Originally, CCTV6 was rumored to broadcast the movie "New York, I Love You" this afternoon, but now it has been changed. It should be because they are worried about the market overreacting. The joint statement was specially chosen to be issued after the market. I know that people who don't understand will ask, what can broadcasting a movie represent?
If you don't believe it, look at the things that happened in history.
In 2005, Sino-Japanese relations were tense, and the six princesses broadcast "Raise Your Hands".
In 2014, during the Scottish independence referendum, the six princesses broadcast "Brave Heart".
In 2015, during the Paris riots in France, the six princesses broadcast "Les Miserables".
In 2019, during the Hong Kong incident, the six princesses broadcast "I Am Your Mother".
In 2021, when the US military withdrew from Afghanistan, the six princesses broadcast "A Dog's Way Home".
So people who understand know how to look at the information behind it, and only those who don't understand will keep making all kinds of guesses and conspiracy theories.
In fact, if you observe carefully, the result of this meeting should be predictable. Why? Because the American official in charge of negotiating with us this time is US Treasury Secretary Bessant. This guy is almost the only "main negotiator" among the core members of Trump's team. Logically, things like diplomatic negotiations should be more likely to be handled by officials such as the US Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, and Trade Representative. Although there are cases where the Treasury Secretary is directly sent to negotiate, it is indeed a minority. So why does the United States arrange it this way?
The reason is very simple, because US Secretary of State Rubio is almost blacklisted by us.
US Commerce Secretary Lutnick and Trade Advisor Navarro are hardcore "main war factions". If these people are sent to talk to us, we may not even meet with the Americans, because it is meaningless and a pure waste of time.
So when the Americans sent Treasury Secretary Bessant out for negotiations, they were actually sending us a friendly message - Brother Panda, I really want to have a good talk with you this time.
Moreover, the location of this meeting was chosen with great wisdom. Geneva, Switzerland in Europe, is not only a permanent neutral country, but also one of the places where China's diplomacy has achieved major results. At the Geneva Conference in 1954, Premier Zhou amazed the world here.
