Tango is a Double Dance

Yes, the famous Latin tango, which the Argentines are broud of, depends on the harmony between two dancers, often between a handsome young man and a lively girl. Thus, when the undeclared trade war between the United States and China is likely to be addressed as a folkloric dance of the loving people’s heritage, it takes an analytical pause and a microscopic follow-up of diplomatic responses between officials from both poles, China and America. The Chinese ambassador to the United States following the US statements on China’s imposition of new tariffs on US products, saying that “Beijing prefers to resolve the trade dispute with Washington negotiations.” Although the Chinese Ambassador’s statement is diplomatic and balanced with the standard of international relations, it carries with it the parity and the great economic strength that China has reached to be an instrument of the American economy. The Chinese made his gesture. The American respond to this statement was highly observed. “Negotiation would still be our preference, but it takes two to tango,” US Acting Secretary of State John Sullivan responded.

In this article, we will return to the theme of tango, but we must raise an important question on the issue of trade war between China and America, who benefits from this trade war? Who is the loser? Of course it is not intended here, which poles will be the beneficiary and who is the loser, China or America?! The world is becoming increasingly associated with the trading system as trade and trade-sharing expand. The European continent eagerly awaits all developments following US and Chinese decisions on import duties for both countries. The surplus of bands that will not be sent to any of the poles because of those decisions may be in a cheaper way to another Tango player.

Without a doubt, the jig is between two. Naturally, the two are connected and close. But do they need to be lovers? Well yes, if the dance is on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Their love stories end with marriage and a long-term agreement. But the Chinese do not know how to dance in harmony and in balanced steps like tango moves. Trump may misjudge his position on the Chinese foot, and the dance will change from Tango to Tacondo.
