The evolution of trade conflicts seems to be caught in a peculiar cycle. On the surface, we see grandiose headlines and eye-catching tariff lists. However, the reality is a series of delays and easing measures. This phenomenon inevitably brings to mind a war that is forever stuck in the trailer stage.

Both sides have placed their chips on the table, using them to negotiate, seek voter support, and stabilize the economy. However, a true comprehensive conflict does not seem to be on the horizon. This strategy has its advantages: it can maintain pressure and keep the public's attention. However, it also has clear disadvantages: it continuously erodes market trust, and over time, people may become numb to these statements, merely listening without engagement.

This situation resembles a protracted tug-of-war in a carefully orchestrated political script rather than a real battlefield with actual weapons. Both sides are cautiously weighing each move, trying to maximize their benefits without triggering a real conflict.

This complex game makes one ponder: in today's globalized world, can traditional trade tactics still be effective? Perhaps we are witnessing a new type of international economic game, where threats and compromises intertwine, creating a unique balance.

Regardless, this seemingly endless 'preview' is profoundly affecting the global economic landscape. Governments, businesses, and investors around the world need to seek new opportunities and balance points amid this uncertainty.
