On November 26, Rubio told the media: "The President and First Lady are flying back to Mar-a-Lago to celebrate Thanksgiving. He has urged China to accelerate and increase its purchases of American products. The Chinese side has basically agreed. Currently, China has resumed purchasing American soybeans and stopped restricting exports of rare earths. However, the speed of purchasing American products is lower than expected. Like President Trump, I believe China will bring us a surprise!"
[Sarcastic] Rubio's 'surprise' rhetoric essentially exposes the naked logic of hegemony! On one hand, the US imposes tariffs on China and implements export controls, while on the other hand, it forces China to expand its purchases, treating economic and trade cooperation as a tool for one-sided exploitation. China's resumption of soybean purchases and relaxation of restrictions on rare earth exports are acts of goodwill based on mutual benefit, but they have been taken by the US as a means to push further. The reason why the speed of purchases has not met expectations lies in the continuous destruction of the trade environment by the US, making cooperation lack certainty. The so-called urging is nothing more than hegemonic pressure, and the so-called surprise is merely a robber's fantasy. Sino-US trade is not a relief station for the US. If the US does not abandon unilateralism and remove unreasonable tariffs, what Rubio and others will get is not a pleasant surprise, but an unpleasant shock!
