The United States has responded! After we raised the tariff on the U.S. from 34% to 84%, the U.S. Treasury Secretary came out with a response. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bassey said: China's 84% retaliatory tariff is regrettable. China's escalation of tariffs is a "loser" for them. They can raise tariffs, but so what? Obviously, in the face of our countermeasures, the U.S. side is showing an attitude of "what can you do to me?"
In the eyes of this U.S. Treasury Secretary, the U.S. seems to have the upper hand. However, let us say that so what? This "so what" is precisely that we dare to say no to the U.S. The U.S. threat is completely useless to us. Isn't the U.S. hoping we will compromise? Isn't the U.S. hoping that China will accept the conditions offered by the U.S. to achieve a reduction in U.S. tariffs? But they didn't wait for that day.
U.S. politicians can describe us as a so-called loser through their words, but what is a success? Is it a success to submit to the U.S.? We are very clear that for a long time, the U.S. is a country that believes in the principle of strength, and the U.S. wants to make other countries submit through its strength. But for us, that day has permanently passed. We stopped falling for it a long time ago, and we won't fall for it now. The U.S. Treasury Secretary has clearly underestimated us and overestimated the U.S. itself.
