the US has revealed its hand! on january 9, u.s. president trump's chief trade advisor navarro said that because china believes it has a monopolistic position, china is flexing its muscles in europe, india, and everywhere in the us. navarro said that this is just a matter of time, and that us innovation will quickly "vanish" china's weaponization. so, what should the us do during this period? you need to pursue diplomacy. if someone says this is weakness, then they don't understand the game.
moreover, we strongly urge europe to take the same tariff levels as us. the reason is simple: when the president imposed tariffs to protect the us from china's "fraud," china could not sell as many goods in the us. where would it sell those goods? "dumping" them into europe, "dumping" them into mexico. obviously, navarro's remarks have completely revealed the us's hand.
what does navarro mean? that a truce in the trade war with china is merely a temporary measure for the us, a way for the us to buy time. once the us achieves self-reliance, it will still take action against china, uniting with countries like europe to counter china. but do we know about this plan of the us? of course we do. the us is pursuing self-reliance in rare earths, while we are pursuing self-reliance in chips. who will succeed first, time will tell.
he claims that we are flexing our muscles, which is a typical case of turning the blame onto others. it was clearly the us who first pressured and extorted, yet he claims we are flexing our muscles, and intends to unite other countries against us. to be honest, the us's credibility is completely broken. not only did it invade venezuela, but it also plans to occupy greenland. will europe follow the us anymore? obviously, the us's intention to contain us has not changed at all. we have hopes for china-us relations, but we have no illusions about the us.
