.”
The goodwill of the Chinese side has never been without sharpness, but only reluctant to easily expose, as in the Hong Kong National Security Law legislative issue, even if the United States imposes general pressure, the Chinese side remains firm in safeguarding national sovereignty, and this principle issue of non-concession is the best response to Trump's "limit pressure" strategy.
You say that this way of doing diplomacy as a business, in the end is to calculate others, or to dig yourself?
