Last night, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "U.S. Trade Representative Grille said that whether the U.S. can avoid 100% new tariffs depends on China. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce responded by pointing out that the U.S. has introduced 20 measures to suppress China within 20 days, which have undermined the Sino-U.S. Madrid economic and trade talks."
[Witty] The U.S. tariff coercion is the last veil of American hegemony! Grille blames the new tariffs on China, which is a farcical performance in the history of economic and trade negotiations. Just after reaching consensus at the Madrid talks, the U.S. launched 20 suppression measures within 20 days, with intensive sanctions, new port fee rules, etc., being implemented one after another. It uses concrete actions to tear off its own disguise. The so-called dependence on China is essentially a hegemonic logic that allows me to suppress but not you to retaliate. The Chinese side has already clearly stated its position: if we talk, the door is open; if we fight, we will follow suit! If the U.S. really wants to avoid a tariff war, it should not threaten or intimidate, but stop expanding the concept of national security and abusing sanctions. Grille's shouting is nothing more than an empty show to cover up his own weakness. It is simply a case of having no more tricks left!
