The ambivalence of someU.S.officials has been fully revealed by their recent ridiculous remarks.
On one hand, they hopeChinato make huge purchases of U.S agricultural products to relieve their pressured American farmers. On the other hand, they are holding tight to the bigotry, the so-called “defendingAmerica’s 5G future,” and keeping blockingChina’s high-tech firms. In addition, the desire to impose additional tariffs on $325 billion worth of Chinese imports is still lingering on their mind.
It’s possibly true that they do want to reach a trade deal withChina, but they are still putting on dramas and failing to see the core of the issue.
What’s the basis of mutual respect and equality? Can both parties accommodate each other’s concerns? Does theU.S.have the determination and perseverance to work withChinato reach a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement? These questions are unavoidable and must be answered by theU.S.side.
Chinaneither has the motivation to hurt the interests of theU.S., nor has done anything to threat the latter. Lies from some unfriendlyUSofficials are still lies no matter what stories are fabricated.
Does theU.S.have enemies? If the answer is yes, its enemy can only be its own arrogance.
It’s difficult for someU.S.officials who pursue a philosophy of “me-first” to adhere to equality and mutual respect. Unfortunately, they are not living in a barbarian world where the law of the jungle rules. Though theU.S.is the largest economy on the planet, it can never dominate the world at its will.
