Xinhua News Agency's "Lianhe Zaobao" published a commentary by Yang Danxu tonight (August 28): "It is reported that China and the United States will hold a new round of trade negotiations in Washington this week. It is still unknown whether Trump's threat to impose a 200% tariff is a smoke screen. However, both sides are cautiously maneuvering behind the scenes, and the atmosphere for the upcoming negotiations will not be relaxed."
[Witty] A few comments: According to the current situation, it is likely that both sides will continue to negotiate while engaging in some conflict, avoiding a complete breakdown, but also unlikely to achieve significant breakthroughs. Both China and the United States may make symbolic concessions on certain products to stabilize the market. However, Trump's policies are unstable, fluctuating with the election situation and his personal emotions. Trump's proposal of tariff "pieces" is often a way to test pressure and disrupt the rhythm. Therefore, although the atmosphere is tense, both sides should leave room for negotiation and will not easily cut off communication. The "suspension" of 90 days between China and the United States usually sees a critical period of breakthroughs just a few days before the countdown ends.
