U.S. Chessboard in Predicament: Deepening Cooperation Between Britain, Europe and China Raises Warnings

America's chess moves are getting more and more stuck! As the UK and Europe strengthen their ties with China, America is feeling uneasy! On May 6th, according to AFP reports, while the UK and EU deepen cooperation with China, US Trade Adviser Navarro came out with a warning! Navarro stated that the UK and EU should not deepen trade relations with China just because of the benefits offered by China, as this may complicate tariff negotiations between Washington and London or Brussels.

Navarro claimed that the UK and EU should become dumping grounds for products rejected from being sold to the US. Why does the US suddenly issue warnings to the UK and EU when no negotiations have taken place between China and the US? In short, after the trade war began, the US saw that relations between China, the UK, and the EU were strengthening, and now the US feels very insecure inside.

Recently, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves clearly stated that China is the world's second-largest economy, and it would be foolish not to engage with China. The UK should establish a deeper partnership with China, and the Labour government rejects economic decoupling. Meanwhile, the EU has reached a consensus with us on the negotiation of tariffs for electric vehicles imported from China. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also said that the EU always attaches great importance to its relations with China, and it is crucial to maintain continuity and stability in Sino-European relations under the current circumstances.

Now, the US issues warnings to the UK and EU, but such warnings will not stop the UK and EU from strengthening cooperation with China. In fact, from Trump lowering taxes for countries other than China to 10%, this makes all parties increasingly certain that the US does not have the capital to launch a trade war against all global countries simultaneously. So-called Chinese product dumping in the UK and EU is merely a tactic used by the US to sabotage relations between China and the UK and EU. Undoubtedly, America's chess moves are becoming more and more stagnant. Because by now, the US is increasingly feeling isolated - it is itself that is being isolated.
