It's estimated that the United States feels uncomfortable! After our response, it is unclear whether the US will retaliate against us! On April 24th, our foreign ministry spokesperson officially responded, stating that China and the US have not held consultations or negotiations on the issue of tariffs, let alone reached any agreement. The US unilaterally claimed that the talks between China and the US were going well.
Trump then expressed optimism about reaching a trade agreement, saying "We will be very friendly to each other, and we will see what happens." In fact, there has been no shadow of any negotiation between China and the US. From the perspective of the US, they must feel that they have made significant concessions and said many conciliatory words, and China will surely respond positively. But in reality, this is just a one-sided wish of the US.
Seeing our response, the US is likely to feel quite embarrassed. Now that we have made it clear that there will be no negotiation, it remains to be seen how the US will act next. The US has two choices. First, they may retaliate against us and escalate further. However, we have already stated that we will counteract such actions, and doing so will make it even less possible for the US to bring us back to the negotiating table.
Second, the US will have to show greater sincerity until we realize that they are truly willing to negotiate. In fact, this is the only way for the US to resolve the trade war. By now, our firm stance has probably exceeded the expectations of the US, who still believed that China and the US would soon hold negotiations. However, as proven so far, this has not happened. The US has greatly underestimated our preparations for the trade war.
