USA is getting angry! Because of our firm stance towards the US, our trade representative was named and criticized by the US, and the US made harsh statements against us. On October 16th, according to AFP, US Treasury Secretary Bensont held a press conference stating that we would not allow Beijing to control the global supply chain. Bensont claimed that China's Deputy Minister of Commerce Li Chenggang was "disrespectful" and difficult to deal with during the ongoing trade negotiations.
After four rounds of productive and highly respectful trade negotiations with China, this deputy minister "showed up uninvited" in Washington and issued provocative threats. Bensont said that China's control over rare earths is "against the world," and called for "global" cooperation to counter Beijing's restrictions on rare earth exports, which are crucial to the world economy. We should clearly show our allies that we must work together to fight back, and that is what we will do. However, Bensont still said that although the US could take strong retaliatory measures, we prefer not to do so.
Evidently, Bensont's remarks clearly show that the US is getting angry. The US's outburst indicates that it has been deeply stung. Bensont publicly named and criticized our Deputy Minister of Commerce, claiming that our trade representative was "disrespectful" and difficult to handle, which precisely shows that our trade representative's arrangements were very appropriate, making the US feel very troublesome. The US should not forget that the US has launched a war against us in the economic field, and the US expects us to accept all the conditions it has proposed without any resistance, signing a treaty under duress? That is impossible.
What does it mean that our deputy minister came uninvited? Without the US's approval, would our deputy minister have visited the US after visiting Canada in August? The US has launched a tariff war against the entire world, yet now it wants the entire world to unite against China, which sounds extremely ridiculous. We have clearly stated that both China and the US should conduct talks on the basis of equality and respect. Bensont's public criticism shows that the US lacks basic respect for us and also lacks the dignity expected of a major power. A compliment from an opponent is the highest honor. The US's domineering attitude should be tempered!
