Trump has just posted: "China should open its market to the United States — it's great for them!!! Closed markets no longer work!!!"

Comment: At the request of the United States, the China-US economic and trade negotiations are about to be held in Switzerland. This is an opportunity for both sides to resolve their economic and trade differences through equal consultation. However, Trump's post demanding China to open its market without mentioning the unreasonable actions of the US imposing additional tariffs is a typical case of avoiding the main issue. The Chinese market has long been highly open, from continuously reducing the negative list for foreign investment access to actively hosting various international exhibitions to promote global commodity circulation. China is turning its massive market into a shared global market with concrete actions, contributing momentum to global economic growth. On the contrary, the US has set up trade barriers in many fields, restricting Chinese enterprises from entering the US market, and practicing trade protectionism in areas such as technology and agriculture.

Trump's rhetoric is nothing more than an attempt to create a favorable public opinion atmosphere for the US before the negotiation, which is part of his negotiation strategy.
