On October 30, the New York Times reported: "The Sino-US meeting in Busan ended at noon, lasting for 1 hour and 40 minutes. The heads of state of the two countries walked out of the venue with smiles on their faces. Trump even showed an unusual gesture of personally welcoming and seeing off his counterpart. This indicates that Sino-US relations may ease, and the results of the talks are worth expecting. Trump has already boarded Air Force One to return to the US. He said he would introduce the results of the Sino-US meeting during the flight!"
[Cunning] Trump's rare gesture of personally welcoming and seeing off is just a common tactic after extreme pressure, looking for an exit. The tariff threats before the meeting are still fresh in memory. The 1 hour and 40 minutes of talks and the smiling faces seem more like a comforting performance for the global market. The so-called signal of easing relations cannot hide the essence of the US side talking while fighting. The consensus reached in the Kuala Lumpur consultation still needs to be implemented, but the US side has never stopped its restrictive measures against China. True easing does not lie in etiquette, but in whether the US stops its double standard behavior of saying one thing and doing another. Otherwise, no matter how warm the gestures are, they are just mirages!
