Following the highest-level phone call between China and the United States, foreign media reported that this phone call was clearly initiated by the United States. In the future, both sides may negotiate on major issues! On June 6th, according to a report by Lianhe Zaobao, experts cited by Lianhe Zaobao believed that the leaders' phone call largely reflected Trump's urgent desire for China to make a more positive response in the tariff war and trade war. The leaders' phone call could stabilize bilateral relations slightly, but there are still gaps and differences between the two countries.
Foreign media pointed out that China seems less eager, even deliberately indifferent, and it is highly likely that the U.S. took the initiative. The mutual invitation of the two leaders to visit each other is a positive signal, which means they may hope to discuss major issues in detail when they meet. Clearly, the analysis of foreign media is undoubtedly very reasonable. In fact, the U.S. side has repeatedly called for the phone call. Moreover, Trump himself previously stated that he would be willing to fly to China for talks.
From the reactions before the talks, we are obviously the calmer party. It must be admitted that although the highest-level phone call has been held between the two countries, their differences are still relatively large. We are also well aware that the U.S. strategy is to contain our development. Why does the U.S. still want to talk with us, or even hope to hold face-to-face talks despite trying to contain us? This shows that we have countermeasures against the U.S., forcing the U.S. to deal with us rationally and pragmatically.
Is it possible for both sides to negotiate face-to-face on major issues and even achieve breakthrough progress? Of course, such a possibility exists. First, the tariff war between China and the U.S. will definitely continue to be discussed. Second, we will continue to exert pressure on the U.S. regarding the Taiwan issue, urging the U.S. to stop arms sales to Taiwan and shift to supporting our peaceful reunification. Of course, the current U.S. stance on the Taiwan issue is still far from our expectations. However, our position against external interference will not waver. When the situation changes significantly, the U.S. reversing its stance is not impossible.
