Early Andnbsp; Andnbsp; Northern Remember
Teacher Ye, a retired teacher in Shanghai, does not need any education to know the danger of the Sino -US trade war.Mr. Ye's residence was once the French Concession.After the 19th century Opium War, the French Concession was one of the areas of China that was ceded to foreign powers, and it was the stigma mark of the largest defeat of trade in Chinese history.
The "New York Times" on Wednesday described this vivid story, and clicked on the Sino -US trade war and the Opium War, which is in progress.At that time, China exported a large number of tea, porcelain and silk to the West, but rarely imported Western products, resulting in a huge trade surplus between Chinese and Western. Britain was exported to China to balance trade with opium, and defeated China in the Opium War.
Time has changed, and today's trade imbalances have been changed from Britain to the United States.
The memory of that period of history has stirred some Chinese inner humiliation and anger in today's trade war.Therefore, they also believe that China must fight hard, and today China should no longer be bullied by the powers.
It is necessary to clarify that the history of the Opium War in the 19th century was different from today.Not to mention that China is no longer in the Qing dynasty, not a minority rule, nor is it far from the situation of closed self -defense and backward technology. What's more is that the opium trade was essentially a controversial injury -harmful behavior;
In contrast, some reasons for the launch of the trade war against China today are required to open up markets and protect intellectual property rights. This does not violate the its own goals and long -term interests of China's reform and opening up.
The contradiction between China and the United States exists in the rhythm and method of opening up to the outside world.
Of course, it is also necessary to say fairly that the United States also has the goal of slowing down China's development and preventing China from becoming American competitors. This is also related to the negative attitudes of the American political, business, and academic elites in the United States in recent years.
In any case, the Opium War and the Sino -US trade war are common, that is, the West once again tried to pry open the door to China with external forces.China is a passive side and is also in a downwind.
In addition to the crackdown caused by the ZTE incident to the psychological psychology of Chinese society, the U.S.'s tariffs on imported goods of US $ 200 billion from 10%to 25%have also greatly exceeded China.Come back to the United States.
Recently, the cause of the trade war on the China Internet has been controversial. The stock market, which was originally fragile, fell to the bottom of the stock disaster after January 2016. The RMB exchange rate went softened.Direct pressure formed by China.
Based on the above, combined with the content of the Politburo meeting of the Communist Party of China on July 31, the CCP official media published Andrdquo; the reasons for the declaration of the declaration of the declaration of the declaration.
On July 31, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China made an AND "steady and changing Andrdquo; Andrdquo; to indicate that the economy Andrd" faces some new problems and new challenges, and the external environment has changed significantly Andrdquo;Subsequently, Xinhua News Agency and "People's Daily" issued an Andrdquo;
This is to cooperate with Andrdquo; on the one hand, it strives to guide social public opinion. On the other hand, it also gives the public to cheer up, call for solidarity, and prepare for the spirit.This battle must be played, and may even be a signal of lasting war and consumption.
Although there are reports from time to time, China and the United States are brewing to restart negotiations, but when President Trump repeateds impermanence and China and the United States lacks mutual trust, Chinese senior officials will not imagine trade issues in the short term through negotiations.
Moreover, Andrdquo; one side has been in the city, and he is reluctant to escape without resistance without resistance. He must always resist for a while, otherwise he will only be forced to make more and thorough concessions.Besides, the Chinese people who have undergone the baptism of humiliation and historic education will not promise the country to make concessions easily.
It must be fighting, which means that China will operate with heavyweight US imported products such as crude oil, which may affect the vital interests of Chinese consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage the society and "against the wind and rain andrdquo;
However, it should also be noted that Chinese officials still have more careful control of the intensity and scope of confrontation with the United States, and the media and public opinion have not yet launched a large -scale anti -American wave and the movement of resistance to US goods.
This is contrasting with the situation when there was a contradiction between China, Japan, China and South Korea in the past. Japanese restaurants, Japanese cars were smashed, and the fate of the resistance of Korean supermarkets did not happen to US companies and US goods. It can be seen that China is still restrained.
With the upgrading of the trade war, will China be sacrificed for non -trade means, such as mobilizing social levels, or selling US Treasury bonds?These possibilities cannot be ruled out, but from the long -term interests, China should try to avoid the upgrading of the trade war into a comprehensive confrontation between China and the United States.
The so -called research and judgment of "stable and changing Andrdquo; and can also be interpreted as Andrdquo; in the United States plan, the United States also believes that the Chinese society has certain tolerance and toughness in the trade war.
The next step should be to let the so -called "wind and rain andrdquo; stay in Andrdquo; just go to the tragic and" storm andrdquo;, It should be the common expectations of the world. After all, the comprehensive confrontation between China and the United States will be a world disaster, and it is difficult for anyone to avoid.
