Turkey is not coming to Beijing to watch the military parade, but he said that it is necessary to get along well with China. At the same time, the Chinese side has made a statement and sent a message to the US side.
It should be noted that his statement about getting along well with China was made in the context of the issue of Chinese students studying abroad.
He pointed out that it is "the right thing" to let Chinese students study in the United States, because being friendly with other countries, especially with nuclear powers, is a good thing.
Here, we must mention Trump's repeated attitude towards China recently.
Firstly, regarding the issue of Chinese students, Trump has repeatedly called for "welcoming Chinese students" on multiple occasions, even proposing to expand the number of Chinese students to 600,000.
However, the reality is full of irony. On one hand, the US government has seemingly friendly statements from Trump, while on the other hand, it has proposed regulations to tighten visa terms for international students.
Secondly, regarding the visit to China, Trump again said that he may visit China soon, but at the same time, he also mentioned rare earth magnets, claiming that if China does not supply rare earth magnets, the US will increase tariffs on China to 200%.
This is obviously his usual negotiation strategy, raising the tone and making harsh threats first, trying to take the initiative before negotiations, using the "carrot and stick" approach to try to make China make concessions in economic and trade areas.
The statement by Trump that he wants to get along well with China is largely not only related to Chinese students, but also has complex motives behind it.
Currently, the US is facing some difficulties in its domestic economy.
For example, in agriculture, American soybeans and other agricultural products rely heavily on the Chinese market, and a large amount of agricultural products need to be exported to China to eliminate inventory and maintain the stability of the agricultural industry. Trump previously called on China to increase its purchase of American soybeans.
In the high-tech industry, some US companies have a dependence on China's supply chain for key raw materials such as rare earth permanent magnets.
Fields such as defense, chips, and clean energy all depend on high-performance magnetic materials, and the US itself cannot quickly complete the industrial chain from rare earth mining to refining and application. This is also why Trump is once again threatening China.
Trump's desire to improve relations with China is mainly to solve these current problems.
However, when the US has needs with China, it has also taken new actions against China in the economic and trade field.
Just two days ago, the US Department of Commerce removed Intel Semiconductor Co., Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor Co., Ltd. in China, and SK Hynix Semiconductor Co., Ltd. from the "Verified End User" authorization list.
The affected companies will have 120 days to apply for and obtain export licenses. In the future, they will approve the application for export licenses, allowing them to operate their existing factories in China, but they do not intend to approve applications for expanding production capacity or upgrading technology in China.
Evidently, this move by the US is targeting China, attempting to block technology exports to China. However, this is not necessarily bad news for China.
But Trump makes unreasonable demands on China, while at the same time continuously takes actions against China and companies closely engaged in economic and trade with China in areas such as economic and trade. This inconsistent behavior casts doubt on the sincerity of Trump's so-called "getting along well."
Regarding the series of statements and actions by the US side, China has always maintained a clear and firm position.
Recently, at a Chinese Culture Festival held in Washington, Ambassador Xie Feng of China to the US made some statements on Sino-US relations.
Xie first pointed out that 80 years ago, China and the United States fought side by side, making significant contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
Now, as the two major economies and permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and the US should work with other countries to maintain world peace and stability. The meaning of this statement is self-evident.
Additionally, China also sent a message to the US: Sino-US confrontation is harmful to both sides, and dialogue and cooperation are what the people of both countries desire.
China's meaning is very clear. In the context of many challenges facing the world, the only real solution for China and the US is to set aside differences and work together. This requires the US to show true sincerity and take concrete actions, ensuring consistency between words and deeds.
