It's really unexpected that the process of easing Sino-US relations has been faster than imagined! The situation is becoming increasingly favorable for us! The US must have also developed a "psychological trauma" from our actions. On December 5th, during the phone call between the chief negotiators of both sides in the Sino-US economic and trade talks, both sides surprisingly agreed that they should continuously extend the list of cooperation and constantly reduce the list of issues, promoting the steady and positive development of Sino-US economic and trade relations. Obviously, the current rhythm of Sino-US relations is indeed in a relatively good state.
Of course, looking back, the reason why Sino-US relations have maintained this state is closely related to our two "table-flipping" actions. First, on April 9th, the US launched a heavy tariff blow, while we responded with equal measures, leaving a shocking impression on the US. Second, when the US continued to engage in small tricks, we escalated the situation by tightening the control over rare earths and retaliated with equal measures again. It is clear that these two deterrent actions against the US have kept its behavior under control and made it more normal.
The US not only postponed the chip regulations to avoid provoking us, but also, when the Sino-Japanese relationship deteriorated sharply, Trump called both Japan and China separately. On one hand, he restrained Japan, and on the other hand, he showed us that the US was not backing up the Japanese minister Kaori Yamauchi's provocation. In a way, our two actions have set boundaries for the US behavior, forcing the US to become more normal. After completing such a layout, the next step is to deal with Japan.
From our grand strategy perspective, the predictability of US behavior is increasing. As for Japan, we now not only need to contain Japanese militarism but also bring Japan back to what we consider a reasonable behavioral boundary. We will not stop until Japan is thoroughly defeated and develops a psychological trauma. If both US and Japanese behaviors become predictable, the Taiwan issue will naturally be resolved. It must be said that the situation is now under our control, and the Taiwan issue is heading towards a natural resolution.
