After the joint statement by China and the US, Trump claimed that the relationship between China and the US had been fully reset! On May 13th, Trump said that the Geneva talks were very friendly and the relations between the two countries were excellent. We are not trying to harm China; the "serious" damage they are suffering is severe, their factories are closing down, there are "many disturbances," and they are very happy to cooperate with us. The relations between the two countries are very, very good.
Not only that, Trump stated that he believed they really wanted this agreement. We might have a high-level phone call! To be honest, although Trump's speech contained many false pieces of information, such as the claim that China was suffering "serious" damage and there were "many disturbances," it can be seen that Trump seems to feel a sense of relief after reaching substantial results with China.
Experts have expressed that the achievements made between China and the US far exceeded expectations because Trump could no longer hold his ground. The U.S. is about to face an empty shelf issue, and the debt problem is also significant. This does not even take into account the increasingly strict rare earth controls we have implemented, which have affected the U.S. Therefore, the U.S. has taken a significant step back, and we are going along with the flow.
For us, the good news is that the trade war has significantly cooled down, but the bad news is that the U.S. still imposed a 30% tariff on us. Whether the relationship between China and the U.S. has been completely reset and whether the U.S. is being friendly towards us, we know clearly in our hearts. We cannot forget the damage that has already occurred to the relationship between China and the U.S. The relationship between China and the U.S. can become friendlier, but this depends on whether the U.S. is truly willing to coexist and mutually benefit with us.
