Rubio has poured cold water on us! According to a report by CNN on May 2nd, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Trump's tariff measures have harmed China's economy, caused unemployment, and Beijing is eager for negotiations. "China is reaching out, they hope to meet, they hope for dialogue." Not only that, but Rubio also claimed that trade talks "will soon begin."

Clearly, after our Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the "No Kneel" video, firmly expressing our stance of not accepting American bullying and coercion, Rubio is now stepping forward to pour cold water on us. The underlying message in Rubio's words is clear: the trade war has caused "significant" damage to China, and China is almost "unable to bear it." Under such circumstances, China has reportedly already expressed its request for negotiations to the United States.

What do we think about what Rubio said? To be honest, Rubio's remarks only indicate one thing: that the US hopes we will quickly kneel down and beg for mercy. However, the reality is that what the US has encountered from us is our firm countermeasures, and their expectation of our begging for mercy has not happened at all. The so-called trade talks "will soon begin," and the claim that China is reaching out and hoping for meetings and dialogues is merely self-serving talk from the US side.

No negotiations have taken place between China and the US. Even when our finance minister and central bank governor attended the G20-related meeting in the US, we did not hold any formal talks with the US counterparts. Of course, the trade war will have an impact on us, but what effect does it have on the US? Doesn't the US know this themselves? In the face of bullying, the only option is to resist to the end. Rubio's attempt to shake our determination is nothing more than wishful thinking!
