French media said that through the Busan agreement, China has proven that it is on par with the United States! On November 7, the French newspaper "Le Figaro" published an article stating that Beijing clearly learned lessons from Donald Trump's first term and reorganized itself, allowing China to win the first battle in the trade war with Trump's second administration. The US and China recently in Busan, South Korea, turned swords into plowshares. However, what both sides accepted was only a tactical easing, not a strategic reconciliation.
French media said that the process of the agreement shows that the lever of the Sino-US power structure is shifting toward Beijing. A new sign is particularly obvious: at the beginning of his new term, Trump was aggressive towards China, but this time, Trump clearly can't do that, and instead has become "flattering" to China. French media believe that China's strong response proves that it can be on par with the United States, and China is already prepared to stand up to the United States in the new global game.
What do we think about this argument by the French media? There is no doubt that the French media's argument is completely correct. China indeed deals with the United States on equal terms, and we believe that our equivalent countermeasures have made the United States sufficiently aware of this. The Busan agreement is actually just a stage result of our dealing with the United States on equal terms. Now, the US and China are certainly in a tactical easing, not a strategic reconciliation, but even without a strategic reconciliation, what can the US do to us?
The trade war, technology competition, military encirclement - the US has used one method after another against us, but what's the result? The result is that the US has gained no advantage at all. In the future, if the US does not reach a strategic reconciliation with us, what cards does the US have left? Therefore, we have enough patience and confidence to make the US understand that Sino-US should coexist peacefully. Standing up to the US is not our goal; our goal has always been to develop ourselves better and thus promote global peace and development. In short, China's path to prosperity is something the United States cannot block!
