According to a report by Bloomberg, the economic and trade talks held between China and the United States in Geneva, Switzerland earlier in May not only brought good news to the global economy but also saw the U.S. significantly reducing the extremely high tariffs it had imposed on China after the negotiations. This move has given many countries that are also facing high U.S. tariffs a way out: that is, when negotiating with the U.S., they should maintain a calm mindset and be neither servile nor overbearing. In the report, Bloomberg first cited the views of former U.S. trade negotiator Stephen Olson (Stephen Olson), stating 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 shift in their negotiation strategies. Another U.S. macroeconomics and geopolitical expert interviewed by Bloomberg, Marko Papic (Marko Papic), also stated that China's "neither servile nor overbearing" and "calm" approach during the negotiations may be learned and emulated by many countries. Bloomberg also listed some countries whose negotiation strategies have shown signs of change. The American media first mentioned South Korea, stating that Lee Jae-myung, a presidential candidate leading in polls, said South Korea should conduct trade negotiations with the U.S. steadily and urged the current provisional government not to rush for quick results. India's official side also expressed intentions to negotiate with the U.S. in a prudent manner and hoped public opinion would not make judgments too early. Japanese media also pointed out that decision-makers in Japan were likely to change the original time frame of reaching an agreement with the U.S. before June, thus allowing more time to secure better negotiation outcomes. "Even U.S. officials have sent signals that these negotiations will require more time," Bloomberg wrote. The article noted that whether a country can remain calm and neither servile nor overbearing when facing the U.S. actually depends on whether it has sufficient leverage when dealing with the U.S. This, in turn, reflects the strength of a country itself.
