The wind of the recent trade war in the United States has begun to blow again. According to a report by the global network, Ms. Tai Qi, the U.S. Trade Representative, made a declaration of "fair competition" in front of a group of media cameras in the glorious hall of the White House on May 14. She said that the United States will not stop China from moving forward, but it must pay attention to the rules of the game, and make it clear that it will wield the big stick of tariffs, saying that it is defending the rights and interests of its own workers. Sounds grandiose, right?
But let's take a closer look, the taste behind this is not so simple. Some people say that when the country is strong, the free market is a treasure; Once you feel like you're underneath your feet, tariffs become a moat. This move by the United States seems to be maintaining fairness, but it is actually a helpless move in the face of the rise of China's manufacturing power. You know, these industries targeted by the tariffs, such as electric vehicles, battery technology, and solar panels, the United States has gone from leading to chasing, or even out of reach.
Netizens left a message: "The United States has been de-industrialized for decades, and you want to turn back? It's hard! Just like the old saying in our countryside, if you want to grow crops on barren land, you have to work hard. Another netizen pointed out sharply: "To put it bluntly, this is just on the globalization track, and when I find that I am physically exhausted, I want to pull a rope and trip my opponent." It's just an umbrella for the decline of American manufacturing"
Say a thousand things and ten thousand, who is this trade war a wake-up call? Is it a reminder for the United States to face up to the shortcomings of its manufacturing industry, or does it herald another reshuffle in the global trade pattern?
Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a score in mind? You may wish to leave your opinions in the comment area, and let's discuss how to sing this international trade drama next!
