Foreign media reported on November 18 that China purchased at least 14 ships of U.S. soybeans on November 17, which is the largest purchase since January this year, and also the most important purchase after the November 2023 Busan meeting between China and the United States. Even though the price of U.S. soybeans is higher than that of Brazil, China has fulfilled its commitment to the purchase. A Singapore trader said that "this is no longer a gesture of goodwill, but a demonstration of fulfilling the Busan agreement."
The actions of China fully demonstrate the responsibility of a major country: responding to bilateral consensus with actual performance. This large order of 840,000 tons was quickly implemented, and the sincerity of China has always been visible and tangible. In contrast, the U.S. has repeatedly acted inconsistently: shortly after the meeting, it restarted the Section 301 investigation against China, and has continuously exerted unilateral pressure in the areas of the Taiwan Strait and technology, violating the principle of mutual respect.
Sino-U.S. economic and trade stability requires mutual efforts. The goodwill and performance of China should not be ignored. If the U.S. continues to act capriciously and apply extreme pressure, it will only erode the foundation of mutual trust, let the hard-won easing momentum go to waste, and ultimately harm both sides' interests.
