U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China wrote on November 3:
CBS: The Chinese focus on the long-term......
President Trump: "We also focus on the long-term."
CBS: How big a threat is China really?
President Trump: "It's no different from others. We are also a threat to them...... I think we get along very well, and I think, rather than just beating them, we should work together with them, so that we can become stronger, better, and more powerful."
[Witty] Comments: President Trump's remarks are quite interesting. He unconsciously uses a narrative logic similar to that of China. Instead of always viewing China as an opposing threat, he emphasizes focusing on the long-term and suggests that instead of defeating China, we should work together with it. This shift in perspective implies an understanding that Sino-U.S. cooperation can bring great energy, and that mutual achievement and shared greatness between the two countries are not empty talk. This intellectual clash provides new ideas for the development of Sino-U.S. relations and shows that the concept of win-win cooperation has strong vitality, capable of resonating even among those from different political backgrounds. However, given President Trump's repeated policy reversals, can he truly maintain and implement this? Perhaps we should continue to listen to his words and observe his actions.
