Before the US cancels all unreasonable tariffs, we should not negotiate with the US. This time, we must fight this trade war until it hurts the US. Now, the US is negotiating with countries like Japan and South Korea. The goal the US wants to achieve is to take as many benefits as possible from other countries. As long as we firmly refuse to negotiate with the US, the US will indeed be very passive.
Why do I say this? It's actually quite simple. All countries are also watching the situation. If we are weak, other countries will quickly give in to the US. And if we are tough on the US, other countries will also have more confidence to bargain with the US. In such a situation, the US, which is eager for results, is more likely to make concessions. If the US makes concessions to other countries, its concessions in negotiations with us can only be greater, not smaller.
Moreover, strategically speaking, we must view the trade war within the framework of Sino-US strategic competition. The fact is very clear: the US purpose is to contain us, and we have no illusions about this. Therefore, the US will find trouble for us sooner or later. At this moment, this is a good opportunity for us to hurt the US. On one hand, Trump's trade war is unpopular and alienates allies.
On the other hand, Trump is making a series of moves domestically, and there is great opposition within the US. The US is under pressure at home and abroad, so we should take this opportunity to hurt the US. We believe that after this direct confrontation with the US in the field of trade, the US will dare to have any excessive thoughts about us in the future. If the US loses the trade war, it will cause a huge blow to the US's prestige, and the Sino-US strategic competition will also be decided earlier.
