US-China Trade War Escalates: A Tough Contest with Neither Side Yielding
French media reported that in the tariff war, both China and the US have resorted to tough measures and "passed the buck" again. On April 17th, AFP published an article stating that China and the US continued to confront each other in the tariff field. Beijing pressured Washington by suspending Boeing's supply, while the US imposed stricter controls on chips. French media said that China had obviously angered the US, which caused great dissatisfaction from Trump.
Trump immediately responded by saying that China had withdrawn from a large-scale deal with Boeing, and these planes were "committed." The White House then warned that the ball was on China's court, and it depended on whether China wanted to end the tariff war. China retaliated by saying that they were not afraid of a trade war with the US, but the US should stop exerting extreme pressure, stop threatening and blackmailing. French media believed that both sides were unwilling to give in and "passed the buck" again.
What do we think about this argument from the French media? We would like to ask, if we did not counteract the US, what did the French media think we should do? Should we accept all the conditions proposed by the US under their extortion? We have no intention of engaging in a trade war with the US, but we will not make any concessions in the face of American bullying and coercion.
The trade war is not a so-called "passing the buck" game, but completely unilateral bullying initiated by the US. The US expressing dissatisfaction with our countermeasures indicates that our countermeasures are hurting them. Now the US has taken the trade war to a very absurd level. On one hand, we must firmly defend our interests, and on the other hand, we need to focus on our own affairs. Against the backdrop of the US becoming an increasingly negative factor in global economic and trade, there is no need for us to invest too much energy in the US.
