Western scholars accused Chinese trade that made them imagine that they were leaders

The United States launched a trade war. Economists and media around the world believed that it was unreasonable and violated the laws of economics.But American public opinion made great momentum, thinking that all the faults were in China.

And the Chinese media do not fight back or fight back, who is responsible for this responsibility?It should be responsible for Chinese textbook economists.Because the mainstream media and economics of the West and many Chinese textbook economists believe that in international competition, Western countries have technical advantages, institutional advantages, and quality advantages. How can it be lost?Therefore, if China can win, it must be unfair competition.

Today, I will solve the mystery of the so -called Chinese unfair competition?

The popular statement in China is to cheat, and the West has the following main claims to China:

The first statement is that when China just joined the WTO and products entered the Western market, although there are many levels in the West, it still cannot stop the impact of Chinese cheap products.The reason they sought was that Chinese cheap products were produced by labor reform prisoners, and prisoners in prisons did not need to pay.

At that time, at the international conference, Western economists came to ask me the question.I said you think about it, is the Chinese government so stupid?If you are the head of the government, do you say that your main task is to solve the employment problem of unemployed workers or the employment problem of prisoners?Moreover, the proportion of prisoners in Chinese prisons is much smaller than the United States. How can such a large number of products be produced by prison prisoners?Isn't the government head faint?When they heard it, they felt ridiculous.

The second statement is a little bit improved, accusing the Chinese factory as the hedor -sweat factory.They said that China is a country that is more capitalist than the West, cruelly exploited workers and lowered workers' wages.In the West, the high -profile sang human rights, many Western human rights fighters ran to China to safeguard their rights for Chinese workers.What do they want to do?Do you think they really want to safeguard the right to Chinese workers?No, after they hope that after one right, the Chinese strike and raise wages, so that Chinese products will not be competitive in the West.

The reporter of the New York Times wants to understand why Chinese products have so much competitiveness.He made a survey and found that the wages of workers in the Chinese factory based on the US standards, of course, are very low, but higher than their original income in rural areas. After their income increased significantly, after making money, they returned home. When they went home, they went home.You can build a new house in your hometown.Later, even German companies defended China, saying that you went to see the rate of wage growth of Chinese workers, which was far more improved than the United States, where the real salary did not change in 40 years, and improved.Therefore, the so -called low -human growth public opinion fell down.

Later, the West invented a new trick. After the China signed the WTO agreement, it should have affirmed the status of the Chinese market economy, but the West refused to launch an anti -dumping lawsuit mdash; MDASH; anti -dumping lawsuit is to accuse your product sales price ratio cost comparison cost cost cost comparison costs.It is also low, so your purpose is not to compete normally, but to eliminate competitors.

This statement is very unreasonable, because only in history, only rich companies have the ability to dump.For example, when Western multinational companies entered China, in order to eliminate competitors such as Chinese ethnic companies, he first lowered the price, destroyed other homes, and then he increased the price.Therefore, there must be a large capital to make dumping.

China is a developing country, how can it be dumped?If China engages in dumping, China will attract foreign capital MDASH; MDASH; foreign capital will have to reduce taxes and give cheap land, and subsidize products dumping. So how can the Chinese economy be over, how can it continue to grow?If developing countries can make dumping, India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh can be dumped.Therefore, this logic is absurd.
