It's such a big contrast! Trump's harsh criticism of Europe, and now he again says that he is maintaining good relations with us. On January 22, Trump said to reporters on Air Force One: I look forward to meeting with the highest level of China, and I have always maintained good relations with China. Trump said that during the pandemic, Sino-US relations were tense, but they have significantly improved since then. China is buying a large amount of American soybeans, which is good news for American farmers.
Moreover, Trump himself stated that he will visit China in April, and China will visit the United States at the end of this year. Frankly speaking, the contrast between how the US treats its European allies and how it treats us is really too big. At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, the Europeans didn't feel even a bit of respect from the US, but when it comes to us, the rival, Trump seems to be very polite.
Of course, we clearly know why Trump is treating us this way. The reasons are two-fold. First, Trump clearly knows our strength, and Sino-US has already had a confrontation. Second, Trump hopes to visit China, hopes to reach a final agreement with China, and the US wants to gain benefits from us. However, from our perspective, the basic principle of Sino-US interaction is equality and respect. Trump expects to visit China, but the US must also show enough sincerity. Whether or not Trump's visit will take place depends on how much the US is willing to move towards us!
