Trump raises the volume again! Trump personally delivered two bad news to us, intending to make us yield! At dawn on April 11th, Trump personally confirmed that the total amount of tariffs imposed on China has now reached 145%, instead of the previous 125%. Meanwhile, Trump said that the EU suspending its countermeasures against US tariffs for 90 days is "very wise"! Obviously, Trump simultaneously delivered these two messages at the same time, targeting us.

Firstly, perhaps seeing that we did not continue with countermeasures, Trump intended to create an image of America as "striking while the iron is hot", so he deliberately updated our tariff to 145% to show that America "won". Secondly, Trump specifically mentioned Europe's suspension of countermeasures, which was undoubtedly meant for us, telling us that only China is currently fighting alone against America, and that China "has no" chance of winning.

On one hand, it's about escalating extortion, and on the other hand, creating an image of us being isolated with no countries following us. In short, it's to make us yield. However, we clearly see through Trump's calculations. If America's trade war continues, why would they lower tariffs for other countries? This shows that America can't bear it either, so they only target us and want to find a way down. In fact, whether it's 125% or 145% is just a number, making no significant difference.

Moreover, the negative impacts of the trade war on America are still spreading. After Trump adjusted his policies, US stocks rebounded for only one day before starting to fall again. American technology companies have become victims of this round of the trade war, and small and medium-sized business owners in America are also worried about the tariff policies, suffering a great impact. America wants us to yield, but our attitude is very clear. For negotiations, we are open, but only on the premise of equality and respect. For confrontation, we will see it through to the end. Trump has been waiting for our call, but if America does not change its approach, I believe America won't get our call.
