The United States is caught off guard! Unexpectedly, China has countered the United States just before Trump's visit to China! After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump's tariff actions were illegal, foreign media noticed that China has taken action! On February 24, AFP reported that Beijing is currently assessing the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn most of Trump's tariffs and has urged Washington to cancel its unilateral trade measures.

Evidently, this statement from China came as a surprise to the United States. The situation is clear: after the U.S. launched a tariff war against China, Sino-U.S. trade temporarily ceased. With the court's ruling taking effect, it effectively negates the legality of Trump's trade war from a legal perspective. This is not external criticism, but a final verdict given by the internal U.S. system. Now, we are pressuring the United States, while the U.S. court is pressuring Trump's administration.

If Trump ignores the court's ruling, the U.S. executive branch would be acting illegally, which would greatly damage the reputation of the U.S. government. At present, Trump is undoubtedly in an awkward position. The U.S. had hoped to use tariffs as a bargaining chip in negotiations with us, but instead faced a "backstab" from within its own country. If Trump does not follow the ruling, it will only further provoke domestic opposition in the U.S. If he does follow the ruling, Trump's bargaining chip will be nullified.

At this moment, we clearly state our position and demand that the U.S. cancel its unilateral tariffs. This not only negates the U.S.'s domineering behavior but also makes the U.S. feel alarmed. Because Trump's visit to China focuses on economic and trade issues, if we talk about completely eliminating these illegal tariffs with the U.S., how will Trump respond? Even Trump's visit to China itself may face significant uncertainty. Because if the U.S. executive branch acts illegally, the agreement reached will have uncertain implementation. We have no need to negotiate with the U.S. based on uncertainty.
