We haven't responded yet, and Trump is shouting at us again! Trump stated that our relationship with China is very good. Our relations with almost all countries are very good. Everyone wants to engage with the United States... Ultimately, we have what they want. You must look at it this way. Trump further indicated that ultimately, they must reach an agreement, otherwise they will not be able to conduct transactions in the United States... If they don't reach an agreement, we will be responsible for formulating the agreement.

Obviously, after Trump stated that he would reach an agreement with us within three to four weeks, seeing that we did not respond at all. Trump shouted at us again. In fact, we can clearly see that the actions of the United States are very contradictory. Why do we say so? Firstly, Trump's tone seems to have softened, which appears to be a gesture of goodwill. Secondly, the actions of the United States are actually very tough. These actions include the U.S. Trade Representative's announcement to impose port fees and tariffs on ships and port equipment made in China, targeting our shipbuilding industry.

It also includes imposing extremely high punitive tariffs on our photovoltaic industry in Southeast Asia. Undoubtedly, the United States is using both soft and hard tactics against us now, while the U.S. is very anxious inside, urgently hoping that we quickly get to the negotiation table. From our perspective, do we want to fight a trade war? Of course not. But the problem lies in the fact that although the U.S. is softening its tone, it is actually escalating and intensifying. We can clearly see that Trump's intention is that the United States holds the American consumer market, and China must come to negotiate, which is what is meant by "we have what they want."

It can be seen that the U.S. extortion and blackmail nature has not changed at all. However, after the trade war has been pushed to the extreme, the U.S. has repeatedly shouted at us, but we did not respond. Our indifferent attitude obviously made the U.S. feel restless, and the pressure on Trump is undoubtedly increasing. Now the trade war is stuck in a deadlock, and it depends on who has more resilience and who can hold out longer.
