On the beginning of a trade war, which began to fall into the collapse of relations between the world's largest economy, was first first to blink.
President Trump, who made a violator to convert the modern global trading system with tariffs with tariffs on one side, only to lower the import duties for each country.
On the other hand, Xi Jinping is the head leader of the Chinese leader who has a well-winning reputation to refuse to give the product. He clung to the intense covig restrictions of China past the point they work. Went out of purpose Make China leader Although in electric vehicles and solar panels, despite the excitement of trade partners about the cheap exports flood.
Now Mr. XI is true for shape, as it may be the largest test of the leadership since the pandemic. On Friday, the government has increased Mr. Trump, a long-term trade warfare, despite the concerns that China can deepen the economic pump, raised the import of the United States to 125 percent. Prior to this announcement, Mr. Xi hit a confident note in his first public statements about the trade demonstration.
“It will not win the tariff war and go against the world,” said Mr. Xi, Mr. Trump, or the United States openly said while visiting Pekin Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
“For more than 70 years, China has always rely on self-confidence and hard work for development,” Mr. Xi continued. “He did not trust anybody's gifts and was not afraid to invest any unfounded.”
Mr. Xi can allow you to be more stubborn than the American counterpart.
As the strongest Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, he covered themselves with commitments, cleaned his opponents and applied strong social control to stain the opposition. He brought himself a strong compiled with a nationalist vision of China. Authorities mobilized state funds to stabilize Chinese financial markets, because the shares around the world have plunged to tariffs.
“XI stiffened his whole career at the moment,” he said. “It is likely that the Chinese political system is superior to Americans, because it is a greater unity and discipline, which will probably sacrifice the Chinese people for a national rejuvenation mission.”
Mr. Xi can play a long game. There are no elections in China to have elections and powers to judge an indefinite period restricted the term president In 2018, Mr. Trump must leave his office in 2029 (although he proposed to oppose the Constitution and the third run in the white house).
Mr. Xi can also report frequent warnings about Western hostility, but also to provide a trade war due to other needs in the expense of other necessities. Mr. Trump's decision to give each country, adjusting a Chinese tariffs strengthens this narrative.
“In fact, XI Jinping will allow you to be responsible for the lack of economic growth in China. This is the” Free Prison Free “card,” he said. “Chinese citizens and business leaders will be able to see it out of control.”
China's propaganda rallies for a struggle to extend the country.
People's daily, judge communist party, the mouth of the Washington, published an editorial resembling a band. Chinese diplomats, a formal call for “Diplomatic Demir Army”, a formally called the Diplomatic Damental Army, “Diplomatic Demir Army”, boldly to fight, courage and struggle to fight and seriously regulate. “
A high Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, the Foreign Ministry in the X was found in Mao Zedong's Mao Zedong during the Korean War, “The more we will last.
“We are China. We are not afraid of provocations. We do not return,” said Mao Mao.
Dali Yang, who examined the Chinese policy, said that such messaging continues.
“Undoubtedly, the United States and especially Trump and its fast actions and its fast movements and the reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse and reverse,” he said.
For all strength, Mr. Xi says analysts, not immune to popular dissatisfaction. China is convinced that you are painful from Mr. Trump's tariffs, which reached at least 145 percent – a amazing figure that has $ 400 billion in the country's largest market.
Already, American consumers have factories close to Guangzhou's production center closed until the tariffs are more clarified. If such gardens were spread, they were able to increase the problem of unemployment, and politicians make an economy's property crisis and confidence in confidence.
For Mr. Xi, the test is likely to be able to maintain the ordinary Chinese people in the Chinese people and tolerate any economic pain from the trade war.
When Mr. Xi encounters a problem on this scale on this scale – Coronavirus Pandemic – the answer was the pride point for many Chinese. For more than two years, it keeps China's covig numbers in envy with mass testing and snap locks.
But he fortified In 2022, this strict policy was learned to live with the virus to the well of the world. Anger over mass locks has caused some of the greatest protests in China for decades. Residence in the direction of the country an extreme Wealthy Chinese and professional class members.
“The Chinese population may not be sacrificial after the coviet,” Mr. Torigian. “The economy has struggled to return. I'm very doubting that Xi Jinping is blind to this problem.”
“Economic dislocations are still dangerous, because you think that doubts and a jingoist story are still dangerous for those who attract attention and a jingoist story, because you never know how bad it will be,” said Mr Torigian.
This economic reality, Mr. Xi, is likely that if Mr. Trump's proposal is likely to accept a decline from the tariff screening. China said that this did not want a trade war, but the officials insisted that any transaction would depend on the United States, which treated China as equal to China.
Mr. Trump, Mr. Xi, who has been a friend for a long time, took a gentle tone.
“We'll see what happened to China,” Mr Trump said. “We would like to know a deal.”
