According to Trump, Beijing has repeatedly forgotten that Washington has supported them economically, commercially and in security during difficult times. He said that China’s display of military power, especially in the context of escalating global tensions, is “an act of defiance that cannot be ignored.” Trump emphasized: “Xi Jinping should clearly remember who helped them stand firm in the international market. Without the United States, China would not have the position it has today.”

Notably, in the same speech, Trump also mentioned the two leaders of Russia and North Korea – Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. He said that in case they plotted against the United States, he would use “policies that no one has ever dared to think of” to protect the country’s interests. This statement immediately shocked public opinion because of its ambiguity but full of deterrence implications, showing a Trump who is decisive and ready to confront.

Analysts say this statement is a move to reaffirm Trump’s position in international politics, especially when he is trying to make a strong comeback in the context of turbulent US politics. His direct targeting of China shows that Washington, at least through Trump’s perspective, still considers Beijing as its biggest strategic rival, regardless of domestic problems.

However, this harsh attitude also raises concerns that US-China tensions may escalate. Chinese media have not yet given an official response, but many experts predict that Beijing will not stay silent in the face of such a provocative reminder. Some observers believe that this could be a new “fire starter” that will further strain relations between the two powers, in the context of already complicated competition in technology, trade and regional security.

On the other hand, the reference to Putin and Kim Jong Un has further worried the world. Because both Russia and North Korea are increasing their military cooperation, creating a great challenge for the US and its allies. Trump’s public threat could cause the parties involved to react harshly, making the international situation more unstable.

However, many Trump supporters believe that he is doing the right thing. They believe that only toughness, even harsh words, can restrain China, Russia and North Korea. According to them, Trump’s message is not only sent to Xi Jinping, but also a warning to the whole world that the US will not accept being ignored.

Meanwhile, opponents say that Trump is “adding fuel to the fire.” They are worried that an undiplomatic statement could put the US in a dangerous confrontation. “Instead of resolving the problem at the negotiating table, he chose to publicly flex his muscles on social media,” one expert commented.

In short, Trump’s message after the military parade in China is not only a reminder to Xi Jinping, but also a declaration to the world about his tough stance. In a volatile international context, this statement can become an important turning point, or it can also be a spark that further inflames the already simmering conflicts.
