Bloomberg reported today (May 17th): US President Donald Trump said that he was willing to visit China to discuss foreign policies and economic issues.
[Wit] Comment: Trump previously visited the Middle East in an attempt to promote US Treasury bonds, but only received a series of investment agreements that were not as advertised. Now, it seems he wants to try the same trick again, attempting to persuade China to increase its holdings of US Treasury bonds. However, our position remains unchanged: if there is dialogue, the door is always open; if there is confrontation, we will certainly stand by. But communication and meetings must happen naturally and effortlessly. Our reduction of US Treasury bonds, increased purchases of gold, and continued restrictions on rare earth exports to the US will undoubtedly put pressure on Trump. In fact, the gap between both sides remains significant. What China demands, the US is unwilling to agree to; what the US values, China cannot accept. Under these circumstances, achieving substantial progress is extremely difficult. However, tearing each other apart is not a wise move for either side.
