In recent days, the U.S. government has imposed so-called "reciprocal tariffs" on global trading partners, including China. What impact will this round of tariff hikes have on China-U.S. economic and trade relations? In a recent interview with China News Network, Josef Gregory Mahoney, an American political science professor at East China Normal University, stated that tariffs are merely a short-term tactic and are destined to fail in delivering positive outcomes from a long-term perspective.

　　As U.S. President Donald Trump authorized a 90-day suspension of tariffs on countries or regions that do not retaliate, the country is concentrating efforts to continue pressuring China. Regarding this, Mahoney warned that this strategy of "isolating China" could backfire on the U.S. itself. If other countries do nothing, they'll risking facing the devil again soon enough.
