Trump has put forward three conditions, demanding that we agree! On October 20th, according to foreign media reports, Trump told reporters on Sunday (October 19th) on Air Force One that he does not want China and the United States "play the rare earth game," and stated his hope that China would "stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States." Beijing's failure to curb the export of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals has exacerbated the U.S. opioid crisis.
Trump said that rare earth, fentanyl, and soybeans are the top concerns of the United States regarding China, and these three issues are all "very routine demands." Obviously, since Trump has put forward three demands, and as our dealings with the United States are increasingly based on strict reciprocity principles, it is not excessive for us to make three demands to the United States. We can also arbitrarily make three demands to the United States. First, the United States must lower its tariffs on us, at least canceling the 20% fentanyl tariff.
Second, since the United States wants rare earths, the United States' technology control policies must make significant concessions, and the most typical example is the chip industry, aviation engines, etc. Third, the high port fees imposed by the United States on us should also be canceled. Obviously, if the United States wants these things, we will not waste words; this is a deal and a transaction, and it is also a very routine demand of ours to the United States. As for whether the United States can get what it wants, the only option the United States has is to offer something sincere in exchange.
