Trump finally showed his bottom card! Our judgment on the U.S. was completely correct! Trump made a new statement, claiming that we may hope all countries "make a choice between us and China". It's very clear what this means, which is that other countries must choose between China and the U.S. These words of Trump were said to other countries, but also to us.

From a certain point of view, this is a signal of "rupture". From a historical perspective, the last time the U.S. required countries to clearly take sides was during the Cold War, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union were adversaries. Now Trump has shown his bottom card, which could very well mean that Trump will push the Sino-U.S. game relationship to an unprecedentedly tense level due to the trade war. And the fact again proves that our judgment on the U.S. was completely correct.

This judgment is that the U.S. essentially wants to contain us. However, although Trump requires countries to take sides, today's U.S. is not the U.S. of the Cold War era. During the Cold War, objectively speaking, the U.S. economy was booming, and countries enjoyed great benefits by deepening relations with the U.S. and jointly promoting globalization. But now? Now the U.S. is beating its allies and urgently demanding things from them, becoming increasingly unreliable.

In this situation, if the U.S. demands that countries get closer to it, any country would likely shudder inwardly. Compared to the U.S., we are doing the exact opposite. The stability and continuity of our policies far exceed those of the U.S., and we are continuously advancing globalization and supporting free trade, from which all countries will benefit. Which side to cooperate with for greater development, countries can easily judge. As the saying goes, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," the situation for the U.S. has undoubtedly changed.
