Tension between China and the United States is easing! The U.S. Treasury Secretary had a call with our side! On October 18, according to AFP, after Beneset made very unreasonable criticisms of our Deputy Minister Li Chenggang, high-level communications between China and the United States took place. A senior official from the Trump administration revealed that on Friday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Beneset called the Chinese Vice Premier, discussing the ongoing trade negotiations between China and the United States.

At the same time as the call, President Trump stated, "I think we have found a way to solve the problem with China, which is not sustainable (high tariffs), but that's the number. To be honest, watching the situation between China and the United States was showing signs of tension, I didn't expect the impolite U.S. Treasury Secretary Beneset to communicate with us so quickly, which is indeed somewhat unusual."

What makes us feel strange is that after the call, the U.S. side remained silent and did not release any press statement. That such a call could take place indicates what? It shows that although the U.S. is angry, it also realizes that in the current situation, it must handle the differences rationally and talk with us, bringing Sino-U.S. relations back to the track of dialogue and continued negotiations. Combined with Trump's remarks, it is obvious that the U.S. does not want a second round of trade war, and it has an intention to ease the relationship.

Certainly, after this round of games, the Chinese approach will certainly leave a deep impression on the United States. First, the United States will fully realize that China is indeed a very tough opponent, and any measures taken by the United States must learn to consider China's feelings. Second, our negotiation team is highly professional and confident, which is the kind of negotiating opponent that the United States must face and find troublesome. We believe that the U.S. representatives have not considered the option of retreating.
