1978 is an important year for modern Chinese history.The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in December of that year, the ideological line of realistic seeking to seek truth was re -established, and the focus of work was transferred to economic construction, laying the foundation for reform and opening up.In Xiaogang Village in Anhui Province, it also abandoned the working model of the production brigade at almost time, and changed to the rural family joint production contract responsibility system.
This model was then implemented throughout the country, which directly led to the abolition of the people's commune system.The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee concluded and the actual change system of Xiaogang Village has carried out China's reform and opening up.
By 2018, it has been 40 years of reform and opening up.After 40 years, when we moved towards a well -off well, we ushered in a trade war that suddenly reached the world's largest economy.
Regarding the trade war in all aspects of economy, diplomacy, and international relations, relevant experts have made technical discussions.The author hopes to discuss a basic question, that is, the Chinese government and the people should use to face the trade war.
Learn from the United States with a learning attitude
The author believes that the first mentality is to learn the spirit.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs often emphasized that the United States is not an enemy, and this should not be just diplomatic words.We really should not learn from the United States with a learning attitude.After 40 years of reform and opening up, after multiple stages, we slowly found our own direction in economic development. When we successfully entered the WTO, we also rejoiced our Andrdquo; the rules of the world.
When we thought that it was logical to gradually become the world's largest economy through these rules, we found that the strongest opponent was not how to and "play Andrdquo; this game, but directly changed the rules.
When you learn the rules of WTO, he will be carried on the WTO and has a new rule with the allies.
Forming new rules is not something that an economy can do.The United States ranks first and will find the third and fourth largest economies.However, when China looked around, he found that the country that has always been the most friendly. Don't say that it is international rules, and even regional rules have no strength to formulate it together.The Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS countries seem to be more like the association; and of "Belt and Road andrdquo; the layout is too wide, and there are success and frustration at present.
Instead, the AIIB, who worked silently, seemed more effective. The strongest opposition to India, the most strong opposition to India, now has multiple projects to rely on the Asian Investment Bank, and it seems to strive to put the branch to India.
In the face of the establishment of new rules with the United States and allies, as the second largest economy, whether China should reflect on whether the general direction that has not been aligned is still suitable for today.Without the strength to formulate new rules, you can only keep following the rules of other countries, which will only cause yourself to be passive. This is the portrayal of China today.
The second is the spirit of seeking.The attitude of seeking truth from facts in 1978 has gradually changed under the economic results achieved in these 40 years.There is no problem in pursuing the Chinese dream, but dreaming is to be down -to -earth.After achieving a small result, whether it is the government or the folk, China's mood is too high.For example: Some time ago, the four major inventions of China have been continuously propagated, as if the country has been renewed, and it can catch up with ancient China, which once owned the four major inventions.
Seeking a real thing to see the gap with the world's first
However, the high -speed rail is not invented by the Chinese, and the Internet is not invented by Chinese people. The concept of sharing economy is not, let alone Andrdquo;It is just that we have been located in science and technology to find the actual application after the market.
It is also achievement that can be used to apply technology so to the public, but bragging that this is Andrdquo;
In this trade war, we should look at our gap with the world's number one with a truth -seeking attitude.This is not ashamed. If there is no gap, we will be the first.
Dare to face the strength of the suppression failure
The third is the spirit of good failure.Good failure is not to say that we can admit defeat in the face of challenges, but to understand that there is no civilization, nation or country every time in this world to win.China has taken the Han civilization as the main axis, and has been ruled by other ethnic groups in history, but eventually the only civilization in the four major civilizations that can continue to today.
It is not Chang Sheng, but a good or failure, dare to face suppression, retain strength in failure, and wait for the right time to reach the next glory.
This time, the comments on the trade war are often the heroes.However, the scope involved in the trade war is so wide. In all aspects of trade, finance, international relations, and national governance, just find a time point to set a standard, and you can definitely find your own evidence.But these statements have no practical significance except self -comfort.
We must understand that this trade war is a war without smoke. There are only two possibilities to stop: China will become a vassal of the United States like Japan, or that China can replace the US position in the future.We chased from later will face the suppression and defeat again and again.How to take a break in the next step is the focus.
How the Chinese government and the people reach consensus and understand that various international challenges will continue, which is the key to whether future development can be further.
Learning, seeking, and good defeats are not new concepts, but the spirit we have always possessed, but because of the results of reform and opening up, we are put aside.Easy place: If China is in the world's number one position, there are other countries to challenge, we will definitely act.
It can be expected that this trade war will never be the last time.The achievements of the 40 years of reform and opening up are not the cause of self -inflation, but to further step stones.I hope we can adjust the mentality and spirit of this trade war, and truly reach Andrdquo;
