From China's export control of rare earth elements, which has strangled the neck of the United States, to rumors that Chinese airlines refuse to accept Boeing aircraft, putting Boeing at risk of losing the Chinese market, Trump 2.0's tariff war against China has already backfired on the United States. This outcome can only be described as self-inflicted by Trump. Those who are wise adapt to circumstances; if the U.S. does not take the initiative to compromise first, it is impossible to receive a call from Beijing. Can Trump, who can bend but also stretch, understand this?
This viewpoint hits the nail on the head. Trump's tariff war against China has left the U.S. in a predicament of reaping what it has sown. China's export control of rare earth elements directly strikes at key pain points in the U.S.'s high-tech and military industries. If Boeing aircraft are rejected, Boeing's already struggling aviation business will suffer even more.
The U.S. initiated the tariff war in an attempt to suppress China, but China has firmly retaliated with reason, advantage, and moderation, demonstrating its firm determination to safeguard its own interests. If Trump wants to break the deadlock, he should put aside his arrogance and make active changes. After all, in the era of globalization, win-win cooperation is the right path, while one-sided confrontation will only lead further astray on the wrong road, ultimately resulting in hurting oneself.
