China US trade talks in Switzerland

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer will attend the talks in Europe for the United States, their offices said.

Vice Premier He Lifeng will attend for Beijing, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced. CNA


After threatening, pleading, begging, lying about talking to China, finally a meeting is arranged between the two states in Switzerland, not in the US. China would not go to the US as demanded by Trump to kiss his ass. China demanded a meeting in a neutral country, in Switzerland. And the Americans have to agree or else no talks.


The Americans are sending their Treasury Secretary Bessent for the talks and asking for Cai Qi, Xi's most trusted politburo member for the talks. Instead, China is sending a junior minister in Vice Premier He Lifeng for the meeting. No senior Chinese leader would want to meet up with the American gangsters.


This is China's way of telling the Americans that China is only listening and not serious in wanting to negotiate at this point in time until the rogue Americans back down from their hostile and aggressive tariffs. Return to square one then only serious talk can begin.


All the lies about China backing down, wanting a deal, or having talks with the Americans as claimed by the Americans were all lies. China is resolute to fight to the end, even to completely decouple with the American economy. China will now wait for Trump to go down on his knees to beg for negotiation. China knows that in less than 3 months the American consumer market would collapse and there will be uprising and rioting in every city in America. Boeing closing down plants, automobile giants closing down plants, supermarts closing, unemployment soaring, farmers going bankrupt....


China is in no hurry for a deal. Trump is desperate and panicking. Trump wants a deal asap. Xi is squeezing his balls and waiting to hear him screaming in pain. Trump is expecting China to kiss his ass, begging for a deal? Carry on dreaming.

"The two countries' escalating trade war gravely threatens their economies as well as global stability. Given the urgency of the situation, why aren't they communicating? Yale Law School's Susan Thornton weighs in." CNA


Again, this comment is trying to pain China as equally to be blamed for this trade war, that China is escalating. No, China did not escalate this trade war. China did not start this trade war. It is the Americans. China only responded to the hostile American behaviour. Stop blaming China. The rascal is the Americans, Trump and his clowns in Washington. Trump is the menace to the whole world and to the Americans.

From my source, US knew He li-feng was going to be in France for some event. So they quickly arrange for Bessent to fly over to Europe to catch him in the name of tariff negotiation.
Look at how our shit time report it:
US President Donald Trump earlier stating that trade talks with China were under way.Beijing denied this claim then, and has now framed its coming to the table as response to US request for dialogue." Aw cheng wei & Joyce Lim (SPH China correspondent)

The key word here is "framed", it try to implied that China is lying.

Scott Bessant had all along been commenting, almost on the verge of tears, that it is up to China to de-escalate. Did China start the tariff war? No! All China now wants is for the USA to remove those tariffs before talks can proceed. I hope China does not relent on its stand in Switzerland. If that condition is not fulfilled, I think the talks will be fruitless.

Scott Bessant did not answer the question of who called who for the meeting. He has no cards to play and no room to lie anymore. If he claims that China called to set up the meeting, he is bound to face the consequences from the Chinese side, who may not want to talk to him in Switzerland by lying. Neither can he tell everyone that it is the USA that called China first. Trump is trying to be tough by saying that he is not going to reduce the tariffs against China. Trying to pretend to be negotiating in a position of strength has never worked against China. How is that going to have any chance of success at the talks in Switzerland is something I am beginning to wonder?

The story told by Scott Bessant was that the Chinese were in Switzerland, probably building bridges as usual and the USA heard about it. How co-incidental that the USA was also going to Switzerland, the right place and the right time to meet the Chinese. Think about it!

This claim of the USA meeting the Chinese for the 'first time' blew away all the lies by Trump and his administration over the weeks, claiming that they were talking to the Chinese. The Chinese categorically denied such talks ever happened. Now, who had been lying all along is not hard to figure out.

That also brings into focus the claim that 200 countries out of 195 in the world are queuing up to kiss Trump's arse according to the administration. Sometime lying has to have some semblance of credibility, and the 200 countries plucked from the air tells the whole story of how blatant the USA can lie. Scott Bessant also revealed a pertinent point about the most important country missing from the queue - China is not looking to negotiate.

Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that the meeting was called by the Americans. China is meeting the Europeans, did not go there specifically to meet the Americans. This meeting is just a side show, a by the way thing, since you were here. Very likely the Chinese would just listen and say thank you for the dinner.

The Europeans probably alerted the Yankees. They then invented the story that they were going to Switzerland, and the Chinese just happened to be there. Nice little story to cover up its desperation to talk to the Chinese.
