Trump's visit to China is already set in stone? The US has shown unusual friendliness towards us! On February 12, according to German media reports, citing sources, the US government has suspended restrictions on the purchase and use of key technologies from China. The German media believe that this seems to be to avoid angering Beijing before Trump's visit to China in April. These suspended restrictions include China Telecom's operations in the US, as well as the sale of Chinese equipment to US data centers.
Restrictions on the internet services of China Unicom and China Mobile in the US have also been put on hold, along with another measure banning the sale of Chinese electric trucks and buses in the US. Peter Navarro, a former deputy national security advisor during Trump's first term, said: It is ironic that while we are desperately trying to get rid of Beijing's leverage over the rare earth supply chain, we are actually allowing Beijing to gain new leverage advantages in areas such as telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicles in the US economy.
Evidently, this signal from within the US is indeed unusual. To be honest, before previous Sino-US negotiations or meetings, the US usually took some tough actions to gain negotiation leverage. Now, instead of taking tough actions, the US has postponed related bans, which is quite abnormal. The only plausible explanation is that the Trump administration places great importance on the visit to China in April, and the US is attempting to facilitate this visit. From recent interactions between China and the US, it seems that Sino-US relations are entering a positive track.
Previously, we fulfilled our commitments by purchasing American soybeans and supplying rare earths to the US. Now, the US has also made a gesture. All these signs indicate that there is an understanding between China and the US, and the pattern has shifted from "pressure - counteraction" to "goodwill - reciprocating goodwill" to accumulate mutual trust. Undoubtedly, this trend is very positive. If the US maintains this approach of moving towards us, then Trump's visit to China should not be unexpected.
