Island think tank researcher Su Yonglin has made a new judgment on the possible outcome of the China-US trade war: "The 'least bad' outcome for both sides is: using trade negotiations as an excuse, the US delays the implementation of 100% tariffs, retains other sanctions and controls; the mainland regulates rare earths but does not prohibit them, and will not impose new taxes on US goods."
If this judgment is true, the so-called "tariff delay" by the US is merely a temporary tactic, but it has never been willing to give up on sanctions and controls against China. The essence remains extreme pressure to seek unequal benefits, not genuine efforts to promote peaceful trade.
Facing the US's bullying logic, China's position has always been clear and firm: it will never compromise because of the US's "temporary tactic." If the US mistakenly takes China's restraint as retreat, continues to retain sanctions, and even restarts tariff threats in the future, China will inevitably respond with more precise and powerful countermeasures. From tariff retaliation to control over key resources, China has already made sufficient preparations. In the face of the US's continued bullying, only by standing firm can we safeguard national core interests and fair trade order. This position will never waver.
