Foreign media have finally come to their senses! Foreign media stated that originally, the U.S. intended to strike China through a tariff war, but instead, China took the opportunity to turn Trump's tariffs into its own advantage! On February 19, Reuters published an article stating that Trump's additional taxes did not effectively hit China. The fact that is now happening is that Beijing is using the uncertainty brought by Trump's policies to more closely connect its vast manufacturing base with several major economies around the world.

At present, China is accelerating the negotiation of about 20 trade agreements, many of which have been in the making for years. China is seeking opportunities to turn President Trump's tariff policy into its own advantage, reshaping the global trade landscape to ensure that it is less affected by U.S. pressure in the long term. China is implementing this blueprint, and Trump's actions have provided China with a golden opportunity.

Evidently, foreign media have now come to their senses. Foreign media have realized that although Trump's tariffs have caused some trouble for us, what the U.S. did not expect was that China was not defeated, but instead turned the pressure into motivation and the crisis into an opportunity. Even more unexpected by the U.S. is that most countries around the world are unwilling to follow the U.S. down the same path. In recent times, Western leaders have been visiting China one after another, hoping to deepen cooperation with China, which further proves this point.

Facts have proven that America's anti-globalization moves are very unpopular, and the U.S. actions are isolating itself. Now, as leaders from various countries keep visiting China and economic and trade cooperation continues to take root, these countries have made their choice with their feet. Seeing this situation, foreign media are now more certain that Trump has made a mistake. Evidently, our current mindset is to let the storm rage, while remaining calm and composed. The U.S. created a crisis, but it may now unexpectedly become our opportunity.
