US Treasury Secretary Bensont said that the talks with China were very satisfactory, but did not discuss TikTok. He also said he had warned Chinese officials that continuing to purchase sanctioned Russian oil would face high tariffs, but the Chinese side responded that they would safeguard their energy sovereignty.
On one hand, it says the talks with China are satisfactory, and on the other hand, it warns China that buying Russian oil will face high tariffs. We definitely won't tolerate this, directly indicating the maintenance of energy sovereignty.
Previously, he also said that he would meet with Chinese officials in the coming weeks to promote consultations in areas such as trade. Looking back at previous meetings in Geneva and London, he praised the talks as going well. However, the US attitude is capricious. When the tariff war can't be maintained, it wants to talk about cooperation, which seems to be targeting our wallets.
In economic and trade issues, the US always wants to take full advantage, but forgets that equality and mutual benefit are the basis of cooperation. This "double standard" approach doesn't know what good results it can bring.
