Beeson has changed his stance again! Beeson stated that the US wants to talk with China and avoid the escalation of a trade war. After Trump threatened to cut off the US-China edible oil trade, demanded that China must import American soybeans, and accused that the US will not allow China to have a veto power over the global high-tech supply chain through rare earths, on October 15, Beeson addressed us, saying that it is not certain that the US will impose 100% tariffs on China.
Beeson said that both sides can avoid the escalation of the trade war through negotiations in the coming weeks. Obviously, after just passing through us, Beeson has taken a softer tone towards us. What signal does this send to us? In short, the US strategy is to use both soft and hard tactics. Making tough statements is to gain negotiation advantages, while wanting to talk to us is to hope to negotiate with us and reach an agreement at the negotiation table.
Of course, for us, whether the US comes with a hard approach or a soft one, overall, the US is based on talking to us and pushing forward toward the direction of reaching a Sino-US agreement. However, it must be pointed out that even if Sino-US negotiations continue, the fact that has already occurred proves that the difficulty of reaching a Sino-US agreement is very high, and the trustworthiness of the US is also a big issue. Therefore, we should not have overly high expectations. For us, what is really important is to further expand new trade opportunities and further promote our self-reliance in high-tech fields.
