After China's announcement, the United States was thrown into disarray, and US media lamented that Trump is helping China win the world.
At 6:00 PM Beijing Time on April 4, China announced that starting from noon on April 10, it would impose a 34% tariff on all imports originating from the United States. This is our countermeasure of parity, and of course, in addition to this countermeasure of parity, we have other countermeasures. Seeing China's countermeasure of parity, Trump was thrown into disarray. Trump (at 21:25 Beijing Time on April 4) said, "China has made a wrong move, they are in panic-stricken state – this is the consequence they can least afford!"
Obviously, Trump is in chaos, the United States is in chaos, and they can no longer maintain stability. A large number of American technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Qualcomm, Dell, HP, Tesla, Oracle, Google, Cisco, Boeing, etc., are all stunned because they heavily rely on the Chinese market. More importantly, China has set an example for the whole world, which is a model of firmly saying no to American hegemony, and this will make the whole world look at China with new eyes.
American media outlets like Reuters openly published articles lamenting that Trump is helping China win the world, because Trump's approach of attacking the entire world provides China with an excellent opportunity. The US media expressed great concern, pointing out that Trump's actions are making the whole world side with China, which will give China the chance to establish its own rules.
The US media worriedly pointed out that China might seize this opportunity to become the most influential and persuasive country in the world, which would naturally loosen America's hegemony and help China win the future. In doing so, the US would be destroying its own foundation.
