“If it goes successfully, at least the tariffs will be lowered down to a level that at least part of the trade can be resumed. I don’t expect to solve the problems once for all. At current levels, tariff levels, it’s an embargo, as (U.S. Secretary of Treasury) Scott Bessent has stated. So that’s just not acceptable for both sides, I would say.”

“There is a possibility actually, that China can walk away from it. I think the Chinese side emphasized very clearly this has to be an equitable negotiation. Another very important point Beijing has made is that this whole thing is started by Washington unilaterally. So it’s up to Washington to first take actions to at least partially address this problem. So I think if Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent doesn’t go into this negotiation with this kind of mindset, it’s going to be very difficult.”

“We are going to see empty shelves at Walmart, at Target, at Macy’s, this is just unprecedented in the United States and I would guess it will impose a huge political cost on the Trump administration. I don’t think President (Donald) Trump would like to see that. This is definitely something that has to be avoided, I would say.”

“So this is something Beijing understands very well. Essentially, I think what Beijing is doing is trying to teach Washington a lesson that decoupling is not as easy as you would imagine, and this is what you get if you want decoupling, right?”

“You don’t see a sort of cross-society panic about the loss of such a big business (in China). The business sentiment, the consumer confidence is still OK. I don’t think it has been much affected at all at this point. So I would say the pain is or can be insulated, and I think this is the strength of the Chinese government that it can withstand the pain – the greater pain and much longer pain.”
