Paramilitary officers change guard in front of the portrait of the late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China May 7, 2019. - Reuters: China is digging in for a tough period of deteriorating ties with the United States, fanning the flames of patriotism with Korean War films, a viral song on the trade war, and editorials lambasting Washington.
It echoes President Xi Jinping’s tough stance when he called on cadres earlier this week to brace themselves for a “new Long March” - recalling the legendary strategic retreat by Communist revolutionaries in the 1930s who regrouped and went on to triumph in 1949.The world’s top two economies will “go through a long period of irrational conflict,“ said Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, at a government organised briefing Wednesday.
Since Trump raised tariffs on US$200 billion in Chinese goods in mid-May, the Communist Party mouthpiecehas been running a daily column tag-lined “an alarm bell”, rejecting Trump’s arguments that China’s rise was leading to American losses. An interview last week with the telecom giant’s founder, Ren Zhengfei, was one of the top trending topics on China’s Twitter-like microblogging platform Weibo.
