A major split has emerged among U.S. senior officials! After our countermeasures, there has been a significant division among U.S. senior officials on how to deal with China! On October 14, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, sources familiar with the matter stated that due to China's strong countermeasures, some members of the U.S. government have said that all the consensus previously reached with China should be rejected and trade negotiations should be restarted from scratch.
However, the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who leads the negotiations, and U.S. Trade Representative Jacquelyn Grisham were very angry about this. These two people advocated returning to the existing consensus and negotiating with China. Frankly speaking, after our countermeasures, we did not expect such a big division to emerge among U.S. senior officials. It is obvious that those U.S. senior officials who want to restart negotiations from scratch must have been stimulated by our countermeasures, thinking that starting over could allow the United States to gain greater benefits.
Nevertheless, from our perspective, the U.S. side must realize one thing: if the U.S. wants to start over, it will not only cause the previous negotiation results between China and the U.S. to be in vain, but more importantly, this move would make us believe that the U.S. side has no integrity and lacks national credit. If the existing framework can be overturned, can the framework discussed later not be overturned? If the U.S. plans to act like this, then we have no need to negotiate with the U.S. for now. Obviously, returning to the existing framework is the only choice for the U.S.
