Trump: "I don't want to destroy China"
American Trump told Fox News last night (Beijing time on the evening of October 19) that he "doesn't want to destroy China," and pointed out that he imposed "tens of billions of dollars" in tariffs during his first term. Trump said that the new tariffs are now equivalent to 155% to 157%, and said that the Chinese side is willing to reach an agreement. He plans to meet with the Chinese side in South Korea two weeks later.
[Witty] Comment: Trump is not unwilling to destroy China, but he is unable to destroy it. Trump's argument of "not wanting to destroy China" is just a ridiculous mouth show. He loudly promotes the "tens of billions of dollars" in tariffs imposed in his first term, but selectively ignores that this is like a double-edged sword, which has also severely damaged the US economy. Shouting about the tariff skyrocketing to 155% to 157% further highlights his short-sightedness and incompetence in economic measures. He attempts to pressure China into compliance through tariffs, but it is actually a sign of his desperation and inability to come up with effective strategies towards China. The meeting in South Korea two weeks later is just another political performance trick he often uses, and it will inevitably end in failure, just like before, once again turning into TACO.
