China in the customs dispute with the United States: Weakening the enemy of the economic arch

Seoul pelvis | The leadership of the Chinese party officially emphasized that they “want to fight to the end in the customs dispute with the United States.” However, now she quietly and secretly provided the enemy of the economic arch of several weakening: American products from the healthcare system, according to the visible, were excluded from 125 -percent import duties, as well as some goods from aviation and chemistry sectors. The US Chamber of Commerce in Beijing confirmed this on Friday.

Firstly, however, Kajin reported this impressive change in the paradigm. The famous Chinese financial magazine has retained certain independence thanks to its well -mesh editor, despite the fact that the media in the state.

Caidzhin wrote about entrepreneurs in the southern province of Guangdun, according to which some American computer chips were excluded from tariffs. Nevertheless, it is especially interesting that the article remained on the Internet only for a short time. A few hours later the censors entered. And state authorities have not yet commented on a delicate question.

The press secretary of Go Jiakun only evaded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Foreign Affairs: “I am not familiar with the situation described. I suggest you find out with Chinese supervisory organs. ” In any case, Demin looks different.

“We gave up?”

But why does China manage such secrecy? For markets, news about the alleged housing in a trading dispute is finally the reason to be happy. In the end, this proves that the fronts are not as stuck as they are usually supposed. But the Chinese community is obviously “not surprised.”

“We gave up?” He asks the stunned user in the comment column of the Caijing article before it was deleted. Another says: “Look, as if someone really wants to do business with the Americans.” And another reader comments: “There was never a lack of traitors in history.”

In a sense, unofficial weakening actually receives betrayal. For several weeks, the party’s leadership is scolded by its people in order to remain tough against the United States.

Of course, the door for the dialogue was opened at any time, for example, the representative of the Foreign Office, Gyakun, always repeats. But: “Dialogue and negotiations should be based on equality, respect and mutual benefit.”

USA like a “bully”

Demonstrative patriotism is quite well accepted by most Chinese. Finally, they see the US government as a “hooligan”, which wants to restrain the growth of the People’s Republic. And Donald Trump gave the strict Liners his customs policy in all points correctly. In short: most of the population currently supports a duel against the United States, even if measurements of economic force are likely to lead to a loss of wealth.

But the flexible attitude of Beijing is by no means new. “China has already used such liberal customs liberation in the latest trade war, so as not to upset the internal audience, on the one hand, but at the same time to facilitate the negative economic consequences,” expert Martin Chortzpa from the Washington analytical tank “Peterson’s Washington Tank” commented.

However, current customs reserves can also be short -term housing. In any case, KP Politburo again called on Friday to plan sufficient for the “worst case” in a trading dispute. And until now, both sides, it seems, can not even agree on the main facts.

While Trump repeatedly declared to journalists so that they were in daily negotiations with the Chinese, the central government in Beijing is denied. The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the GO: “There were no consultations or negotiations on the customs issue between China and the United States. Therefore, the United States should not confuse the public. ”
