BREAKING: US Vice President JD Vance Made Positive Statements About China Tariffs
US Vice President JD Vance offered messages aimed at easing tensions that rose on Friday following President Donald Trump's announcement to raise tariffs against China to 100%.
Vance made the following statement in his press release:
- “We appreciate the friendship between President Trump and President Xi.”
- “President Trump hopes the US will not have to use ‘coercive power’ against China.”
- “President Trump is willing to engage in reasonable negotiations with China.”
These statements followed Beijing's stern warnings to Washington, with China's Commerce Ministry accusing Washington of escalating tensions after the Trump administration announced plans to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese imports and export controls on some critical software as of November 1.
“Threatening with high tariffs is not the right way to build healthy relations with China,” a ministry spokesperson said in a statement released by state news agency Xinhua. “China's stance on the trade war is clear: We don't want war, but we are not afraid of it.”
The spokesman also signaled possible retaliation, saying, “If the United States persists on the wrong path, China will take decisive action to protect its legitimate rights.”

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
