Recently, Hong Kong media "South China Morning Post" quoted insiders, stating that the United States is about to send a high-level business delegation to visit China.

This delegation consists of an impressive lineup, with Raj Subramanian, Chairman of the Board of the US-China Business Council, serving as the leader, and members including executives from major American companies.

From a commercial perspective, these companies are industry giants, and their visit is undoubtedly aimed at seeking more business opportunities in this vast market.

From a political standpoint, such a high-level delegation indicates to some extent the importance that the United States places on this visit to China.

As for the timing, this visit is intriguing. Since April this year, when the Trump administration introduced the "reciprocal tariff" policy, Sino-US trade relations have become tense.

The US sending its highest level business delegation to visit China may be an attempt to create an opportunity to restart dialogue in the commercial field between the two countries.

At the same time, representatives of China and the US are about to hold trade negotiations in Sweden this week. The visit of the US business delegation to China could help create a positive atmosphere for this negotiation or seek cooperation through this negotiation.

Notably, if Boeing sends executives, the significance would be even greater. Boeing has always been an important symbol of American manufacturing and an important player in Sino-US trade.

In recent years, due to trade friction and issues with Boeing's own products, Boeing's market share in China has fluctuated.

If Boeing participates in this visit, it may be an opportunity to improve relations with China, secure more orders, and re-establish its position in the Chinese market.

The visit of the US business delegation to China may also be due to the domestic economic situation in the US.

The "reciprocal tariff" policy of the Trump administration has had a negative impact on the US economy itself, and some American companies that rely on the Chinese market have suffered heavy losses.

In this situation, the US business community hopes to find solutions through communication and cooperation with China, restoring normal order in Sino-US trade relations.

Additionally, Trump recently stated that he will visit China in the near future. The US estimates that this delegation's visit is intended to lay the groundwork for Trump's visit later this year.

It is worth noting that Secretary of State Rubio also stated that he hopes to establish a relationship of mutual respect with China, emphasizing that the US must interact with China to avoid misunderstandings.

However, he also emphasized that the US will stand firm on issues where there are differences, which reflects the contradictory mindset of the US in its China policy.

Evidently, on one hand, the US needs to rely on China's market and cooperation to promote its economic development; on the other hand, some forces within the US, driven by political considerations and Cold War thinking, still attempt to contain China's development.

Furthermore, in the upcoming third round of Sino-US trade negotiations, the US has raised some absurd topics, attempting to force China to include issues such as China's purchase of Russian and Iranian oil into the negotiation agenda.

As a major energy consumer, China's reasonable purchase of Russian and Iranian oil is a normal demand based on its energy security and economic development.

However, the US attempts to interfere, and US Treasury Secretary Becerra even issued threats to China, claiming to impose a 100% "secondary tariff" on countries purchasing sanctioned Russian oil.

The US has long imposed sanctions on Russia and Iran, and this long-arm jurisdiction is unreasonable. Now, trying to use it to restrict China in Sino-US trade negotiations is clearly "making up rules out of thin air."

The reason behind the US doing so reflects its lack of leverage in Sino-US trade negotiations.

In summary, China has always opened its doors for cooperation. In the face of the US's series of actions and potential policy changes, China will remain clear-minded. Matters concerning the core interests of the country, the bottom lines that must be upheld will not be compromised.
