Trump said that it would significantly reduce tariffs on China. China’s Ministry of Commerce responded that if the United States really wants to solve the problem, it should face up to the rational voices of the international community and domestic parties, completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, and find ways to resolve differences through equal dialogue. As Trump softens his attitude, will the tariff war between China and the United States cool down? Today's "One Tiger, One Talk" invites Zhao Zhongxiu, president of the w88 casino, to analyze the Sino-US w88 war and tariff policies from a professional perspective.
To paraphrase Trump’s words in “The Art of the Deal,” “In the transaction, you have shown that you are eager to make a deal, which is the worst.” Looking at the new changes in the tariff confrontation between China and the United States, what is reflected behind it? Zhao Zhongxiu pointed out that no matter what kind of offer it is, the premise is wrong. As the promoter of the multilateral trading system that the United States personally advocated, the results formed over the past century have been completely overturned by itself, and tariffs are changed arbitrarily, "every day, you don't know which one to believe."
The Wall Street Journal quoted the latest report from White House officials that tariffs on China will be imposed in stages. Zhao Zhongxiu believes that this plan reflects another way of the United States to blackmail high prices, by speaking out before negotiating. China believes that the premise is that the United States must first abolish its wrong practices and negotiate on the basis of equality, respect, and reciprocity.
Zhao Zhongxiu also said that it is absolutely impossible for the United States to quickly resolve the tariff war with China. Based on the analysis of the current situation, the United States adopted an extremely tough maximum pressure strategy in the initial stage, and we immediately launched a strong counterattack with a firm attitude. When the situation reached the critical node of 145%, further confrontation was meaningless, so both sides temporarily pressed the "pause button." As relevant U.S. policymakers have said, this suspension is essentially equivalent to a w88 embargo. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for bilateral w88 activities to proceed normally. At this time, the core of the competition between the two sides turns to a competition of endurance, that is, whether the U.S. market and consumers can withstand potential supply shortages for a long time, and how they will respond and make market adjustments. It can be seen that in this game, the time advantage actually lies with China.
Faced with the complex domestic economic situation and multiple obstacles at home and abroad (such as a large number of overseas investments, etc.), it will be difficult to achieve zero tariffs and zero subsidies in the foreseeable period. Zhao Zhongxiu believes that although there is a favorable time window to strive for the international moral high ground, an open strategy should be used to deal with the external closure situation. Although zero tariff represents a future development trend, it is not suitable to be fully implemented immediately. It is recommended to proceed from local and small-scale areas. At present, my country has reached cooperation with 43 countries in some fields, and has joined free w88 agreements such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). 90% of the goods in the agreement have actually implemented zero tariffs. In addition, my country’s current weighted average tariff level is only 5.3%, and tariff revenue accounts for only about 1% of total fiscal revenue. Based on this, building a higher-level open economic system is an important direction worthy of in-depth exploration and advancement at the moment.
When it is mentioned that the tariff war between China and the United States in the economic and w88 field has entered a new stage, and it is very likely to evolve into a mixed confrontation covering many fields such as science and technology. Under this situation, how China should respond has become the focus of the issue. Zhao Zhongxiu responded by pointing out, "232 Investigation" Although nominally justified based on national security, in practice it has been abused by the United States, which essentially uses technical means to contain China's development. All previous measures were superficial, and the core purpose was to restrict China's development from key technical levels. He further said that from a long-term perspective, although such restrictive measures by the United States will cause pain to China in the short term, objectively they may stimulate China's independent innovation capabilities in related fields and become an accelerator for China's scientific and technological development.
