Weekend meeting is going to be held in Switzerland to reduce the sky touching tariffs between the US and China. But before that both countries are saying that earlier you have called or called me for this conversation. Overall, Beijing and Washington have been put in an oral duality. According to PTI news, this duality has shaken the financial markets and has created concerns about the global economy. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Gian said on Wednesday that the meeting was being held at the request of the US side, which US President Donald Trump disagreed. Trump said that we took the initiative? Okay, I think they should go back and study their files. Trump said this on Wednesday, swearing in David Pardeu as a new US ambassador to China.
Beijing denied this
According to the news, after this, for several weeks, the two sides indicated that the other side had approached the first, including Trump’s indication that Chinese President Xi Jinping called him, but Beijing denied it. When it comes to the world’s two largest economies that are preparing themselves for difficult trade talks, it is not a minor thing to publicly back and forth. Craig Singleton, senior director of the China program at Washington -based Think Tank Foundation for Defense of Democracy, said that the first contact passion is a pseudo -fight over leverage. For Washington, indicating that Beijing took the initiative of the meeting, confirms the statement that tariffs are working. For Beijing, refusal to contact maintains the illusion of equality and avoids domestic perception of weakness.
Competition for dominance
Former American diplomat Daniel Russell, who oversee East Asian and Pacific affairs, described the exchange to some extent diplomatic deadlock and some extent dominance. In his decades of career as a diplomat, Russell said that he does not know a single example when a Chinese leader has initiated a call with the US President. This may be proud, it can be a protocol, but for Beijing, to be a demander is to show weakness – and it is something that the Chinese system is hard to avoid. Russell said, who is now the Vice President of International Security and Diplomacy at the Asia Society Policy Institute.
What does it matter what happens in the conversation
Shortly after Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145 percent and 125 percent tariffs by Beijing by Beijing, Trump suggested that China was interacting with his administration, like many other countries, like many other countries. On 22 April, he clearly directed the White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewitt to say that we are doing great in relation to the potential trade deal with China. By Thursday, Trump appeared ready to move forward. Trump said that we can all play games – who made the first call, who did not do. It does not matter. Referring to the tariff talks to be held in Switzerland this weekend, Trump said that only what happens in that room.
