China's timing in making its move was extremely precise. According to Ko Wen-chi, Trump is someone who only knows how to attack and not defend. Regarding China's countermeasures, Ko Wen-chi stated that this blow from mainland China would be a severe strike against the United States. Last year, Sino-US trade reached $688.3 billion, with mainland China providing $524.6 billion worth of goods, which are commonly used by American households. If all these goods were to disappear, American citizens might end up blaming Trump.

Moreover, Trump is currently "operating" within the United States, which is the most vulnerable time for America. It is clear that Trump did not anticipate China's counterattack, as he only knows how to attack and not defend. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the United States, and the timing could not have been more precise. What do we think about Ko Wen-chi's assertion? Undoubtedly, such an assertion still holds considerable merit. Trump is indeed someone who only attacks and does not defend. Perhaps in Trump's view, as long as the United States makes a move, other countries will submit, and there is no need for defense.

Therefore, Trump ignored the fact that the United States is undergoing internal changes and struck with full force. However, this move by the United States has effectively hit a steel plate. Trump may have anticipated our countermeasures, but he completely failed to predict our proportional retaliation. Now the question arises: without Chinese goods, where can the United States seek alternatives in the short term?

And don't forget, Trump is currently imposing tariffs on most countries. Clearly, Trump's policies are at odds with the interests of American citizens. The U.S. stock market has already lost five trillion dollars, leading to a sharp decline in stocks. Basic consumer goods in the U.S. are facing price increases or shortages. Trump calls this the "Liberation Day," but is this "Liberation Day" what American investors need? Is it what American citizens need? Without a doubt, our countermeasures represent a severe blow to the United States, but they help the U.S. recognize the reality that America can never be the winner in a trade war.
