Trump must be in a very bad mood, not expecting us to deliver such a Christmas "gift" to the United States! After we imposed sanctions on U.S. defense companies, media outlets from multiple countries, including BBC, Reuters, and AFP in the UK and France, reported on this. These media did not find our countermeasures surprising; what surprised them was that we chose to implement the countermeasures on Christmas Day in the United States.
Evidently, receiving our carefully prepared "Christmas gift," President Trump's mood is definitely not good. Why did we choose this day for the countermeasures? It probably isn't accidental but rather intentional. The message we seem to be sending is that if the U.S. persists in selling weapons to Taiwan and makes issues of the Taiwan question, making us uncomfortable, we will not consider how the U.S. feels at all.
Christmas is a time for family reunions in American society, and President Trump apparently also wanted to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Meanwhile, executives from U.S. defense companies should have been enjoying their holidays in resort areas. Undoubtedly, implementing the countermeasures at this time would upset them and disrupt their good mood. However, why should U.S. politicians and arms dealers be allowed to provoke us while comfortably going about their lives and celebrating the holiday as if nothing happened? This kind of countermeasure will surely leave a deep impression on the U.S., but it is entirely self-inflicted by the U.S.
