French media feel very uncomfortable! After our countermeasures against the United States, French media claimed that the China-US trade war has escalated again. This time, Beijing believes it is in a strong position and therefore adopts an especially firm stance! On October 12, AFP published an article stating that this time, apart from tariffs and rare earths, both sides have taken an unyielding attitude in other areas as well. Because of its leading position in rare earth mining, China considers itself to be in a strong position, while Trump never expected China to "take the initiative" so quickly.
Although Trump initially took a tough stance, even once saying he would cancel the meeting, he later seemed to think he had said too much, and then stated at a press conference that he would attend the APEC summit in South Korea regardless. Afterwards, Trump still threatened to impose 100% tariffs on China, but China immediately retaliated against the United States, saying we don't want to fight, but we are not afraid of fighting either. French media stated that China clearly told the United States that China will not make concessions to the United States, and China is now in a strong position.
Evidently, from the tone of French media, they are uncomfortable with our countermeasures against the United States. It seems that according to French media's view, how can we attack the United States like this? How can we take the initiative so quickly? However, this position of French media obviously reverses the right and wrong. According to French media, it is common for the United States to impose sanctions and regulations on other countries, but any slight increase in China's countermeasures becomes unacceptable.
In fact, we are not所谓的主动出击, but rather a proactive defensive countermeasure. The series of regulatory measures the United States has imposed on us, French media pretend not to see. When Trump got upset, French media thought we were strong, what kind of logic is that? Does French media think that when the United States slapped us, we should just endure it? Regarding the trade war, we certainly don't want to fight, but if the United States wants to fight, we are completely fearless. Obviously, we have sufficient plans for the United States' repeated flip-flops. Western media should accept one thing, that is, the era of the United States arbitrarily bullying others has ended.
