China's warning was completely ignored by the United States! Trump once again mentioned us! On August 5, US President Trump stated that he is prepared to raise tariffs on more Russian energy buyers, including China. Trump claimed that we will do many things in this regard. We will see what happens in the coming short period. Trump also said that he "has never said" a specific percentage for tariffs on Russian trade partners.
Evidently, after we clearly stated that coercion and extortion are not the correct ways to deal with us, the United States has completely ignored our warning. Although Trump spoke with some room for maneuver this time, his intention to coerce us through tariffs is undoubtedly very clear. If Trump raises tariffs again, there will be two most direct consequences.
Firstly, this will render the phased achievements of Sino-US negotiations meaningless. Secondly, it will also make us more determined that the US policy is capricious, which has actually become one of the most real obstacles in Sino-US relations. Of course, whether the US imposes tariffs or not, there is nothing for us to worry about. For us, we are ready to prepare for another round of tariff war, if necessary.
