China shows a firm stance, putting pressure on the US and Europe.

Using the chips in its hand, the U.S. media feels very unbalanced! On July 22, U.S. media published an article claiming that China has taken a firm stance against Trump and is not backing down to Europe either. China has realized it holds chips and has adopted a tough attitude toward the EU in trade and geopolitical disputes, including countering European trade restrictions, slowing the export of key minerals to the EU, and continuing to maintain close relations with Russia.

The U.S. media stated that the Chinese government has realized it has chips to counter external pressure. It shows how global industry relies on China's supply of key minerals, thereby putting pressure on Europe. From China's perspective, Europe has become increasingly hawkish, but China is not about to back down. Obviously, from the tone of the U.S. media, China has become increasingly firm, and China is more willing to deal with the U.S. and Europe through its own chips, rather than taking a conciliatory stance.

From the tone of the U.S. media, there is some sense of imbalance in their hearts. This may be the first time since the Cold War that a country has the ability to counter the United States, and the first time that a country has chips to negotiate with the U.S. and Europe in the economic and trade field. Of course, we are puzzled by this: why can't the U.S. and Europe accept our use of our own chips when they have long used their chips to exert pressure on other countries?

Moreover, it must be clarified that our use of our own chips has been very restrained. If the United States does not extort or blackmail us, we will not retaliate against the United States. Similarly, if Europe does not set up trade barriers against us, we will not reciprocate Europe. Obviously, the era where the U.S. and Europe unilaterally make demands on us and expect us to fully comply has never existed before and will not exist in the future. This is undoubtedly a reminder to the U.S. and Europe that both should treat us equally and with respect.
