The China-US Summit has ended. This is probably the first time the world has seen it, and Trump's "humility and politeness" in public is really very rare.
According to CCTV news reports, at noon on October 30, local time, the China-US summit ended in 1 hour and 40 minutes.
China has mentioned several words during the talks. For example, if the big ship of Sino-US relations moves forward smoothly, China and the United States can achieve mutual success and prosper together, and China and the United States can jointly demonstrate their responsibilities as major powers and work together to do more big, practical and good things。
China also emphasizes: China's development and revitalization go hand in hand with President Trump's goal of "making America great again"。
During the talks, US President Trump also expressed a lot of praise to China. In the past, his attitude was completely different from that of other leaders, and he used words such as respected, great and honored. He also called China a "long-time old friend". Trump's "low profile" was beyond the imagination of the outside world.
Why is this happening? Why is Trump so solemn about the China-US summit, while Trump is moody about other leaders?
The first and most essential problem is that China's "hard power" is the bottom line, Trump follows "America's priority", and the essence is the jungle law, fearing the strong and bullying the weak.
As the world's second largest economy and the largest trading partner of the United States, China has huge volume and influence.
China-U.S. trade exceeds $600 billion, China controls 80% of the world's rare earth supply, Trump is facing inflationary pressure after taking office, and urgently needs China's "Sunshine" to stabilize the supply chain.
Trump can “bite” on “children” like Canada and the EU because they rely on the US market and military aid.
Trump's praise for China is not polite, but sincere-because China is neither humble nor arrogant, it makes Trump feel the "dignity of equal opponents".
Secondly, when the Trump administration subsequently promotes it, it will regard its previous tough stance on China and the series of cooperation reached after the summit as a propaganda for his political achievements. Under the U.S. propaganda machine, Trump will be described as a "win-win".
Therefore, Trump would rather be polite to China in exchange for cooperation between China and the United States, and in return obtain a trade agreement to boost U.S. stocks and U.S. bonds, and avoid an economic collapse before the U.S. mid-term elections.
Looking back at Trump's recent meetings with leaders of other countries, the gap is not big.
For example, Trump criticized India's prime minister Modi, the purchase of Russian oil is a "stupid deal". Treating Japanese prime minister High Market early, and the South Korean president Lee in Ming, Trump is also a direct lion open, put forward a variety of harsh conditions, Japan and South Korea side instead have to respond. Trump even in front of the leaders of Canada, Iceland, said he would annex the territory of these countries, asking them to "open a price", this insulting statement, can be seen how crazy Trump.
These events in 2025 further indicate that Trump has only “lowed his head” at China because China’s economic and military strength does not dare to do the next thing. He has been relentless to traditional allies such as Europe and Canada, and has made concessions in exchange for tariff threats and public insults. In contrast, the humility of the Busan meeting is more strategic – respecting the king, and having a consensus! This is not only the special China-US, but also the reality of global diplomacy.
