The fight entered the second round.
In the face of China’s hard-line counterattack, Trump, who is not reconciled, has just announced that he will consider adding an additional 100 billion U.S. dollar tariff on Chinese goods.
So that a paragraph says:
Trump: 3 billion; China: I follow.
Trump: 500 billion; China: I speak.
Trump: Add another 100 billion; China: I follow.
Trump Ma Tsai: Boss, er, only 150 billion, all-in?
Trump: All-in!! ! (inflicted)
Many people say that Trump is crazy, but this is an extraordinary move that conveys three signals:
Signal one, China's tough counterattack, completely contrary to Trump's expectations.
In these two days of struggle, there are three unprecedented examples: China’s history of unprecedented attitude is so tough, China’s counterattack is unprecedented in history, and the United States has never been so anxious about history.
Trump had thought that such a huge amount of 50 billion U.S. dollars, this kind of trade war momentum, would surely shock China at once, and China will soon be obedient. However, he was disappointed by the result. China even said that he must 'follow him'. And within 10 hours, tit-for-tat countermeasures were announced, the same scale, the same amount, the same intensity. This is a beautiful combination of punches. Such a quick response, the struggle together, behind China's success in the chest.
Signal two, In order to save face, Trump had to continue to increase.
There may be a psychological struggle in it. On April 4, the US stock market plunged, Trump government officials quickly reassured, the market need not be too anxious, and tariffs may never appear. Trump himself also published Twitter Say: We did not have a trade war with China. The war was lost many years ago by stupid and incompetent politicians who represented the United States... We cannot allow this to continue!
You know, Trump had bragged before: The trade war is simple, and the United States can certainly win. But now, despite its enthusiasm, it has to change its mouth subtlely, saying that there is no trade war with China. Maybe then, Trump will return. When I lost my life, I lost so much that I couldn't be reconciled. I simply raised my asking price, opened a list of $100 billion, and continued to extort threats.
Signal three, may be too anxious, Trump made another international joke.
You know, Trump's original remark is: Based on China’s unjust retaliation, I have instructed the U.S. trade representative to study whether, under clause 301, an additional US$100 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods can be added. If so, what goods should be? .
Trump must have said the wrong thing. Because if it were to add another 100 billion U.S. tariffs, it would be tantamount to taxing all imports of Chinese goods. Even all Chinese goods would not be enough. He might mean that another 100 billion U.S. dollars. The increase in tariffs on Chinese goods. This is exactly two concepts.
According to Trump's mistakes, the world's largest economic power and the world's second largest economy are engaged in the trade struggle. The world trading system must collapse, and the world economy must sink into a depression. This completely impossible approach exposes Trump has no knowledge of trade knowledge, and, it's a bit anxious!
The struggle has just reached the second round. This is a trade contest, but it is a psychological battle.
In the end, there are still a few views that have become stronger:
First, China is emboldened. Trump is still intimidating, but he does not have enough confidence. Without sufficient judgment, there is no clapping force, and China certainly cannot withstand such intimidation as Trump.
Second, China is very united. The Internet is full of rivals and supports the government's counterattack. Because we all know that China is completely forced to meet the United States. The United States will succeed and it will have no end in sight.
Third, the United States is very contradictory. It is interesting to note that on April 4th, the US stock market began to plummet, and finally it ended with a big rise. The US market also understands it: Trump is bluffing and asking prices, but now it’s kicking. China's iron plate; The ultimate outcome of the United States, there should be only one: Active compromise, hastily ended.
However, before the compromise, he released another 100 billion U.S. dollars to try to save face. But it may be too anxious. Trump even made a mistake and made a big international joke.
The struggle is continuing. The good show is indeed behind!
