On October 29, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China issued an official statement saying that after the agreement of the two sides, the Chinese leaders will meet with Trump in Busan, South Korea, on October 30 local time, to exchange in-depth views on China-US relations and issues of common interest between the two sides.

At present, Trump has successfully arrived in South Korea, and this Sino-US meeting that affects the whole world has entered the countdown.

Trump also released two signals in advance on Air Force One flight to South Korea: on the one hand, he said he expected to lower tariffs on China.

On the other hand, he said he believed that China would help solve the fentanyl problem in the United States and looked forward to direct cooperation between China and U.S. law enforcement agencies. However, he did not disclose too much about specific cooperation details and the extent of tariff reductions.

However, I still hope Trump can figure out that the fentanyl problem in the United States is self-caused, and it really can't be solved by "throwing the pot on China".

China's control efforts on Fentanyl have long been there, and from 2019 onwards it has implemented the Fentanyl-type material whole-class piping policy, from the source of production to business circulation, and then to cross-border exports, the entire chain has built a strict supervision.

In contrast, in the United States, the foundation for domestic opioid abuse has long existed. Fentanyl derivatives through illegal channels are mostly synthesized locally or in surrounding areas. Coupled with loopholes in drug law enforcement and addiction problems at the social level, the situation is out of control.

China has always been actively involved in global anti-drug cooperation, and has also had pragmatic cooperation with the United States, but this is by no means equivalent to the responsibility for the internal governance of the United States.

Trump wants to lower tariffs in exchange for China's "assistance". This logic itself is not equal.

In addition, tariffs are the issue of China-US bilateral trade, which is based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win to adjust; while Fentanyl control is a global co-government issue, China has fulfilled its responsibilities.

In any case, if the United States really wants to solve the problem, it should face up to its internal loopholes rather than using China as a starting point in the game.

Almost at the same time, British media Reuters suddenly broke the news, citing two trade sources as saying that COFCO, a Chinese state-owned enterprise, had completed the purchase of three batches of American soybeans this week.

The total purchase volume is approximately 180,000 tons, and it is expected to be shipped from US Pacific Northwest ports from December to January next year.

If true, this will be the first time China purchases new American soybeans this year, and it is also a symbolic signal in the Sino-American trade game.

In fact, the most direct trigger for China's previous suspension of purchasing U.S. soybeans was Trump's tariff policy.

China¡¯s attitude has always been clear: it is not reluctance to procure, it is not passive cooperation in an unfair trade environment.

If the U.S. can correct its mistakes, remove those unreasonable restrictions, and create an equal and mutually beneficial trade atmosphere, China can buy some U.S. soybeans based on domestic market demand.

China has always regarded mutual benefit and win-win, and never ruled out normal economic and trade exchanges.

At the moment, however, Trump has not disclosed specific details such as the scope and scope of the reduction when referring to the tariffs.

According to the news exposed by the British media, China does not actually purchase much U.S. soybeans. It is estimated that it is more to send a "good faith" signal than to fully resume soybean imports from the United States.

It still depends on the specific situation next. China and the United States have room for negotiation in some areas. It depends on whether Trump can seize the opportunity. At the same time, he still has to be alert to the consistent "capricious" actions of the United States.

In short, the structural differences in the Sino-U.S. relationship still exist for a long time, and it is impossible to solve them thoroughly through one meeting, the key is whether the two sides can take this interaction as an opportunity to reduce confrontation and increase communication.
