We have responded to the United States without giving any face! The U.S. is probably unable to save face now! On April 24th, at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when a journalist asked about reports that China and the U.S. were negotiating or even reaching an agreement, our spokesperson clearly replied that, according to my understanding, there has been no negotiation or discussion between both sides regarding the tariff issue, let alone reaching an agreement.
Obviously, this response from us leaves absolutely no face for the U.S. The U.S. side claimed that negotiations between China and the U.S. were already underway, but were they going in the right direction? The fact proves that this was just false information released by the U.S. Our response naturally makes the U.S. feel embarrassed. This response from us is undoubtedly very tough, indicating that under the current attitude of the U.S., China will not negotiate with them.
In fact, we are very clear about the套路of the U.S. The U.S. first makes outrageous demands and then takes a few small steps back, but we completely do not fall for it. On the other hand, we have long understood the bottom line of the U.S., which is that the so-called negotiations by the U.S. will definitely impose additional taxes, and the U.S. has no sincerity in canceling all unreasonable tariffs.
Recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besson accused Beijing's export-dependent economic model as "unsustainable", claiming that it not only "damages" China but also "damages" other countries in the world. Trump hopes to solve this problem through comprehensive tariff collection. Therefore, the attitude of the U.S. does not constitute the basis for Sino-U.S. negotiations. Since the U.S. still wants to extort us, we will naturally ignore them until the U.S. completely changes its way of dealing with us.
