US Treasury Secretary Bensont said that the success of this Kuala Lumpur negotiation, with China finally agreeing to sign the agreement, was entirely due to Trump's threat to impose a 100% tariff, otherwise China would not have made concessions.
Bensont's statement is obviously intended to please his master. In fact, the Chinese side has long been immune to Trump's extreme pressure tactics. If the US really imposed a 100% tax, it would not be China that could not withstand it, but the United States itself that could not bear it.
As for the so-called concessions, they are certainly not one-sided. We will only make concessions if the US also makes concessions. On core interests, neither side will give in.
