During the Sino-American Geneva talks, the following results were achieved:
🔹🇺🇸 U.S. side 10%+20%
🔹🇨🇳 Our side 10%+
The previous tariffs of 100+ were unrealistic and could not be sustained.
Trump mentioned in his book "The Art of The Deal":
"My style of deal-making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Sometimes I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want."
Literal translation: "My style of deal-making is very simple and direct. I first throw out a very high target, and then keep exerting pressure to get what I want. Occasionally, I may accept conditions lower than the initial target, but in most cases, I still get the result I desire."
The 100+ tariffs should be the "very high target" thrown out initially, proposing extreme demands first, then making concessions to reasonable demands.
It's similar to the "demolition effect": "This room is too dark, saying to open a skylight here, everyone would definitely not allow it. But if you argue to tear off the roof, they will come to negotiate and be willing to open a skylight."
So has Trump reached his true intentions? Some also say these tariff policies are essentially targeting the distribution issues within the U.S. What do you think?
