The Swiss president was in Washington last week when President Donald Trump threatened to lobby US officials about Swiss Goods, the Swiss Foreign Minister was in Beijing, strengthening cooperation with China and upgrading a free trade agreement.
When Trump’s trade war locks the two largest economies in the world in a conflict course, American allies and partners are cooperating with China to hed their bats. Trump’s trade push has been a decade of American foreign policy – from its first term – other parts of the world, along with other parts of the world to join the United States against China, are on the verge of rally. And it threatens to lift Beijing further in any last dialogue with the US administration.
Trump said that countries are “kissing my ass” to discuss for a trade agreement on the strict import tax of its terms or risk, Beijing has reached far and near countries. It portrays itself as a stable energy and an estimate trading partner, both to cush down the effect of Trump’s tariff and build a stronger trade relationship outside the US market.
“The United States and China are now in a serious competition for global domination,” Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wang said in a speech on April 16. “Both power claims that they do not want to force the parties to choose the parties. But in reality everyone tries to bring others closer to their respective orbit.”
Trump has given some of its steep tariffs on most American partners for 90 days after the global financial markets have melted.

China is also ready to use sticks. A South Korean newspaper reports that China is demanding South Korean business in US defense agencies not to supply the rare earth of mineral products or to face potential sanctions.
Earlier this month, Beijing warned that no country could reach an agreement with the United States at the expense of China and such a situation should be raised “Scene -OLUTE and mutual way”.
Senior Fellow Hal Brands of the American Enterprise Institute in Washington says China “will try to exploit Trump’s harmful behavior to enter the world south with US allies and countries.”
Some scholars say Beijing is already acquiring. “The United States, especially in the United States, had lost confidence or even confidence in the United States, especially in the United States,” said Lee Cheng, a professor at Hong Kong University. “So in that case, China gains in the geological natural scene.”

“They cannot choose one or the other, because they both need it,” said Goodman.

Victor Gao, vice president of China and globalization, says Beijing is ready for decopling. “What’s the last one? It’s a completely stopping, which means that the US is no longer exported to China, the United States is no longer exported to the United States,” he said.
