Why Xi Jinping will remain hard against Donald Trump – Diepresse.com
Beijing will not bow to the pressure from US President Trump so quickly, but wants to assert its influence in the world in conflict with the United States. The population is now behind the KP leadership.
Vienna/Beijing. « China’s growth was based on independence and hard work for more than seven decades. Never gave way back to irrational oppression. » For the first time, Xi Jinping personally spoke out on Friday to the greatest dismissal in the US relationships in half a century. The head of state and party thus increased martial tones from his state apparatus, which swore a “fight to the end” against the US criminal measures. The Foreign Ministry in Beijing even referred to a speech by state founder Mao Zedong, in which he conjured up resistance to the United States in the Korean War.
On Friday, Beijing reacted to the latest US customs charges of 145 percent: 125 percent will be due to US goods from Saturday. The Ministry of Commerce in Beijing described the tariffs that bring the goods traffic between the United States and China practically to a standstill. They are a pure number game and would be bullying. Beijing will no longer go into this, it said, but threatened other countermeasures.
