US media admits both sides have misjudged in the China-US trade war: how does China accurately counter-attack the US?

After the U.S. had to cool down the trade war, American media claimed that if there is one thing the tariff drama between the U.S. and China has taught us, it is how easily these two world powers misjudge each other's strengths and weaknesses. On May 18th, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, American media believed that both sides of this trade war had misjudged each other. Trump frequently underestimated China's determination to counteract every round of tariff actions he initiated, and later often had to retreat due to market and economic pressures.

Meanwhile, China "misjudged" America as using fentanyl merely as an excuse for the trade war, missing out on dialogue with the U.S.! What do we think about this argument from American media? To be honest, it is undoubtedly certain that the U.S. has misjudged us. They never expected that we would stand firm and resolutely retaliate against the U.S. If we misjudged the U.S., that would be very absurd.

On the issue of fentanyl, we have not misjudged the U.S. at all. Fentanyl is first and foremost an American problem. Moreover, if the U.S. wants to solve the fentanyl issue, it should do more to strengthen cooperation with China, so what does this have to do with tariffs? Does the U.S. have a fentanyl problem with Europe, Japan? Does the U.S. have a fentanyl problem with South Korea, Australia, India, the UK, etc.? Why then did the U.S. impose tariffs on these countries?

In fact, fentanyl is just an excuse for the U.S. to launch a trade war. Because we fully understood America's motives and knew that Trump would inevitably cause trouble over tariff issues after taking office, we made adequate preparations for America's trade war in advance. We were able to accurately strike America's soft spots with countermeasures such as rare earth elements. Although the trade war has eased somewhat now, we will not let our guard down. Because we are very clear that the U.S. has yet to accept coexistence with us.
