The US Treasury Secretary Bassett once again called out to us, hoping we would sit at the negotiation table! On April 27th, when Bassett was interviewed, he said, once again, I believe that China will see that this high level of tariffs is "unsustainable" for their business model. The time frame for reaching a trade agreement with China is "several months", but the "good behavior" of other countries involved in the negotiations can make tariffs no longer remain at a high level.
Bassett claimed, I think there is a way. The first path is to ease the situation, and I believe China must do so. Clearly, from Bassett's call, his words imply that he wants us to sit at the negotiation table. Bassett undoubtedly hopes that we will take the initiative to ease the situation and show "good behavior" to the United States, in order to exchange for the reduction of US tariffs.
However, we need to remind this US Treasury Secretary that China has made its position clear twice, and there has been no judgment between China and the US. The so-called time frame for reaching a trade agreement with China being "several months" is simply non-existent. If the US still intends to treat us through extortion, we can tell the US that it will never see us sit at the negotiation table.
In fact, if the US believes that we are bound to compromise, shouldn't the US be calm and wait for this to happen? The result is that the US has repeatedly called out to us, and even fabricated false information about Sino-US negotiations. It can be seen that since the trade war began, the US has become more restless, less patient, and less confident. The US expects that such "good behavior" will not happen, and to break the deadlock of the trade war, the US only has one way, which is to cancel unreasonable and malicious tariffs!
