US attitude has become tough again! The US has made it clear that whether the 100% tariff will take effect depends entirely on China's own actions. We cannot allow China to continue maintaining this system, which enables it to have a veto over the global high-tech supply chain. According to foreign media reports on October 15, US Trade Representative Griles stated that many things depend on China's actions, and it is China that has chosen to escalate the situation sharply.

Griles claimed that we cannot allow China to continue maintaining this system, which enables it to have a veto over the global high-tech supply chain. We still intend to meet with the Chinese side, but whether this meeting will be held as scheduled, I do not want to make any commitments on behalf of us or the Chinese side. Obviously, after we provided appropriate reassurance and showed that the restrictions are not a ban, the US attitude has clearly become tough again.

Evidently, the current attitude taken by the US is that this round of trade war was escalated by us. If China does not want to be taxed, it is best to restrain its behavior. From this, it can be seen that the US completely lacks self-reflection for what it has done, ignores our warnings, and is accustomed to dealing with us through a coercive mindset. From our perspective, what is the point of the US talking about this issue in a roundabout way? Does the US not just want to contain us and treat us like a fat cow to be slaughtered? Is this not the essence of the matter?

The US is making tough statements, but can the US's rare earth industry be self-sufficient? Imposing a 100% tariff is scaring whom? The US previously raised the tariff to 145%, did it not? Up to now, we have not expressed any intention to meet with the US, so the US should not be overly sentimental and repeatedly mention this matter. We are not begging to meet with the US. Obviously, the current Sino-US rivalry is a game of strength. If the US wants to fight, let it fight. Our attitude is to fight until the US wants to talk. The US should stop trying to hardline us and bullying us to gain leverage!
