8-hour negotiation in Switzerland has ended, and Trump is thrilled, which is his usual style, but things are not that simple.
According to Reuters, the 8-hour negotiation between China and the U.S. in Switzerland ended at midnight on May 11th, but no more detailed content has been disclosed, which indicates that the content of this meeting is still very sensitive, and the progress of the meeting is also very sensitive. As planned, the negotiation between China and the U.S. will continue on Sunday. From relevant descriptions, it can be seen that certain consensus has been reached through this negotiation, since the decision to continue talks has been made. Additionally, the fact that this meeting lasted for 8 hours shows that discussions on specific issues were relatively in-depth and detailed.
Although the media have not disclosed more information, Trump appears to be very excited. Trump happily said that many consensuses have been reached during the negotiation, and the atmosphere of the negotiation was friendly and constructive. Trump also publicly called out, saying that China should open up to American enterprises for the benefit of both China and the U.S. Obviously, this is Trump's usual style; he likes to make a big deal out of things and boast about his achievements. Trump likes to publicize things before they are concluded, but he often backtracks later, so things are not that simple.
Firstly, our bottom line principle will not change, meaning we will firmly defend our own rights and interests and will not make any concessions on reasonable benefits. Secondly, it is hard to judge whether the U.S. has shown enough sincerity in the negotiation, as verbal commitments from the U.S. are not trustworthy, and even written commitments are difficult to believe. As long as there is negotiation, it is a good thing, indicating that things are moving in a positive direction, but we cannot be overly optimistic about expectations.
