After the U.S. Supreme Court ruling dealt a severe blow to Trump's tariff policy, U.S. Trade Representative Griles said in an interview with Fox News on February 22 local time: "We hope to ensure that China is fulfilling its responsibilities under the agreement... This means that they (China) must continue to purchase the products they have committed to purchasing."
Responding to changes in the U.S. tariff policy, China has made a response today, fully demonstrating China's position and stance. China mainly expressed three points: First, it is assessing the relevant ruling, reflecting rationality; second, opposing unilateral tariff increases and safeguarding the multilateral trading system; third, firmly protecting China's interests and demonstrating a bottom-line mindset.
The U.S. trade representative's threatening tone of "must" and "ensure" is essentially an attempt to shift domestic political pressure into a tool for pressuring China, exposing its habitual thinking of continuing unilateral bullying. If the United States truly hopes to stabilize Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations, it should abandon the rhetoric of "maximum pressure" and return to the track of equal dialogue. Otherwise, its policy fluctuations will only increase market uncertainty and ultimately harm its own credibility and global supply chain stability.
