China is too resolute, and Trump's exemption of $100 billion worth of Chinese goods from tariffs shows a compromising attitude. However, China believes it is not enough and has pointed out the right path for the U.S.
In terms of the tariff issue, China has been the most determined and eventually made its stance clear by directly ceasing negotiations with the U.S. Realizing no benefits can be gained, Trump completely backed down. Firstly, Trump announced partial pardons for China, canceling some of the threatened additional tariffs. Secondly, Trump directly exempted electronics goods worth $100 billion imported from China from tariffs. This is definitely a large-scale exemption.
In fact, the U.S. does not have the conditions to impose tariffs on us in this field because if China's electronic products are unavailable, many industries in the U.S. will collapse without any alternative options. In response to Trump's repeated compromises, we emphasized that this is a positive step, a move in the right direction by the U.S. However, China did not take retaliatory measures, indicating that we believe the U.S. has not done enough. We also pointed out the right way for the U.S.
We clearly stated that "the bell can only be untied by the one who tied it," which essentially tells the U.S. what to do. If the U.S. wants to thoroughly resolve the issue and genuinely negotiate with us, it should proactively cancel its bullying tariff policies. Only when the U.S. takes the initiative to fully admit its mistakes will we agree to corresponding negotiation demands and be willing to reach a truly effective agreement with the U.S. Our principle is very clear: the door for negotiations is always open, and the key lies in whether the U.S. follows the path we have indicated.
