"Business Daily" comments: Sino-US competition is surging, Trump lacks strategy towards China

"Business Daily" commented that although Trump calls Xi Jinping a "friend", the essence of Sino-US relations is competition rather than friendship. China exerts pressure on the global market through overcapacity, but Trump lacks a clear strategy for China and only handles affairs based on intuition and personal relationships. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent announced that China and the United States have agreed to extend the trade truce for two months to avoid escalating the trade war and damaging economic growth. The guest commentary of "Cologne City Zeitung" emphasized that there is deep-rooted mutual distrust between China and the United States. Although there are signs of easing relations, this is only an expedient measure based on interests. Trump once won the election by demonizing China, but was later forced to concede due to countermeasures. In October 2025, Trump and Xi Jinping held talks in Busan and signed a one-year trade agreement. The United States lowered tariffs, and China suspended rare earth export controls and increased imports of U.S. agricultural products. Xi Jinping's visit to the United States was considered relatively harmonious because the two countries had no choice but to extend the trade ceasefire due to the poor economic situation of the two countries.
