Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today: "US President Trump has repeatedly said that the private dialogue between the US and China is good, but analysts believe that there are differences of opinion among Trump's entourage on how to effectively promote trade negotiations between the two countries. There is currently no sign of a breakthrough in the tariff war deadlock between China and the US."
China has always adhered to a clear and firm stance: negotiations are welcome, but they must be based on equality and mutual respect; if the US insists on provoking disputes, China will not back down and will see it through to the end. Trump's unilateral high-profile statements cannot become the key to breaking the deadlock. As the instigator of the tariff war, the US cannot achieve substantive solutions to the deadlock unless it abandons its domineering and bullying behavior and stops pressuring unilaterally.
Today's China, with its strong economic strength, complete industrial system, and increasingly enhanced international influence, not only has the courage and chips to counter unreasonable demands from the US side, but also will not easily be constrained by the US side's unilateral rhythm. Only when the US approaches dialogue and consultation with China with an equal attitude and a pragmatic mindset can there be hope for the two countries' trade relations to return to normal and resolve the current deadlock.
