China-U.S. negotiations began, the United States was in the line with the Hawks, the United States' important figures withdrew, to compromise with China?

At the beginning of the Sino-US negotiations in Kuala Lumpur, China's hawkish representatives to the United States were impressively listed, and an important American figure withdrew from the negotiations. The results of the Sino-US talks have begun to take shape, sending a signal that the United States will compromise with China.

According to CCTV news reports, on the morning of October 25, local time, the economic and trade teams of China and the United States began to hold Sino-US economic and trade consultations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In this negotiation, the two sides will hold consultations on important issues in Sino-US relations in accordance with the important consensus reached by the two heads of state on the phone this year.

According to the information disclosed by the U.S. side, this Kuala Lumpur negotiation, China-U.S. focus will be around rare earth control, agricultural trade, tariffs, science and technology deconnection and sanctions.

The first two are concerned by the United States, the U.S. hopes that China will relax control of the rare earth supply chain, open the market to continue importing agricultural products such as U.S. soybeans, while China will focus on tariffs, science and technology, strive to allow the U.S. side to reduce or cancel tariffs on China, and give up undifferentiated sanctions on Chinese enterprises in science and technology.

If China wants to fight for its own interests through negotiations, it must have a strong negotiating representative.An interesting detail is that the main speakers sent by the United States this time were U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Gerrill, the hard-fought Chinese representative of U.S. Trade Secretary Lutnik, withdrew from this crucial negotiation.

China, on the other hand, is still mainly responsible for the negotiations with the United States by the China-U.S. economic and trade leader and China's Ministry of Commerce's International Trade Negotiations Representative and Deputy Minister Li Zhen Steel.

Not long ago, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent named his surname for criticizing Deputy Secretary Li Zhengzhou's harsh attitude toward the U.S. negotiations, describing him as a "war wolf", and hinting that he was a "low-level trade official."

Under normal circumstances, when the two countries conduct trade negotiations, they will not focus their firepower on the negotiators. Besent rarely named Vice Minister Li Chenggang, which shows that Vice Minister Li Chenggang has indeed performed well in the negotiations, making Besent, an "old flint" who has seen big waves, a little overwhelmed, so he broke his guard and complained publicly.

Some analysts pointed out that Bessent publicly accused the Chinese negotiating representative that there may be a purpose that he does not dare to say explicitly, that is, hoping that China can exclude this anti-Hawaii negotiating representative and talk to the U.S. side for others, so that the U.S. side should compromise a trade agreement with the Chinese side, as a condition for the exchange, the U.S. side also exchanged the negotiating representative against China, U.S. Commerce Minister Lutnik.

However, the wishful thinking of the US side was empty. Instead of inviting Vice Minister Li Chenggang out of the negotiating team, China increased his weight and announced that he would be removed from his concurrent positions as WTO representative, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, and deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, so that he could focus on Sino-US economic and trade negotiations at this stage.

The China-U.S. economic and trade negotiations are now at a "strengthening" moment, and the Chinese side can absolutely not compromise on core interests, and the negotiating representatives of the Hawks are to take the initiative to struggle for the legitimate interests of the Chinese side.

The withdrawal of the U.S. Commerce Secretary, who is hard-line with China, from the negotiations reflects to a certain extent that the U.S. will soften its attitude in order to reach an agreement with China as soon as possible. China is in an advantageous position of "turning defense into attack" during the negotiations, while the U.S. may make major compromises in order to seek a trade truce.

In addition, the negotiations between the Chinese and American delegations in Kuala Lumpur are also preparing for the upcoming meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States. Both sides want to ease the trade war to create a suitable atmosphere for the next major event.
