Trump once again made remarks to us! On October 19, US President Trump stated that he does not want to destroy China, and pointed out that he imposed billions of dollars in tariffs during his first term. Trump said that the new tariffs are now equivalent to 155% to 157%, and claimed that the Chinese side is willing to reach an agreement. He plans to meet with the Chinese side in South Korea two weeks later.
Evidently, Trump claims that he does not want to destroy China, while at the same time trying to raise the tariff stick to intimidate us. What's the purpose? The purpose is only one, which is to make us make greater concessions at the negotiation table. Frankly speaking, Trump is not unwilling to destroy China, but he simply doesn't have the capability. Previously, Trump raised the tariff to 145%, and what was the result? The result was that Trump waited and waited, but did not get our call, and finally took a step back on his own.
Trump repeatedly uses tariff threats against us, which shows that Trump has run out of ideas and only has this one move left, and the effectiveness of the tariff card is getting worse and worse. Obviously, Trump's focus is to meet with us and reach an agreement. We have not expressed any intention to reach an agreement, nor have we expressed any intention to deny negotiations. In short, whether or not an agreement is reached will be decided by the outcome of the Sino-US negotiations. Before that, the United States must have realized one thing, that it cannot engage in small tricks against us anymore.
