After China succeeded, Trump spoke again after our Foreign Ministry released the video "Not Kneeling" to express our position! On May 1st, according to reports by Russia's Sputnik News Agency, Trump said that representatives of the United States and China are negotiating trade deals. One day, I hope a deal will be reached, and we are negotiating with China. Not only that, Trump claimed that he hopes China succeeds and maintains a friendly attitude towards China.
To be honest, at least three sentences in what Trump said are hard to believe. First, Trump said that representatives of the United States and China are negotiating trade deals. Is this true? China has repeatedly stated its position that no negotiations have taken place between China and the United States. Second, Trump said that he hopes China succeeds. If Trump truly hopes for China's success, then why doesn't he treat China as an equal partner and achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes?
Third, Trump said he maintains a friendly attitude toward China. Then, if the U.S. attitude is friendly, why doesn't it cancel unreasonable tariffs? Clearly, after we released the "Not Kneeling" video and firmly expressed our stance, the U.S. seems to be attempting to ease tensions to get us to the negotiation table. However, for us, we are more concerned about what the U.S. is doing. In fact, even if the U.S. takes some actions, we now can't help but raise a big question mark. Of course, we won't easily trust these verbal statements that can change at any moment. If talks are to be held, the U.S. must show sincerity!
