Singaporean media Lianhe Zaobao published a comment on April 7th, stating that most countries secretly hope that the US government encountering China, such a "tough opponent", could make Trump's "bullying tariff policy" somewhat restrained. The comment pointed out that in response to this round of US tariff increase, China has obviously been well-prepared. China's reaction is the "fastest and strongest" since the Sino-US trade war in 2018. In the economic and trade field, China dares to confront the United States head-on, even not afraid of decoupling, unwilling to let the United States "take whatever it wants". Indeed, this time China has much more confidence in countering the US. On April 6th, People's Daily published a commentary stating that China has fought an 8-year trade war with the US. The "eight years of resistance" have made China stronger and stronger. There are signs of overtaking the US in many fields such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and humanoid robots. The strategy towards the US has shifted to "promoting talks through conflicts" and "seeking harmony through struggles", no longer fearing to engage in direct confrontation. "If others do not offend me, I will not offend them; if they offend me, I will certainly counterattack." China is good at counterattacking after being attacked, especially when dealing with Americans.
