< p > Trump is really at a loss with China! On April 21st local time, he posted on his personal social media, asking those "onlookers" to step forward and jointly deal with China. After failing to receive a response, the US announced additional tariffs on four of China's friendly countries. These four countries are: Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia. < / p >< p >< img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-axegupay5k/03512dd3bbc34c04a5f7192c506263b4~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745895020&x-signature=pHgR%2FoT7mVFTdmKcUMBYR4aTleU%3D" / > < / p >< p > According to Bloomberg reports, these additional tariffs target solar products imported from these four countries. The country facing the highest tariff is Cambodia, as the US stated that due to Cambodia's non-cooperation in accepting American investigations, the tariff on its solar products could reach up to 3500%. < / p >< p > Everyone knows what Trump wants to do? On one hand, the US claims that Chinese solar companies have opened numerous factories in these four countries, indirectly entering the US market, so this move aims to strike at Chinese enterprises. On the other hand, the US wants these four countries to step forward and "stab China in the back." < / p >< p > A few days ago, the data from China Customs revealed that in the first quarter of 2025, ASEAN remained China's largest trading partner, far exceeding the EU and other countries and regions. Trump's logic is: if major ASEAN countries distance themselves from China, then China will have no choice but to compromise with the US. However, Trump will be disappointed; none of these four countries are willing to betray China. < / p >< p > First, let's talk about Vietnam. Amid such US threats, on April 21st, both China and Vietnam officially announced: the two countries will conduct their first joint patrol in the Beibu Gulf waters this year. Although Vietnam is negotiating with Trump regarding tariff issues and indeed exchanging certain conditions in hopes of leniency, it has never and will never sell out China's interests, as the two countries share common interests in many fields, and the Vietnamese leadership does not want their nation to become the "second Philippines." < / p >< p >< img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-6w9my0ksvp/e030dc121d5a432ea4e97ac25ee2c69d~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745895020&x-signature=C2xFC%2FuKiv6dCXa5X7fMs0XpXTo%3D" / > < / p >< p > Next, we talk about Thailand. Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has always been friendly towards China. In February, amidst extremely tense Sino-US relations, she even made a high-profile visit to China and finalized multiple cooperation agreements. After Trump's "reciprocal tariff" policy was introduced, Prayut showed great composure and immediately stated that Thailand would not compromise. Such a woman leader is truly commendable. < / p >< p > As an important country in ASEAN, China has always placed great importance on Malaysia. Recently, China and Malaysia officially signed a mutual visa exemption agreement, which is a significant diplomatic achievement between the two nations. Meanwhile, there are many Malaysian Chinese merchants, and the relationship between the two countries cannot be shaken by the US. < / p >< p > Finally, Cambodia. As a traditional friend of China, on April 18th, China and Cambodia also released a joint statement involving key global projects such as the Cambodia-China railway. At the same time, cooperation in commercial aircraft has already been scheduled. The future of China-Cambodia relations can only get better, leaving Trump no chance. < / p >< p > In summary, Trump has clearly gone into a state of madness. Currently, he faces unprecedented three major pressures: < / p >< p > 1. First, scandals keep emerging among key members of his administration, with a large number of American citizens now demanding the resignation of Defense Secretary Higgenbotham. This makeshift administration will face more problems, and Trump will be busy dealing with them. < / p >< p >< img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-6w9my0ksvp/cb429eec9bb24956981469a7440497bd~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745895020&x-signature=vRlhepIkCFtOUwUrTLchxb%2B80jo%3D" / > < / p >< p > 2. Secondly, US stocks once again experienced a "Black Monday," and the Federal Reserve is unwilling to help Trump at all. Trump wants to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, but various elites are preventing him, so he cannot touch Powell. < / p >< p > 3. Lastly, the time pressure. The deadline for Trump's suspension of "reciprocal tariffs" with over 70 countries is less than 80 days away, but the number of agreements reached so far remains zero, leaving him little time. < / p >< p > Next, we want to see what tricks he still has up his sleeve. At the same time, we hope China's friendly countries can hold firm, as the situation is now very clear - the US cannot win. < / p >< p > Original Source: https://www.toutiao.com/article/7495956951407362579/ < / p >< p > Disclaimer: This article represents the author's personal views.
