America has shown its attitude to us again! On April 15th, at the regular press conference, White House Press Secretary Lewitt said: "China needs to reach an agreement with us, we don't have to reach an agreement with them." It is very obvious that after US Treasury Secretary Basen just said that there was "no reason for the economies of the United States and China to go separate ways," and claimed that even if the two economic powers issued tariff threats to each other, it was still possible to "reach a major agreement" at some point, America's position began to waver again.

Why did Lewitt make such a statement? Obviously, this is just America finding a way down for itself. In fact, foreign media keenly discovered that after the United States announced the temporary exemption from some tariffs, China not only did not follow up by canceling the exemption on some American goods, but also demanded that the United States must completely cancel unreasonable tariffs. The response the United States expected from us has not even happened yet, does the United States think we are in a hurry to reach a major agreement with the United States?

In fact, it is the United States that is now getting restless. US Treasury Secretary Yellen came out to say that China will not sell its held US Treasury bonds because it would pose risks to the US Treasury market and global financial stability, and that would be a very serious escalation. Why did Yellen specifically talk about the issue of China selling Treasury bonds when the US debt is plummeting, and why does she believe that this would be a very serious escalation? Obviously, this question should be answered by the United States itself.

Now, America's situation is undoubtedly caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, it faces huge internal and external pressures; on the other hand, it still wants to get enough benefits through threats and extortion, but it finds that we will not give in to the United States. Therefore, America feels very uneasy inside, but it has to pretend to be calm, so its policies are wavering. However, obviously, we don't need to dance to America's rhythm. If the United States wants to extricate itself, it depends on what it plans to do, and we don't have to care about everything the United States does.
