China's countermeasures are likely to be announced soon! At noon Beijing time today, the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" proposed by Trump have come into full effect. Whether a country actively negotiates with the U.S. or firmly opposes the unreasonable tariffs imposed by the U.S., it will now be taxed by the U.S. Undoubtedly, this is a very crazy moment when the U.S. takes on the entire international community alone and deliberately disrupts the normal operation of global trade.
With the official implementation of the tariffs, our domestic situation remains very calm, and even our stock market has shown an upward trend. What does this indicate? It indicates that we are no longer afraid, and we have enough confidence to thwart the trade war initiated by the U.S. At this moment, not only us but other countries will also become clearer about the essence of the U.S., ultimately accepting the fact that in the face of U.S. hegemony, only resistance can prevent greater losses to one's own interests.
If we give in to the U.S. today, tomorrow, with their capricious, untrustworthy, and insatiable nature, they will still find new excuses for further extortion. The greed of the U.S. knows no bounds. Trump uses the U.S. market as leverage, but such threats not only provoke dissatisfaction among various countries but will eventually trigger discontent among American businesses, the business community, and ordinary Americans. Protests against Trump himself are already happening and will only grow larger in scale. There is limited room for Trump to act recklessly; next year, the U.S. will have midterm elections, and Trump attempts to achieve a quick victory through brute force.
Therefore, since taking office, he has thrown himself fully into reckless actions, but the more Trump pursues a quick victory, the more we must withstand. Over time, the U.S. will inevitably become anxious and disheartened, eventually recognizing reality under internal and external opposition and addressing issues in a practical manner. Soon, the American public will face shortages of goods and rising prices, while U.S. enterprises will also become confused due to Trump's unpredictable policies, dare not increase investment, face export obstacles, and so on. The sword is drawn, and it is time for us to grit our teeth.
