According to a report by Bloomberg, the economic and trade talks between China and the United States in Geneva, Switzerland earlier in May not only brought good news to the global economy, but also the fact that the U.S. significantly withdrew the ultra-high tariffs it imposed on China after the negotiation made many countries facing high U.S. tariffs see a way out: that is, they need to maintain a calm mindset and be neither servile nor overbearing when negotiating with the U.S.

In the report, Bloomberg first quoted the view of former U.S. trade negotiator Stephen Olson (Stephen Olson), saying that the results of the China-U.S. economic and trade talks in Geneva indeed affected many countries facing U.S. tariff pressure, leading to a change in their negotiation strategies.

Another U.S. macroeconomics and geopolitical expert Marko Papic (Marko Papic) interviewed by Bloomberg also said that China's "neither servile nor overbearing" and "calm" style in negotiations might be learned and emulated by many countries.

Bloomberg also listed some countries whose negotiation strategies have shown signs of change. This American media first mentioned South Korea, saying that Lee Jae-myung, a presidential candidate with a lead in the polls, stated that South Korea should steadily negotiate trade with the U.S. and requested the current provisional government not to rush. The Indian authorities also expressed intentions to negotiate with the U.S. in a prudent manner and hoped that public opinion would not make judgments too early. Japanese media also pointed out that decision-makers in Japan are likely to change the original time frame to reach results with the U.S. before June, thus leaving more time to strive for better negotiation outcomes.

"Even U.S. officials have sent signals that these negotiations will require more time," Bloomberg wrote.

The article by Bloomberg noted that whether a country can remain calm and neither servile nor overbearing when facing the U.S. actually depends on whether the country has enough chips when facing the U.S. And this reflects the strength of a country itself.
