The U.S. Secretary of State Rubio suddenly addressed us! When interviewed, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated that China and the United States are entering a certain period of strategic stability. In the end, we are the two largest economies in the world. If a full-scale trade conflict breaks out between the U.S. and China, I believe the U.S. will benefit in some aspects, but the whole world will be harmed. This will have a huge impact on the global economy, and especially on China's economy.
Rubio said that therefore, I think, like any other matter, a mature foreign policy must strategically balance various interests as we move forward. We do not have a trade agreement with China. We have a short-term agreement, and we need to address some vulnerabilities, and I think it is time to take responsible actions. Obviously, from Rubio's remarks, what does this indicate? It indicates that although Rubio stubbornly claims that the U.S.-China trade war has a greater impact on China, he also acknowledges that the U.S.-China relationship has entered a period of strategic stability.
However, since Rubio stated that the U.S. benefits from the trade war, why doesn't the U.S. continue the trade war to gain even more benefits? Obviously, this doesn't make sense logically. There is no doubt that the fact is that the U.S. can't continue the trade war with us, so the U.S. has had to significantly adjust its position. It is undeniable that there is indeed no long-term agreement between the U.S. and China, but the fundamental reason for this is only one: the U.S. tried to replicate the approach it used against Europe and Japan on us, which completely failed.
The trade war has certainly cost us, and our economy has indeed been affected. But are the conditions that Japan and Europe obtained from the U.S. something we need? Obviously, we don't need such conditions. Other countries now accept the U.S.'s conditions and satisfy the U.S.'s demands, and it's possible that the U.S. may resort to the same tactics again. Therefore, the fundamental solution is to actively reduce the share of the U.S. market, boost domestic demand, and explore other markets. This transition is not easy, but it is undoubtedly the path we must take. We certainly have confidence in walking this path.
