Trump suddenly softened his tone to China again. On Thursday, when answering reporters' questions at the White House, he said, "I think we will reach a very good agreement with China." He said, "I don't want tariffs to continue to rise, because at a certain point, people just won't buy anymore." He said, "I may want to set the price (tariff) lower." He also expressed that he would delay (the TikTok deal) until things are resolved in some way.
Trump's latest remarks are markedly different in tone from his statement two days ago when he called China a "hostile trading nation". His threats were met with firm resistance from China, and his arrogant attitude suffered a setback and humiliation in the direction of China.
From yesterday's response from China's Ministry of Commerce, it can be seen that the two countries' corresponding departments have maintained communication at the working level, but China's determination to oppose US bullying remains unchanged. The tariff war between China and the United States has basically reached its limit, causing a standstill in bulk trade between the two countries. As a country that prints money on a large scale, the anxiety of the United States facing the manufacturing giant is gradually becoming apparent, especially since China has restricted exports of key minerals to the United States, which has pinched the lifeline of the United States' high-tech industries, including advanced defense industries. Trump's extreme policies have exposed his vulnerabilities, and his ranks are in disarray.
The stalemate between China and the United States continues, but the底气of the United States is broken, making it increasingly difficult to conceal.
