US President Donald Trump wrote tonight (April 17 evening, Beijing Time): "Yesterday, I had a very productive conversation with the Mexican president. Similarly, I met with Japan's highest-level trade representative. It was a very productive meeting. Every country, including China, wants to meet! Today, Italy!"
[Wit] Comment: Trump is again talking to himself. Trump is the one who truly desires to meet with China. In fact, China's position has always been clear and consistent. There are no winners in a tariff war or a trade war. China does not want to fight, but it is not afraid to fight either. If the US side really wants to resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation, it should abandon its maximum pressure tactics, stop threats and blackmail, and engage in dialogue with China on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefit. Therefore, Trump's clamor has no effect; he cannot deceive the world, especially not the Chinese people. If Trump truly wants to negotiate, he must first show respect and make positive changes.
