Didn't expect the US to play dirty! Just a moment ago, our vice minister of commerce had gone to the US for trade negotiations with the US, but unexpectedly, Trump immediately instructed the EU to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods! On September 10th, according to foreign media reports, an American official and an EU diplomat revealed that on Tuesday (September 9th), President Trump urged EU officials to impose tariffs as high as 100% on Chinese goods as part of a strategy to pressure Russian President Putin.
The EU diplomats said that the US has hinted that if the EU adopts the US's request, the US is also willing to impose similar tariffs. The diplomats said: Their meaning basically is, we will do it, but you have to do it with us. It is obviously clear to us what the US is doing, which is the US's intention to jointly impose second tariff bullying on us with Europe.
What does this indicate? This indicates that the US government has no integrity at all, and it keeps swinging back and forth on the tariff issue to achieve various purposes. Of course, regarding the US's underhanded actions, our position is very clear, and we will never accept tariff bullying. If Europe intends to cooperate with the US, we will certainly take countermeasures against Europe, and Europe should think carefully about the consequences.
We will not only make equivalent countermeasures against Europe, but further countermeasures mean that Europe might not be able to get even a gram of rare earths. The impact of rare earth control, the US and EU can evaluate themselves. After the September 3rd military parade, we have already conveyed a very clear message to the outside world, that any country should not think of bullying us, and such an era has passed forever. China has sufficient strength to safeguard its own interests.
