German media: Europe should learn from China's strategy towards the US; China's approach in the trade war was highly farsighted.
German media said that China's strategy towards Trump was very farsighted and Europe should learn from China! On May 13, according to the report of Deutsche Welle, a German media outlet published an article stating that by launching a trade war, Trump believed that his unpredictability was a great advantage. He firmly believed that his trading partners and competitors would voluntarily make concessions out of fear of coercion. However, the facts were far from what he expected. China especially did not fall for this.
The German media frankly admitted that compared with Washington, the Chinese government's trade policy was obviously more farsighted, rational, and strategically visionary. China made every effort to counterattack and ultimately achieved the desired results. The German media stated that China's approach provided sufficient inspiration for Europe. So far, Europeans have always behaved in a gentle manner, fearing that they might anger the unpredictable Trump. But China has proven that there are other ways to deal with the United States. Europe can certainly learn and draw on China's approach to dealing with the United States.
Obviously, after China and the United States reached results in the trade war that exceeded external expectations, even the German media, which usually had various opinions about us, had to admit that our way of dealing with the United States was completely correct and believed that Europe could learn from China's approach. To be honest, regarding the trade war alone, China's performance could be said to have far exceeded Europe's expectations in two aspects. First, China was the only country that directly confronted the United States in this trade war, which exceeded Europe's expectations. In fact, China may also be the only country since World War II to directly confront the United States in a trade war.
Secondly, China may also be the only country that engaged in a trade war with the United States and forced the United States to make concessions, significantly reducing the temperature of the trade war, which was also unexpected by Europe. In this trade war, Europe saw our confidence, backbone, and correct judgment of the U.S. behavior pattern. Now that the Sino-U.S. trade war has been greatly eased, Europe undoubtedly hopes to learn from our approach to defend its own interests. With this successful template for responding to American extortion, Europe can now face the United States more calmly.
