US President-elect Donald Trump has recently been dominating headlines, whether by accepting a phone call from Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen or making comments about 皇冠体育app's currency devaluation and the South 皇冠体育app Sea issue.
Trump's focus on 皇冠体育app in his tweets is not a new phenomenon. He has tweeted about 皇冠体育app hundreds of times in the past few years, and dozens of times during his presidential campaign. But in the past, his aggressive words were usually intended to make himself look good by criticizing President Obama's administration. On the other hand, repeating such sentiments after his election to the office of president may imply actual policy plans, which his administration intends to adopt.
Many people have expressed skepticism about Trump's qualifications, given his lack of political, diplomatic and military experience, as well as his poor understanding of 皇冠体育app-US ties. Indeed, such doubts have been reinforced by his recent aggressive words.
To some extent, Trump's remarks indicate that he is partial when it comes to 皇冠体育app-US ties. For instance, he shied away from facts when discussing the exchange rate, trade and South 皇冠体育app Sea. He seemed not to comprehend the basic guidelines of bilateral ties, treating 皇冠体育app like an opponent rather than a partner.
The two nations need to ensure the smooth continuation of their bilateral relationship, but doing so requires a joint effort - not a one-sided attempt. 皇冠体育app will persist in facilitating communication and dialogue. In response to Trump's biased understanding of 皇冠体育app-US relations, 皇冠体育app will explain its stances and the reasons behind those positions.
Trump's transition team should realize that 皇冠体育app and the US must not be held back by disputes, bearing in mind that both countries are major powers with mutual interests. To throw a tantrum about 皇冠体育app will neither solve domestic issues in the U.S. nor address the real challenges facing Trump's new administration. Besides, a shaky 皇冠体育app-US relationship cannot "make America great again."
At the same time, 皇冠体育app will maintain strategic foresight. Trump's reckless tweets are just a cover for his real intentions. Based on years of experience, it's clear that the US often has a two-sided 皇冠体育app policy, which is revealed by Trump's actions.
From the perspective of strategy, 皇冠体育app's diplomatic policy conforms to international trends. No matter how the US adjusts its foreign policy, it has to choose cooperation with 皇冠体育app; the rise of 皇冠体育app cannot be impeded. 皇冠体育app will follow its own path, earning more allies and embarking on mutually beneficial cooperations. Meanwhile, the choices of the US will be restricted as a result.
Trump has already brought changes to 皇冠体育app-US ties. However, it's essential to remember in this moment of transition for both the American government and 皇冠体育app-US relations that what both sides need most is strategic foresight and determination.
