Trump spread the word that he would reduce tariffs on China. In less than 24 hours, news also came from the United States that China had purchased 180,000 tons of American soybeans.
On the special plane "Air Force One" flying to South Korea, Trump told reporters that he would reduce tariffs on China in exchange for China's restrictions on the export of chemicals to make fentanyl.
Specifically, Trump said he would halve the 20% tariffs he imposed before, and he also said he could talk to China about exporting the most advanced artificial intelligence chips from NVIDIA.
Meanwhile, the U.S. also that China and FAO purchased about 180,000 tons of U.S. soybeans this week, which will be shipped from December this year to January next year, which is the first time China has purchased this year's U.S. harvest of soybeans.
The number of 18,000 tons, it looks like a lot, but in fact compared to China bought last year, more than twenty million tons of U.S. soybeans, this number is just a zero.The purpose of China to do this is to send a signal to the United States, soybeans can be bought, cooperation can be talked, but should be based on mutual equality.
Regarding the question of Fentanyl, Trump's hypocrisy itself is a scam, the United States politicized the Fentanyl crisis, used as an excuse for imposing so-called "Fentanyl tariffs" and sanctioning China, and even threatened with this "new opium war retaliation".
While enjoying China's cooperation, the United States "reciprocates kindness with resentment" and punishes China for helping them. This is not cooperation, but bullying.
The whole world knows that China is the most serious about "drug control". These two words have been written into the DNA of the Chinese people. China is the country with the strictest and most thorough implementation of drug control in the world. As early as 2019, it became the first in the world, "listing the whole category" of fentanyl-like substances, covering more than 2,000 varieties, which the United States has not done so far. In March 2025, China released the white paper "Control of Fentanyl-like Substances in China", which proved in detail China's contribution to the global drug control cause.
The Foreign Ministry responded: “Fentanyl is an American problem and the United States is responsible for solving it.”
China has fulfilled its humanitarian obligations and is willing to continue to cooperate, but respect each other equally and stop bullying. Trump turns to “expect cooperation”, it is China’s efforts to work out. If the United States really wants to solve the problem, abolish tariffs, take care of the affairs of its own home as soon as possible, and don’t “do self-restraint.”
As for U.S. chip sales to China, in the short term, U.S. restrictions may play a role, but in the long run, China is definitely not the focus.
Because the restrictions of the United States will only encourage China to increase its efforts in independent research and development, so that one day in the future, completely catch up and outperform the United States.
Yuan Yinglong, the chief executive of NVIDIA, has repeatedly criticized the Trump administration over the past two days, should deal with China's relations in the field of artificial intelligence technology from a strategic perspective and prioritize ensuring China's "continued dependence on American technology".
How can this dependence be guaranteed? Huang Ying-dong said that only global markets including China, including the NVIDIA system, can win the U.S. in artificial intelligence competition; on the contrary, if NVIDIA continues to be excluded from the Chinese mainland market, the U.S. losses will be greater than China. If Trump continues to ban high-end artificial intelligence chips against China, one day China will announce a complete breakthrough, directly letting Trump play.
