Rubio's tone has softened, sending a positive signal! On July 11, according to foreign media reports, after meeting with our Foreign Minister Wang Yi, US Secretary of State Rubio stated that I believe the possibility of holding a meeting is high because both sides are willing to hold a meeting. I don't know China's position, but I do know President Trump's position. I can say that President Trump is willing to hold a meeting.

Rubio said that I believe we will consider the date issue and set a date acceptable to both sides. Moreover, Rubio claimed that the working relationship between President Trump of the United States and the top leader of China is very positive. My relationship with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi should also reflect this. Obviously, after the meeting with our Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Rubio's attitude has become significantly less sharp and more moderate.

Rubio frankly said that he would consider the date issue and set a date acceptable to both sides, which indicates that this time the ministerial-level meeting between China and the United States should go well, and it is highly likely that there will be visits at the highest level between the two sides. Rubio claimed that the working relationship between the highest levels of China and the United States is positive, and my working relationship with our foreign minister is also good. We won't say whether this is true or not, but this at least means that Rubio is trying to release some goodwill, intending to ease the Sino-US relations.

Such words that are gentle and have a positive meaning, spoken by Rubio, who has been sanctioned by us, may not be sincere, nor occasional, but must have been authorized by Trump. Obviously, after going head-to-head with us in a direct confrontation, the United States is adjusting its approach to dealing with us. The United States should understand what equality and respect are, at least Rubio's change in attitude proves this.
