American Treasury Secretary Becson said that China is a tough opponent, and the Sino-US agreement has not been reached yet! On July 31, American Treasury Secretary Becson stated that the trade agreement negotiations between the United States and China have entered the final stage, and we are close to signing the agreement, but the Chinese side still needs to determine some technical details. Becson said that the Chinese side is a very strong negotiating opponent, but our side will not give in. I believe we can end the negotiations, but it cannot be determined with 100% certainty at present.
Evidently, Becson suddenly made this statement, what does it mean? Simply put, this is essentially an indirect admission that the Sino-US talks have not been resolved, and we have refused to accept the conditions offered by the United States. The US attitude is that although China refuses to accept these conditions, the US will not compromise. The US believes that we can ultimately reach an agreement. However, from our perspective, the so-called "we are close to signing the agreement" may actually mean that there is a great distance between the Sino-US agreement being signed.
Seeing the conditions that the US has set for the EU, Japan, and South Korea, the US clearly wants to replicate them on us. However, such an unequal agreement, we will never sign with the US, and the US can't even dream of it. If the US had dealt with us in an equal and respectful manner, the Sino-US talks would have been completed long ago, and it would not have resulted in no progress after three rounds of Sino-US negotiations. The US has huge demands, and if the US makes any concessions to us, it can only be out of necessity. Therefore, if the US does not offer us substantive conditions, we are 100% certain that the agreement will not be reached.
