China and the US just had a meeting, but the US stabbed us in the back! On July 11, according to foreign media reports, just as China and the US finally achieved a ministerial-level meeting, the US was again making small moves behind the scenes. A senior official from South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said on Friday that while South Korea and the US were discussing cooperation in shipbuilding, the US asked South Korea to jointly curb China in trade negotiations.
The head of South Korea's trade policy stated that the US required South Korea to take joint measures to curb China in "other areas" as a "precondition" for bilateral shipbuilding cooperation between the US and South Korea. Obviously, although China and the US are currently holding talks, the US has not changed its stance of seeing us as an opponent. Such actions by the US at the time of the China-US ministerial-level meeting further show that the US is not acting with good intentions towards us.
In fact, to strike our shipbuilding industry, the US has already used many means. These means include charging high port fees to operators of Chinese ships, including those built in China, as well as subsidizing the US shipbuilding industry. This pressure exerted by the US on South Korea to counter us reveals the US' clear intention to weaken our shipbuilding industry.
Therefore, what does this mean from our perspective? It means that even if the US wants to engage in dialogue with us and ease relations, it is only a temporary measure. The US' strategic containment attitude towards China will not change due to temporary easing of relations. Of course, since the US is taking unfriendly actions against us, we will certainly be ready to take countermeasures. We have no illusions about the US!
