The second day of the China-US negotiation has officially begun! The Chinese side remains silent, while the US Commerce Secretary releases messages in advance, claiming that the talks are progressing very smoothly. According to foreign media reports on June 10th, the delegation led by US Treasury Secretary Besten and Chinese State Council Vice Premier He Lifeng arrived at Lancaster House around 10:40 AM local time on Tuesday morning, preparing for the second day of economic and trade talks.
Before the talks, US Commerce Secretary Lutnik told reporters: The negotiations yesterday lasted all day, and it is expected that today will also be a full-day event. The talks are progressing smoothly, and we have spent a lot of time discussing together. However, although the US side claims that the talks are going very well, our side has not disclosed any information about the talks, which is still very unexpected to the outside world.
Experts said that China's style is steady, and before specific results are discussed, the Chinese side will not disclose too many messages. On the other hand, American negotiators are different. The remarks of the US representatives seem more like wanting to report to Trump, saying some words that Trump likes to hear, making Trump feel at ease who is anxiously waiting for good news. Because now the US is being very troubled by our rare earth control, Trump really hopes for good news.
Recently, Trump frankly admitted, "China is not easy to deal with." This statement coming from Trump's mouth indirectly shows that we have very adequate preparation for the negotiations. We will definitely list a concern list and discuss one by one with the US on major concerns. Undoubtedly, if the US wants the negotiations to go smoothly, it depends on how much sincerity the US ultimately offers.
