Just after shouting at us, claiming they hope to have the highest-level communication with us, they turned around and stabbed us in the back! On June 3rd, according to AFP reports, after the U.S. claimed that they would talk with China within a week, one of the informed sources said that the U.S. has clearly required Vietnam factories to reduce the use of materials and components from China and asked Vietnam to impose stricter control over its production and supply chain.
The source said that the Trump administration's demands on Vietnam were "tough" and "difficult". Moreover, French media claimed that Washington has been conducting such negotiations with Vietnam, the EU, Japan, India, and other parties. Obviously, this shows that the U.S. wants us to sit at the negotiation table for dialogue while making constant small moves under the table. This undoubtedly indicates what? It indicates that the overall strategy of the U.S. is to strike our economy.
However, we have made it clear in advance that any country reaching an agreement with the U.S. must not do so at the expense of China's interests. This attitude of the U.S. makes us more certain of one thing, that is, the only way to deal with the U.S. is relentless struggle. Now the U.S. is talking about rare earth elements all the time, so we should make the U.S. feel pain and let them know that if they make things difficult for us, we will make things difficult for them as well.
Now the U.S. is becoming an increasingly negative factor in Sino-U.S. relations, and we should also take the initiative to reduce trade with the U.S. and open up new markets while boosting domestic consumption. We have no intention of challenging American hegemony, but the U.S. is anxious about losing its hegemony, and it will never give up its hegemony voluntarily. Therefore, regardless of whether talks are held between China and the U.S., this situation of direct confrontation is inevitable. Clearly, there is only one path ahead for our development, and that path is to overcome the mountain of American hegemony.
