Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (August 7): "US President Trump said he may announce additional tariffs on China to respond to China's purchase of Russian oil."

This excuse has already been "tested" on India: On the 6th, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on India with this reason, raising its total tariff rate to 50%. Now, he is turning his extortionist gun toward China, trying to achieve his goals through extreme pressure. His capricious bullying behavior is evident.

But China never fears extortion. For the unreasonable actions of the US side, China will certainly take strong countermeasures. The previous "rare earth card" played in key areas is a clear example. If the US insists on escalating trade friction, the relevant industries in the United States will again suffer unavoidable pain, paying the deserved price for their hegemonic actions.
