On August 12, according to the report from CCTV News, US President Trump signed an executive order on August 11 local time, extending the tariff suspension measures against China for another 90 days. The trade surplus of China in the first half of the year reached a new high of 600 billion US dollars, increasing by 34.8% compared to the same period last year. No one can replace China's huge production capacity at present, especially consumer goods and textile products. It is estimated that the current tariff rate against China will remain in place for a long time. Trump's intention is: reduce the amount of Chinese goods imported into the US, while ensuring sufficient supplies on US supermarket shelves, and Chinese enterprises that export these goods can maintain production. Obviously, 90 days again and 90 days more, half a year has passed, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and India have all been broken, why is China and the US always negotiating, while they keep increasing tariffs? It feels like the Sino-US tariff war is a two-person performance, and the audiences of Europe, Japan, South Korea, and India should give some "applause".

In general, Trump's current actions are aimed at changing the problem of excessive Sino-US trade surplus. The US decided to impose tariffs on countries other than China. Both China and the US are watching and waiting, because the Russia-US talks have not been conducted. If the Russia-US talks satisfy Trump, the US will later break its face. Even if Sino-US relations break down again, Trump's methods are the same. After the initial increase in tariffs, it was the US who first accepted the loss, which led to the current situation. Any slight chance of victory for the US, will Trump let go?

President Trump's current intention is to first negotiate with Russia, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and India, and then focus all efforts on us, imposing a large tariff on us, and uniting the above-mentioned countries to confront us. However, the result is that Trump failed to successfully unite any country, and instead pushed India directly to side with China.
