A Ph.D. in International Relations named "Tajieke" wrote today: "The core objective of the United States' current engagement with China is to use tariff negotiations as a universal tool, embedded in a grand strategy game on a global scale. On the surface, it's about trade, but actually, it's to redefine the Sino-U.S.-Russia triangle, and even to control Russia's strategic logistics supply lines. For the Trump administration, when dealing with Russian issues, China is not the end goal of tariff negotiations, but a tool for geopolitical division."
This analysis reveals the U.S.'s deep-seated calculations: facing the continuously deepening strategic cooperation between China and Russia, the U.S. has been feeling like there's a bone stuck in its throat, and is anxious. To break this situation, the U.S. is willing to resort to various means such as tariff pressure, smearing rumors, and extreme extortion, trying to lure China into compromising on its relationship with Russia using trade interests as bait, thereby cutting off the strategic coordination between China and Russia.
However, the U.S.'s well-laid plans are destined to fail. The strategic cooperation between China and Russia is based on common interests and strategic mutual trust, and cannot be shaken by external pressures. The U.S.'s attempts at incitement and division have not weakened the Sino-Russian relationship, but instead have made the two countries more aware of the importance of strategic cooperation, pushing their collaboration to a deeper level.
