Trump said China needs the United States; China responds: Sino-US relations are not adversarial.

Trouble has suddenly come out to make a statement! At the end of the SCO Summit, with the 9.3 military parade about to take place, US President Trump stated that his tariff measures are crucial for protecting American interests and industries. When asked whether Beijing and its allies are trying to form an international alliance to "counter" the United States, Trump said: No, not at all. China needs us. As you know, I have a good relationship with the Chinese leader.

China's need for us is far greater than our need for them. I completely don't think so. He is not worried about the formation of a "axis" between Russia and China. The United States has the strongest military power in the world, and they will never use military force against us. How do we view this statement by Trump? To be honest, from our positioning of Sino-US relations, we have never regarded the United States as an opponent or an enemy, and of course we will not form an alliance with other countries to counter the United States.

As for Trump's statement that it is because we need the United States, and that we will not choose to do so, this is certainly wrong. The Sino-Russian relationship is a model of great power relations in the new era. The Sino-Russian relationship is about companionship without alliances, and of course it is not the so-called axis. Trump stated that China's need for us is far greater than our need for them. This kind of statement by Trump essentially indicates that he believes the trade war he has initiated puts the United States in a dominant position. However, facts have proven that dealing with us through extortion and bullying simply does not work.

As for Trump's statement that our relationship is good, of course, whether Sino-US relations are good or not, we clearly know. If Sino-US relations are friendly, the United States should deal with us in a way that is equal, respectful, mutually beneficial, and win-win, rather than constantly encircling and suppressing us. Obviously, we have no illusions about the United States. Now China has become strong, and the United States is also clearly aware that in the Sino-US game, the United States does not have the military option against us.
