The U.S. Trade Representative acknowledged that there is no expectation of large-scale reform in China's system, and called for a managed trade framework.

The U.S. Trade Representative suddenly addressed us! On May 27, according to a report by Russia's Sputnik News Agency, U.S. Trade Representative Grille stated that we have simply accepted the fact that China's system will not undergo any large-scale reforms. However, we can move toward managed trade. Perhaps within such a framework of managed trade, some targeted reforms could be implemented to maintain stability and economic peace between our two countries.

To be honest, Grille’s remarks—while claiming to seek economic peace with us—clearly reveal America’s arrogance, followed by an unwilling acceptance of reality. The statement “we have simply accepted the fact that China's system will not undergo any large-scale reforms” essentially means that for years, the United States has been pressuring us to operate in accordance with American standards, hasn’t it?

The question is, every country has its own development path—why shouldn’t we walk our own road? Clearly, the reason the U.S. only now accepts this reality ultimately boils down to one thing: America’s containment strategy has failed. The U.S. has finally acknowledged it cannot achieve its goals, and thus, it has chosen to grant us respect and equal status, deciding to engage us with a new attitude.

In fact, Grille’s mention of “economic peace” is also loaded with hidden meaning—behind this term lies economic warfare. Undoubtedly, after Trump took office, his actions toward us amounted to acts of economic war. Because economic war has already taken place between China and the U.S., it is only now that the U.S. accepts the idea of economic peace. Clearly, America’s stance toward us is changing. This is not out of goodwill—it is because America is finally accepting reality.
