Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today: Scholars analyzed that China's indication of no longer responding to the US tariff increase is equivalent to not wanting to be led by Trump again, and throwing the problem back to Trump, while using this to highlight that China is the "adult in the room," the mature and responsible party.
After several rounds of retaliatory tariff hikes between China and the United States, the Tariff Commission of the State Council announced on Friday (April 11) that tariffs on American goods would increase from 84% to 125%, and stated that if the US continues to impose tariffs on Chinese goods, it will become a laughingstock, and China will "ignore" it.
China is the largest trading network in the world, the largest trading partner for more than 120 countries, with a vast domestic market and a complete supply chain system. Although the US market is important, it is not irreplaceable. With the enhancement of China's economic strength and the diversification of trade partners, China has enough courage and ability to cope with the US tariff provocations.
China throws the problem back to Trump, allowing the US to face the consequences of its unreasonable policies, while also avoiding further energy consumption in the meaningless tariff number game, instead focusing on handling its own affairs well, developing its economy, expanding open cooperation, and demonstrating the demeanor and composure expected of a major country.
