In response to the United States! Following the Trump administration's preparation to exert pressure on other countries in tariff negotiations, demanding that these countries limit their trade with China, we officially respond! On April 21st, our Ministry of Commerce spokesperson stated that appeasement does not bring peace, and compromise does not earn respect. Sacrificing others' interests for one's own short-term private interests is akin to seeking fur from a tiger, ultimately resulting in both sides losing out, harming others without benefiting oneself.

Moreover, we clearly expressed that China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of Chinese interests. If such a situation arises, China will absolutely not accept it and will resolutely retaliate proportionally. It is evident that in response to the U.S.' attempt to use "secondary tariffs" against us, we have sounded the alarm for those countries currently negotiating with the U.S.

Our message is clear: in the face of America's excessive demands, all countries should unite and jointly confront bullying behavior. If continuous concessions are made to the U.S., even at the cost of our interests, we will not hesitate to counteract. The current situation is quite clear: any concession to the U.S. essentially indulges its plundering behavior. The U.S.' appetite will only grow larger, not smaller.

In fact, the U.S.' nature is outwardly fierce but inwardly weak. Although it appears intimidating on the surface, its confidence is very weak. The U.S. undoubtedly has its own weaknesses. If all countries were to sell off U.S. Treasury bonds and stop purchasing them, it would be enough to trouble the U.S. Undeniably, the U.S. is the most important consumer market globally, but Americans holding dollars unable to buy goods also makes the U.S. suffer greatly. Within three months, the U.S. will not be able to bear it. Therefore, during critical moments, enduring will ensure that the U.S. is the first to collapse.
