#TrumpVsChina

On April 25, Trump told TIME's reporter:

🗣️ "I will finish all these deals in 3 to 4 weeks. If any country needs adjustments, I will consider it. But basically, it's done."

- But when asked about China, Trump said, "I am meeting with China, everything is fine."

- But then he mentioned he wouldn't call Mr. Xi if Mr. Xi didn't call first.

- Then turned around and said, "Mr. Xi has called already." But... didn't say when he called.

💥 The U.S. raised tariffs on 60 countries at the beginning of April,

then temporarily postponed for 3 months to negotiate.

Keeping the tariff rate at 10% while waiting for countries to come to Washington to sign the deal.

🌏 Countries are rushing to the U.S.

As for China... still hasn't moved.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said:

"No negotiations are currently taking place"

"The U.S. should not deceive the public"

China also demands the U.S.:

- Stop disparaging other countries

- Clearly designate a person in charge of negotiations

- Respect issues such as Taiwan and sanctions

🧠 Wu Xinbo, an advisor to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said:

🗯️ "Trump thinks China is weak, so imposing tariffs will force China to surrender. But China is not collapsing, nor will it surrender."

📉 Wu warned that the U.S. is misjudging and not well-prepared for this confrontation.

"The trade war will last many months, even a few years."

📊 The U.S. has imposed a 145% tariff on most Chinese goods since Trump took office.

- China retaliated. Tensions are threatening global trade.

🧯 Although China says it is ready to negotiate, it is still waiting for the U.S. to make concessions and lift unilateral tariffs.

Meanwhile, Beijing is not in a hurry, as "time is on China's side."
