China gives Trump no face: China and the US have not talked about tariff issues, and all the messages from the US are fake!
In recent times, the US has repeatedly stated that China and the US are negotiating, "there is a possibility of reaching an agreement", and Trump has hinted many times that China and the US are in dialogue "every day". In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry made a direct statement today: all these are fake news. The two countries have not had any consultations on tariff issues, let alone reached any agreement.
In other words, the US has been releasing "smoke screens" during this period, but it has not interfered with China's judgment. Our position on the tariff war remains consistent. If Trump wants to negotiate, the door is always open. If he wants to fight, we will see it through to the end. Since the door is now closed, it indicates that the recent remarks by the US government about "Sino-US negotiations" are just for show, and they do not yet have the sincerity to talk with China.
Therefore, Trump has underestimated China's determination to see the tariff war through to the end. Our attitude is clear: the US tariff policy cannot be used as a bargaining chip in Sino-US negotiations, and Trump should give up this idea.
