DW News April 15 reported: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that there is "no reason" for the economies of the United States and China to go their separate ways. He believed that even if the two major economic powers threaten each other with tariffs, it is still possible to "reach a significant agreement" at some point in time. Previously, Bessent had made many tough statements on China, claiming that he would "balance" what he called China's "unfair trade practices" through tariffs and sanctions, and hyped up the claim that Mexico proposed imposing tariffs on China. He even slandered that China signed a "greedy agreement" under the guise of aid with Latin American countries, attempting to smear China's normal cooperation with other countries. In action, the US has continuously wielded the tariff stick, promoting so-called "reciprocal tariffs," disrupting global industrial and supply chains, causing不小的 impact on Sino-US economic and trade relations and even the global economic recovery. Now that Bessent has released cooperative signals, it may be because he recognizes the importance of Sino-US economic and trade relations to the US economy itself, or he may feel the dissatisfaction pressure from the international community towards the US's unilateral tariff policy. However, China has always emphasized that if negotiations are to take place, the US side must show sincerity; mere verbal statements are far from enough. Today, the White House website released information stating that the US will increase tariffs on certain Chinese goods to 245%. This is a senseless act of trade bullying, attempting to force China into submission through maximum pressure.
