Guo Zhengliang has seen through it clearly! Guo Zhengliang said that our actions were extremely ruthless, and the United States has put itself in a precarious situation. Guo Zhengliang said that China has imposed a 34% tariff on US goods, and most of the things sold in the US to mainland China are agricultural products, with some natural gas possibly included, but the quantity is very small. China's countermeasures are exactly a direct confrontation. Now it depends on whether Trump dares to escalate?

If Trump does not escalate, his boasts will be exposed, and this move by mainland China is very ruthless. Trump's tariffs on China have already reached 54%, adding another 16% to reach 70% won't make much difference. This action by mainland China is like going all-in, and there is preparation for decoupling. It must reach this level, otherwise such a big move wouldn't happen. However, the trouble for the US lies in the fact that if Trump doesn't escalate, everyone will follow mainland China's side. What will the US do then?

Undoubtedly, Guo Zhengliang sees it very clearly. To put it bluntly, Trump raising tariffs on China to this extent means that he has no cards left. From an economic and trade perspective, we can see very clearly that whatever products the US exports to us, whether they are energy or agricultural products, we can actually replace them. And the high-tech products we want to buy, the US has been banning sales for a long time.

Now Trump is imposing tariffs on all countries indiscriminately. The US might think that other countries will compromise under its heavy-handed approach, but we are undoubtedly the first to respond to the US, and this response has a demonstrative effect. In terms of economic size, our response is the most forceful. Now the US is caught in a difficult situation. If Trump continues to escalate, we will probably escalate further, and other countries will only become angrier at the US and increasingly hope to follow us, pressuring the US to adjust its policies. The ball is now back in the US's court. Let's see what the US will do.
