Foreign media said that both China and the United States have released signals of easing tensions, and both sides are willing to facilitate meetings! On October 13, the "United Press" cited experts' views, stating that there is still a lot of room for maneuver in Sino-US trade negotiations, because both China and the United States can hold each other's necks, which is the basic reality. China has used the "rare earth card" as a tool and bargaining chip, and the new regulations have shocked the international community, with Trump's reaction exceeding Beijing's expectations.
However, both sides have shown signs of easing. China stated that the rare earth export control is not a ban on exports, and companies need not worry. The main purpose is to further explain and try to ease the situation, aiming to comfort rather than threaten. At this point, for the United States, if a deal can be reached, China can buy large amounts of American goods such as soybeans and Boeing airplanes, which would significantly reduce Trump's political pressure. Therefore, Trump still very much hopes for the meeting.
What do we think of this analysis by foreign media? Undoubtedly, this analysis makes sense. To put it bluntly, our countermeasures are essentially a warning to the United States, telling them not to make backdoor moves or fabricate cards to gain an advantage in negotiations. Our main goal is to bring the United States back onto a positive track, making the United States realize that China will not accept the United States' repeated flip-flopping and constant dragging-out behavior.
Trump certainly hopes to meet with us. For the United States, as long as a deal is reached with us, it will become a substantial and tangible achievement that Trump can boast about and use to self-promote, which will also allow Trump to account for himself to the American public. Obviously, after the recent confrontation between China and the United States, where both sides have shown their chips, they will inevitably enter a new round of bargaining. We believe that with our actions this time, the United States will curb its words without action and repeated extortion behavior, making the possible Sino-US negotiations more smooth.
