President Donald Trump called on China to reach out to him in order to kick off negotiations...
“The ball is in China’s court. China needs to make a deal with us. We don’t have to make a deal with them,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, reading a statement Trump dictated. “There’s no difference between China and any other country except they are much larger, and China wants what we have, what every country wants, what we have — the American consumer.”
Victor Gao on the possibility of China losing the U.S. market:
“We don’t care.
China has been here for 5,000 years —most of that time, there was no United States. And we Survived. And if the United States wants to bully China, we will deal with the situation without the United States. And we expect to survive for another 5,000 years..”
