The public announced the cancellation of the meeting with Russian President Putin, and even after the incident added another phrase "I don't want to waste time!" but to know, not long ago, he just stood in front of the camera, vowing that the meeting will be held as scheduled.
In fact, from Trump's published itinerary, it can be seen that all this is just a diplomatic chess game carefully designed by him. Now, Trump has already devoted himself to the preparations for the meeting with China.
(Trump is about to open up to Asia, followed by visits to Malaysia and Japan, during which time, Trump also plans to meet with the Chinese side)
According to the Observer Network, White House Press Secretary Levitt announced that Trump is about to begin a trip to Asia with the following specific arrangements:
Depart for Malaysia on the evening of October 24th. On October 26th, Trump will meet with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar and attend the working dinner of ASEAN Summit leaders;
On October 27, he met with Japan's new Prime Minister Saami Takashi, and boarded the USS George Washington aircraft carrier deployed at the Yokosuka base. On October 28, Trump met with Saami Takashi, and then met with the Japanese Emperor, focusing on the issue of defense fees. During this period, two generals, Besant and Hegerseth, will also accompany him throughout the entire process;
On October 29, Trump flew to South Korea to meet with President Lee Jae-ming. It is reported that in order to express its sincerity, South Korea is preparing to award it the highest-level medal in South Korea-the "Infinite Flower Medal". It is inlaid with a large number of gemstones and the manufacturing cost of a single piece is about 350,000 yuan.
However, in comparison, Trump's meeting with China was the real highlight of his entire trip to Asia.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization (APEC) summit this year will be held in Qingzhou, South Korea, when high-level officials from many countries will attend the meeting, mainly around trade and investment topics to discuss. and Trump, it is during this period, intends to meet with the Chinese side.
(Regarding the meeting with Trump, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that there is no information available at present)
It should be noted that the reason why Trump is in a hurry to invite China is that some things really can't be delayed.
After all, by November 10, the temporary suspension of tariffs between the two sides will end, which means that the meeting will be the last chance window for the Sino-U.S. trade negotiations, and any mistake can lead to the two countries' relationship to return to the tension in April, and even cause a comprehensive interruption of Sino-U.S. trade.
Trump is clearly aware of the importance of that time node.
The recent series of sanctions against China launched by the United States are exactly the same as the one in April. They are all attempts to force China to compromise on tariff policy through extreme pressure. However, China's countermeasures have long clearly sent a signal: on issues of principle, China will never yield to any pressure.
This is why Trump has to devote himself to preparing before the meeting. After all, whether it is rare earth, soybean trading or fentanyl issues, the United States is in a hurry.
Interestingly, Trump also released the wind in advance, "This Sino-US meeting will definitely achieve good results".
Is that true? Not necessarily!
This can be seen from the Chinese response. Regarding whether to meet Trump or not, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun lightly revealed the past with only nine words-"There is no information to provide".
(On the Taiwan issue, the U.S. think tank suggested that during the Trump meeting, the Chinese side should go along the way.)
Don't look at just a few short words, the truth is tasty, full of information.
First of all, on one hand, there is Trump's urgent invitation, and on the other hand, there is China's calm response. This precisely shows that China has already taken the lead in the Sino-American game, and in some issues, there is no need to bow to anyone!
This position, of course, builds on a series of precise countermeasures in China in recent years.So, this is also in sharp contrast to some countries’ “surprise” of the US president’s visit.
China's recently upgraded rare earth export control policy directly hits the key points of the high-end manufacturing and arms industries in the United States. At the same time, China's insistence on not buying agricultural products such as American soybeans and sorghum has also shaken Trump's political fundamentals.
It is worth mentioning that Trump also started warming up in advance, claiming that the Taiwan Province issue will become one of the core issues. In a statement, the company warned that the United States should “maximumly push China to take the progressive unification and peaceful reunification of Taiwan” in order to avoid involvement in a “unwinning war.”
In summary, the shift in U.S. attitude from confrontation to dialogue, from blockade to coexistence is by no means a coincidence, and is clearly an inevitable response to China's resolute opposition.
