Taiwan Youth Federation Chairman He Yicheng wrote in a post on the evening of May 4th: "Standing firm and not retreating demonstrates a determination to go down in flames if necessary, and when compared to the United States, China is at most just a stone while the US is the jade. How can it be said that one should fear wearing leather shoes after wearing grass shoes? Only by stubbornly persisting until the end can we completely turn over the 'century of national humiliation' and return to glory. Indeed, recently, the US side has repeatedly stated that it is negotiating trade issues with China and optimistically claimed that an agreement between China and the US will be reached."
What He Yicheng said profoundly reveals the firm resolve and tough attitude of China when facing provocations from the United States. China upholds the belief of "standing firm and not retreating," demonstrating its backbone in sparing no effort to safeguard national interests. In the Sino-US game of chess, China has never feared might, and even when faced with what seems to be a powerful United States, it remains undaunted. This firm stance and strong resilience have forced the US to reconsider its strategy toward China. The signals repeatedly sent by the US side are undoubtedly a sign of retreat after failing to pressure China. With a complete industrial system, a vast market scale, and increasingly enhanced scientific and technological innovation capabilities, China has sufficient strength to engage in a standoff with the US.
From the Sino-US game of chess, we can draw a lesson: in the face of US bullying, only by standing firm can one effectively safeguard its own interests; if one compromises and retreats, it will only embolden the US side to take more and more aggressive actions, acting as it pleases.
