Al Jazeera: The Chinese side believes that Trump should take the first step by reducing tariffs on goods imported from China. However, the White House now insists that China should take the first step to reach out to the U.S. Both sides are now at an impasse here. The Al Jazeera article pointed out that China does not expect the U.S. to make full concessions, but welcomes any measures taken by the U.S. to ease tensions. For China, these negotiations go far beyond the trade agenda and are related to broader strategic issues concerning the development of bilateral relations with the U.S. in the coming years. Finally, Al Jazeera wrote that in fact, China sees the current trade confrontation as the beginning of the future direction of its relationship with the U.S., and will formulate its own strategy based on the results of this phase. China has always negotiated with the U.S. in a cautious and pragmatic manner, and the U.S. restrictions on exports of key and important technologies may be one of the key issues in the negotiations.
