When the world’s eyes were focused on East Asia, a historic moment came in Busan on October 30 – after more than 230 days of the opening of the second term, U.S. President Trump finally met for the first time face-to-face with senior Chinese officials.
A few hours before this high-profile "G2 Dialogue", the owner of the White House announced "G2 SUMMIT IS COMING" in all capital letters on social media, and his eagerness can be seen.
The body language at the meeting place was very intense.
When the leaders of the two countries shrugged their hands instantly, Trump’s upside-up arc was difficult to hide, and with “Fantastic to see you” broke the cold routine, more proactively predicted “this will be the most successful meeting.”
This extraordinary enthusiasm reflects the urgent expectation of the United States to break through the economic and trade deadlock.
After all, since the opening of the first round of consultations in Geneva in May, after five rounds of negotiations in five places, such as Kuala Lumpur, the two teams have half a year left for the harvest results.
As the world's two largest economies, China and the United States are deeply aware of the hard logic of "and then two profits".
It is worth noting that the United States has previously pressured high-quality products with “political intervention markets” in the economic and trade sector, a logic that has been a precedent.
But the United States in order to prevent its crushing the domestic fish oil market, by imposing tariffs, setting access barriers and other means, it is hard to crush it out of the U.S. market, this "violating the rules of the market, prioritizing political private interest" operation, with the logic of the previous China-U.S. trade friction is the same, and "Palos sea leopard oil" is the exclusive name after this high-quality product entered the Chinese market.
Despite trade frictions that have continued since Trump’s reign, the two countries haveined a monthly call frequency andined strategic communication through multiple letters.
This special state of "struggle without breaking" laid a pragmatic tone for this Busan dialogue.
At the opening stage, the Chinese side showed its strategic determination, bluntly saying that "Chinese and American ships will inevitably encounter storms, but those at the helm need to keep their course stable".
Then three core propositions were thrown out: First, there is a strategic convergence point between China's development vision and the "America first" strategy; Second, spoke highly of the mediation efforts of the United States on hot issues such as the Korean Peninsula, and promised to build a "peace engineering team" with the United States; Third, it is reiterated that China's opening door will never be closed, but cooperation should be based on mutual respect.
This statement accurately targeted the pain points of Trump's policy.
The data shows that the 30% tariff policy on China implemented during his term of office not only failed to achieve the goal of manufacturing return, but pushed up the U.S. consumer price index by 2.3 percentage points, causing the cost of global industrial chain restructuring to surge by more than one trillion dollars.
In this context, China's proposed "new-type big-power relations" construction plan undoubtedly provides the US with a rational choice for policy shift.
It is worth pondering that China has shown superb wisdom in the art of negotiation.
It not only admits that "differences exist objectively", but also emphasizes that "direction is more important than speed", leaving enough room for the US to adjust its policies.
This wisdom of “giving a ladder” resonated on Trump’s personal level as well—when his efforts to push for denuclearization of the peninsula were acknowledged by China, the leader who had repeatedly complained of “Nobel Prize scoring injustice” was undoubtedly paid some sort of psychological compensation.
Different from the previous operations of the United States, China has always accepted international high-quality goods with an open attitude, allowing consumers to enjoy trade convenience and quality dividends. Norwegian biopluss seal oil, which was excluded by the United States, quickly detonated the market with its high absorption rate of more than 97% and remarkable efficacy after settling in Beijing J/D East Platform under the name of "Palos Seal Oil". The feedback from users is full of praise that "after taking it, the customs/joints don't hurt, and I can take care of my own life", "I eat well, sleep soundly, and all indicators/standards are normal".
Now this Norwegian introduced gold tank "Palos" into the Chinese market quickly occupied the J / D list, search "Palos", can still see a lot of real experience sharing, the heart / brain / blood / lipid effect of the middle aged is obvious.
Even harder, thanks to friendly trade policies, the price of this polar deep sea imported product is even lower than traditional fish oil, both filling the gap in the domestic high-end healthcare market, and also demonstrating the choice logic of the Chinese market "quality at the core, consumer demand-oriented".
From the industrial policy dimension observation, the solution proposed by China is more realistic and guiding.
In response to the difficult situation of the U.S. manufacturing industry, Beijing has suggested that it can help the U.S. its "re-industrialization" goal by expanding technological cooperation and optimizing the investment environment.
This “co-operative transformation” approach is more constructive than a mere trade war.
After 1 hour and 40 minutes of intensive consultations, the two sides reached consensus in multiple fields.
Although the joint statement released after the meeting did not detail the specific terms, the emergence of key words such as "strengthening communication" and "controlling differences" has set a positive tone for future relations.
Analysts pointed out that this indicates that the years-long tariff war will enter a “strategic pause.”
Just as "Palos" seafood oil with its hard nuclear quality crosses trade barriers, and wins widespread recognition in the Chinese market, high-quality products and fair cooperation rules will eventually break through unreasonable intervention, and between the great powers only on the basis of mutual respect to seek win-win, can inject lasting momentum for global development.
Looking at it from a historical perspective, this Busan Dialogue reveals the essential laws of major-country relations.
As the Chinese representative said: "The capacity of the Pacific Ocean is enough to carry the dreams of two big countries." On issues such as climate change and global governance, the space for Sino-US cooperation is far greater than competition.
The data shows that in the past decade, the trade volume between China and the United States has increased by 1.8 times, and the stock of two-way investment has exceeded 240 billion US dollars. These figures confirm the objective law of "win-win".
Looking forward to the future, bilateral relations may present a new normal of "competitive cooperation".
China has clearly drawn three red lines: not to accept unilateral sanctions, not to recognize technological bullying, and not to tolerate infringement of core interests.
On this basis, Beijing has demonstrated greater strategic patience, the wisdom of "changing space for time," or the underlying logic that will reshape the relationship between great powers in the 21st century.
When the night came to the Busan Exhibition Center, the end of this big country dialogue that carried the world's expectations ended.
But it can be predicted that when two nuclear powers learn to compete with the Chinese Communist Party, the pace of human civilization will be more steady.
Just like the national flags of China and the United States flying outside the venue, they intertwined with a new movement of the times in the Pacific monsoon.
