Princess Six knows everything, but she just doesn't say it.
Today, the new round of Sino-US economic and trade talks was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The talks started at 11:15 a.m. and lasted about two hours. At 1:30 p.m., the Chinese delegation left. U.S. Treasury Secretary Biden has previously stated that rare earths, soybeans, and fentanyl are the three core concerns for this round of talks. So far, both sides have not announced the results of the talks, and the bullets still need to fly for a while.
This time, the Americans resorted to their old tricks again. Basically, before each bilateral meeting, the U.S. relevant departments and officials always try to do something in order to increase their "leverage" for negotiations. Going back and forth, they always use the same trick, and it's really not tired. This time is no different. Today, during the negotiation, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office hastily announced the resumption of the Section 301 investigation against China yesterday.
Last time, after a lot of effort, the deal was finally reached, but the U.S. Commerce Secretary acted recklessly, forcing China to take strong measures, and now Lutnick hasn't appeared again. This time, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office came out. It's really amazing that one setback didn't lead to any wisdom.
