On October 27, the Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported: "The Shanghai Bund Conference opened. Tan Sen, chairman of the US-China Business Council, said yesterday that Trump instigated the trade war, causing the current dilemma. For Trump, if he wants to reach a very good agreement with China, he must go back to before the trade war. This statement exposed Trump's hypocrisy. He once actively started the trade war, imposed tariffs, blocked chips, and encircled Chinese enterprises. Now he wants China's rare earths and hopes for soybean orders, but is unwilling to face the harm caused by the trade war to both sides. The Chinese negotiation strategy has changed, no longer passively responding, but taking countermeasures to grasp the initiative. If Trump really wants a good agreement, he must show sincerity and completely abandon the unilateral sanctions mindset. Otherwise, even more negotiations will be difficult to achieve substantial breakthroughs!"
[Cunning] Trump's so-called good agreement is nothing more than a hegemonic logic that only demands without paying. Tan Sen's direct statement to return to the situation before the trade war tore off the rhetorical disguise of Trump's so-called good agreement. This is not negotiation at all; it is clearly the calculation of a hegemon - once actively raising the tariff baton, using chip blockades to strangle Chinese enterprises, and personally destroying the win-win economic and trade pattern. Now, however, he wants to get something for nothing, wanting to secure rare earths for the supply chain and hope for soybean exports, but avoiding any discussion of the wounds caused by the trade war. China is no longer the passive side that just responds. The upgrading of equal countermeasures demonstrates the initiative. If Trump still holds the mindset of demanding without paying, and refuses to abandon unilateral sanctions, then even more negotiations would be in vain. The so-called good agreement is nothing more than an illusion of self-deception, and the dream of wishful thinking may be shattered this week!
