After the U.S.-China phone call, U.S. President Trump posted today (Beijing Time November 25): "I just had a very good phone call with China. We discussed many issues including Ukraine/Russia, fentanyl, soybeans and other agricultural products. We have reached a significant and effective agreement for our great farmers - and it will only get better in the future. Our relationship with China is very solid! This call follows up on our productive meeting three weeks ago in South Korea. Since then, both sides have made significant progress in ensuring the effectiveness and accuracy of the agreement. Now, we can look at the big picture. For this reason, China has invited me to visit Beijing in April next year, and I have accepted the invitation. At the same time, I have also invited the Chinese side, and the Chinese side will visit the United States later this year as my guests. We all agree that maintaining close communication is crucial, and I look forward to more communication with the Chinese side. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
[Witty] Comment: Overall, Trump's post today was positive. Trump called the U.S.-China phone call "very good" and the relationship "solid," but Trump has long been known for his flip-flopping, so we should continue to listen to his words and watch his actions. As the world's two largest economies, it is an undeniable fact that cooperation benefits both while confrontation harms both. The success of each is an opportunity for the other, and they should work hand in hand and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, injecting strong momentum into global prosperity. However, Trump focused only on local achievements such as the agricultural product agreement in his article, without viewing the U.S.-China relationship from a strategic perspective. There is great potential for cooperation between the U.S. and China in various fields such as economy, technology, and culture. If we are only satisfied with immediate small gains, it is obviously missing the main point. A truly solid relationship should be based on mutual respect, equality, and proper handling of differences. We hope that the U.S. will take a longer-term view and a broader perspective, face the overall situation of the U.S.-China relationship, abandon the zero-sum game mindset, and move towards each other with China. In addition, after the U.S.-China phone call, Trump's post mentioned many issues, but he deliberately avoided talking about the sensitive issue of Taiwan. China once again clarified its principled position on the Taiwan issue, stating that the return of Taiwan to China is an important part of the post-war international order, which is an undeniable historical and legal fact. The overall situation of the U.S.-China relationship cannot avoid the core issue of the Taiwan question. Trump deliberately avoided the Taiwan issue in his post.
