#特朗普暂停新关税 Recently, the international economic and trade circle has been quite lively. The tariff policy of the Trump administration is as thrilling as a roller coaster — just after pausing high tariffs on 75 countries, it immediately opened fire on China, even declaring, "If you don't compromise, don't expect a reduction in tariffs!" What’s going on with this "tariff offensive and defensive battle"? Let's take it slow and discuss~
1. Trump's "Tariff Swing Dance": What exactly is he calculating?
Recently, Trump's attitude has been more changeable than the weather in April! On April 22, he said, "Tariffs on China may drop significantly," giving the market a "peace of mind pill." However, just three days later, aboard "Air Force One," he directly reversed his stance: "China must make substantial concessions, or there’s no talk of tariff reductions!"
Have you all noticed? This move is actually Trump's "classic routine": on one hand, he is coaxing other countries to sit down and talk (pausing tariffs on 75 countries as a "sweetener"), while on the other hand, he is intensifying pressure on China (raising tariffs to 125%, a historic high). To put it bluntly, he wants to "isolate China + exert extreme pressure," forcing us to make concessions in core areas such as technology and market access. But China is not to be underestimated; the embassy in the U.S. responded firmly: "Want to negotiate? First, cancel all unilateral tariffs! Threatening while negotiating? No way!"
