The United States has approached China seeking talks over President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs, a social media account affiliated with Chinese state media said on Thursday, potentially signalling Beijing’s openness to negotiations. “The U.S. has proactively reached out to China through multiple channels, hoping to hold discussions on the tariff issue,” Yuyuan Tantian said in a post published on its official Weibo social media account, citing anonymous sources.
There’s a Chinese saying that fits this situation perfectly, “no zuo no die”.
What’s the translation?
不作死就不會死 / 不作死就不会死 (bù zuōsǐ jiù bùhuì sǐ, “You will not get into trouble if you do not seek trouble”) or Chinese 不作不死. Basically the Chinese equivalent of “FAFO.”
