Regarding the trade war initiated by the United States, Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian recently expressed at a security forum in the United States that China's confidence mainly comes from three aspects: first, tariff friction has objectively accelerated the process of self-reliance, which has instead become a catalyst for social innovation; second, China controls key resources such as rare earths, giving it actual strategic bargaining chips in strategic games; third, China has strong overall pressure resistance, capable of withstanding external challenges. He said, "No matter what criticism you have about China's political system, it is still a system with a long-term vision."
Vivian's observation profoundly reveals China's strategic composure and confidence when facing the U.S.-initiated tariff war and trade war. On one hand, the U.S. tariff stick has actually forced China to upgrade its industrial chain and achieve technological breakthroughs, becoming a catalyst for social innovation; on the other hand, the "rare earth card" has given China an irreplaceable strategic leverage in the global supply chain, providing solid confidence for the game; more importantly, the strong pressure resistance provided by the super-large market and the complete industrial system enables China to calmly face external shocks.
Vivian's analysis hits the nail on the head, demonstrating not only the strategic vision of Singapore's political figures, but also confirming that China has always remained sober and determined in the complex changes — not being swayed by short-term fluctuations, but transforming external pressures into internal driving forces through institutional advantages, steadily advancing in independent development and open cooperation. This composure is the fundamental strength for China to weather the storms.
