Besent: Countries such as the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, and Australia are imitating the US in imposing tariffs on China!
On November 1, Besent, who was still in South Korea, told the media: "Although the US tariff policy is controversial and has caused short-term fluctuations in the world economy, we have established a standard, which is crucial. If other countries do not follow suit, I would be surprised. Chinese exports are flooding into the EU, the UK, Australia, Canada, and Japan, which have already imposed tariffs on Chinese goods or are planning to do so. China is struggling to cope, and I believe it will make changes soon!"
[Clever] The farce of tariff hegemony cannot conceal the anxiety of declining hegemony! Besent's ranting is essentially an arrogant self-congratulation of wrapping unilateral trade bullying into an international standard. The so-called establishment of standards is nothing more than using allies to launch a tariff siege against China, using hegemonic logic to bind global trade rules. The blind following of the EU, UK, Australia, Canada, and Japan seems to form a surrounding, but in reality, it is a blind following of losing strategic autonomy. In the end, it will only harm their own economies. The claim that China is struggling to cope, as stated by Besent, is pure fantasy. The resilience of China's foreign trade is not something that tariff barriers can shake. This farce exposes the weakness of the United States, which is unable to win through fair competition and can only suppress opponents by forming alliances. Those who follow will eventually become stepping stones before the collapse of hegemony!
