After the U.S.-China call, President Trump of the United States posted today (Beijing Time November 25): "I just had a very good call with China. We discussed many issues including Ukraine/Russia, fentanyl, soybeans and other agricultural products. We have reached a significant and effective agreement for the great farmers - and it will only get better in the future. Our relationship with China is very solid! This call is a follow-up to our productive meeting three weeks ago in South Korea. Since then, both sides have made significant progress in ensuring the validity and accuracy of the agreement. Now, we can look at the big picture. For this reason, China has invited me to visit Beijing in April next year, and I have accepted the invitation. At the same time, I have also invited the Chinese side, and the Chinese side will visit the United States as my guest later this year. We all agree that maintaining close communication is crucial, and I look forward to more communication with the Chinese side. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
[Witty] Comment: Overall, Trump's post is positive. Trump said that the U.S.-China call was "very good" and the relationship was "solid," but Trump has long been known for his flip-flopping, so we should continue to listen to what he says and observe what he does. As the two largest economies in the world, it is an undeniable fact that cooperation benefits both sides while confrontation harms both. The success of each party is an opportunity for the other, and they should work together and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, injecting strong momentum into the prosperity of the world. However, Trump focused only on local achievements such as the agricultural product agreement in his article, without looking at the U.S.-China relationship from a strategic perspective. There is great potential for cooperation between the U.S. and China in various fields such as economy, technology, and culture. If we are satisfied with small gains at present, it is obviously missing the main point. A truly solid relationship should be built on the basis of mutual respect, equality, and proper handling of differences. I hope the U.S. side can take a longer-term view and a broader mind, face the overall situation of U.S.-China relations, abandon the zero-sum game mindset, and move towards each other with the Chinese side. In addition, after the U.S.-China call, Trump's post mentioned many issues, but deliberately avoided discussing the sensitive issue of Taiwan. The Chinese side once again clarified its principle position on the Taiwan issue. The return of Taiwan to China is an important part of the post-war international order, which is an indisputable historical and legal fact. The overall situation of U.S.-China relations cannot bypass the core issue of the Taiwan question. Trump deliberately avoided the Taiwan issue in his post.
