In the past three years, the gap between domestic and foreign epidemic prevention efforts has led to greater restrictions on external transportation, coupled with the crying and tearing groups in China who feel that their noble freedom or financial routes have been violated, they have really accumulated a lot of potential energy to "run". After the adjustment of epidemic prevention policies and the gradual recovery of cross-border transportation capacity, it is not surprising that there has been a small upsurge of "running to freedom".
Different from the self-proclaimed "elite" and "solitary" labels of Runren for many years, the image of Runren who appeared on the Chinese Internet after liberalization is not decent: the "gold medal lecturer" who reported the owner's last live broadcast to ask for food, the "doughnut" that burst countless memes, and the former elephant guild member ...... who starved to death in developed countriesNot only did they not live as well as the impression of the past few decades, but they continued to expose their patchy butts on social **, and even slapped the face of their spiritual home country.
The "American Dream" that does not support itself
"The American Dream" is the slogan of the United States to attract Runren, and the "American Dream" is the common underlying ideology of Runren, expecting a person to exert his hard work and talent in a free and inclusive environment and live a life like the American middle class.
But in fact, from the beginning of the 20th century to the stagflation crisis, the United States had the strongest industrial capacity, and blue-collar workers worked to support the whole family for more than 60 yearsIt was also the 60 years when immigrants were the least welcoming in the United States. It was only in the factories and plantations that developed wildly in the early days, and in the large number of low-end service jobs after the '80s, that the United States opened its arms to the Runren, guaranteeing them the opportunity to work hard as cheap labor for the American dream of the local middle and upper classes.
There is a negative correlation between U.S. industrial capacity and the share of immigrants in the total population.
Of course, the scraps on the table of the rich are often more nutritious than the rations of the poor, and even if they are engaged in low-end labor, the quality of life of Runren can still be greatly improved compared with that of their home country (except for Runren in China in recent years).
In the final analysis, this is because the capital-led global economic division of labor in the developed countries after the war allowed economic activities to transcend the borders of sovereign states, but the distribution of the fruits of economic activities was still strictly carried out in accordance with sovereign bordersIt is like a semi-permeable membrane in biology, sucking the benefits into the developed countries and keeping the costs out of the developed countries.
An Apple mobile phone needs Brazilians and Chileans to dig iron and copper ore, Middle Eastern people to dig oil, produce chips in Taiwan, ship them to mainland electronics factories for assembly, and finally ship them back to the United States and put them on the shelves. Apple relies on the pricing power of monopoly capital to cut off profits that clearly exceed the value of R&D activities. The profits leaked back to the United States from the Irish duty-free paradise have become the high income of Apple white-collar workers, and their wages have been infiltrated into the income of waiters, gas station employees, cleaners and other groups by buying Starbucks, driving large-displacement cars to supermarkets, etc., and the taxes paid by Apple white-collar workers are supported by the United States ** in the form of welfare to support the bottom doughnut life.
The people who need to participate in the sharing of the fruits of labor are the centralized carriers of production costsHowever, the United States did not honestly pay the wages due to workers in various countries in the industrial chain, but relied on the costs that should be paid with various "debts".The deficits in peace, development, security, and trust put forward by China all stem from the debts of the developed countries.
For China, the form of "debt" is U.S. debt. In order to maintain its international competitiveness, China has kept its exchange rate low for a long time, essentially sacrificing the exchange power of its own products in exchange for market access to the United States. A huge amount of cheap industrial products cannot be exchanged for American products immediately, but a large number of promises in the form of US bonds to "defer cash", which is equivalent to appropriating the fruits of Chinese labor without compensation in the current period.
Even so, the U.S. bonds in our hands do not yet have full purchasing power, and Americans have 10,000 reasons to refuse to exchange them for high-tech products or high-quality assets. The three unequal exchange factors of exchange rate, credit account and purchasing power constitute one of the objective reasons why domestic foundries do not come up with sufficient social products to improve workers' treatment and fully bear social security (subjective reasons are said separately).
At least China can guarantee stability and security with its national strength, which is fortunate compared to the "blood debt" of the people of Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. If the brothers and sisters of the Chinese factories can take out the five insurances, the Nicaraguan banana workers do not eat bananas but eat three serious meals, the Chileans keep the profits of the copper mines at home, and the Sierra Leoneans receive wages to dig diamonds in a peaceful environment, then the US earnings after deducting the costs will not be able to support the living bills promised by the "American dream".
United Fruits, a fruit company with guns as its trademark.
From the third world to the first and second worlds, there is a great stratification, and there are layers of subdivisions within the developed countriesIn essence, it is a structure in which the outer majority feeds the inner minority, and the poverty of the majority is a necessary condition for the prosperity of the minority. Could it be that brushing dishes and ordering McDonald's in the United States is more high-tech than the same type of work in Southeast Asia?Could it be that begging in the United States generates more social value than begging in Latin America?But non-Chinese Runians can still see a jump in income, and beggars can eat high-calorie foods that are considered luxuries by the poor in other regions.
Therefore, the core of Run is not to find a place where labor can be earned, let alone that the "buried" talents can finally be freely exerted in the sweet air, but to gather himself under the table of the international rentier group to pick up some scraps and burn cold. However, this does not prevent the developed countries from standing up again and again, packaging hitchhiking as the "American dream" of self-reliance, and packaging leftovers as the invincible superiority of the "free and democratic private property rights" system.
The essence of Runren is that of a debt collector
It's okay to lie to your buddy, but don't fool yourself. In the first era of American industry, the political elite was still very clear about this truth: 7 people supporting 1 person would make that person live a good life, and 1 person supporting 1 person would only make two people suffer together. ThereforeBoth parties in the United States are not afraid of small runs, but they are afraid of big runsThey strictly guard the immigration gate, try their best to accept foreign labor in a controlled and selective manner, prevent too many immigrants from entering the United States to share the feast of exploitation, and narrow the "dependency ratio" between the world and the United States.
When it comes to developing countries, the logic is reversed:I'm afraid of a small run, but I'm not afraid of a big run. The domestic labor force has been absorbed by the developed countries in batches in a planned manner, and the costs of public security, employment, and social security that the country needs to bear have not dropped significantly.
However, if a large number of people flock to the promised land, then the "economies of scale" of Runrun will be revealed: since the developed countries collect the benefits of transnational economic activities at home, they will keep out the people who need to share in the fruits of developmentThen Runren realizes the unification of costs and benefits through geographical migration, and to put it bluntly, it is to use the simple means of climbing over the wall to go to developed countries to ask for development debts.
Most of the added value of an Apple mobile phone produced by the joint labor of various countries is recorded as the GDP of the United States, and then divided by several Apple white-collar workers to make a high per capita GDP, which has become a statistical thread weaving the high-end, efficient and high-tech economic landscape of the United States. Now Runren has to revise the denominator of the per capita GDP of the United States, so that it more truly reflects how many people should be attributed to the wealth that the United States enjoys.
The United States uses its monopoly bargaining position to exchange the goods of the third world with extremely low credit, and maintains its own wasteful material life with the shortage of others.
In order to enjoy cheap oil, minerals, and even drugs, the United States exports compradors, chaos, and wars all over the world, so Runren is naturally not afraid of the test of the rainforest miasma, penetrates the peaceful border guaranteed by the US military, and infiltrates the uneven security costs back into the United States itself.
The United States has concocted a neoliberal myth that under the great free market and private property rights system, the economy can grow without roots, and life can easily and comfortably become better, then there is no reason why Runren should not come to this promised land flowing with milk and honey to enjoy free "supermarket long dishes", "free medical care" and happy education.
Can the propaganda platform "Share America" in the United States of America lie to you?
Rather darkly humorous, Obama's Democratic Party is playing the minority card, and minority citizens have a much higher fertility rate than whites, but it will take 18 years to vote, and more illegal immigrants must be brought in and given legal status in an effort to overturn the Republican votes in Texas and Florida. Coupled with the flood of white left,The debt-indebted Democratic Party and the debt-collecting Runren have achieved a strange two-way rush.
Especially after Biden came to power, on the one hand, the new crown has devastated the world economy, and it is more difficult for developing countries to maintain the basic survival of the people at the bottom, and the army of people who go to the landlord's house to collect debts and distribute grain has become more turbulent;On the other hand, the aftermath of the chaotic victory in 2020 has prompted the Democratic Party to continue to expand its vote base by any means, and Biden has adopted an ambiguous attitude towards illegal immigration. Since 2021, the U.S. Border Police has arrested 6 million illegal immigrantsIn the current fiscal year alone, 2.4 million people were arrestedThe number of people behind this who successfully circumvented the wall to realize the "American dream" is unknown.
Biden, please let us in".
In 2023, the number of foreign-born legal and illegal "immigrants" has reached nearly 50 million, accounting for 15% of the total U.S. population, a record high. Such a large marginalized population naturally increases the welfare of America's dependent inner circle, so the Democrats and their mouthpieces go to great lengths to promote the economic benefits of immigration, including illegal immigrationThe American middle class has been pushed into front of the debt collection army to pay off the debts owed by the whole United States.
A masterpiece by a White House economist, "The Economic Benefits of Providing Permanent Legal Status for Illegal Immigration."
The increase in the supply of labor and the decline in labor are the most basic laws of economics. Runren who have not obtained status do not pay taxes, do not have insurance, and have no minimum wage, which is the most invincible existence in the labor market, and the wages of immigrants who have obtained status are still lower than those of local workers with a high starting point. Some Republican think tanks say that for every 10 percent increase in immigration, local wages will shrink by 3 percent, and some low-educated groups may fall by close to 10 percent. Perhaps their quantitative calculations were influenced by political leaningsBut there is no doubt that Runren continues to squeeze out the salary premium for low-skilled jobs in the United States.
Now we all know that the United States is actually quite stingy in giving benefits, but "giving benefits to immigrants" is a generous business. Many of the illegal immigrants are on the streets, and in Los Angeles, for example, Los Angeles County will spend an average of $1 per homeless person in the new fiscal year$70,000 in governance funds (41% of the local per capita income), which comes out of the pockets of the middle class, will not all be turned into food for the "lecturers" anyway. In recent years, several blue states with more immigrants have begun to give unemployment benefits and other benefits to illegal immigrants
This is just an economic account, and we have not yet counted the security account of zero-dollar purchases, the epidemic of drug violence, and the safety account of ethnic division. Of course, the Democratic Party only counts the political accounts of votes, and will continue to switch on and off the Yingrun, welfare benefits, and invoices, and even objectively "cooperates" with the "global solution" of the four major deficits in a nonsensical way.
Chinese Runren who want to "stand" and beg for food
In the Runmei army, China Runren has always been the most maverick groupOthers stand to collect debts, they kneel and beg for food. In the previous description of the general situation of Runren, the author never used the term "spiritual mother country", because the "Run" of many residents in developing countries is really forced by poverty and war to "flee", but the strong and active spiritual conversion is the most distinctive background color of Chinese Runren.
Chinese mainland has undergone a complete social revolution, but some old forces have passed through the remnants of some small islands and settled in developed countries. Until the beginning of this century, there was still a huge gap between our comprehensive national strength and that of the developed countries, and because of China's education level, which is among the best in the third world, it has paved the ground for the objective spread of these backward residues, and has imprinted the ideological steel seal of worshipping the West and hating the mother country on a considerable part of the population of several generations. "Fortunately, at that time, we were far behind the developed countries, and even if the self-degraded class was able to improve their quality of life, they confirmed and strengthened their sense of superiority full of malice towards their former compatriots in China."
American inflation joke: The knife music that bought this can of beef back then can only be exchanged for 1 3 cans by the end of this year.
Some time ago, the Israeli Runren who asked for China's rescue showed us the "canon" of the old Runren: she was stranded and naturalized overseas with state-sponsored study, and her daughter joined the Israel Defense Forces, the protagonist of the ground stall Wenlong Aotian, which did not prevent her from condescendingly educating the Chinese that "it is everyone's duty to help me." Under the fig leaf of the spirit of contract, fiduciary responsibility, and the principle of the rule of law, he is nothing more than an absolutely self-interested creature that was once lucky.
In the past few years, inflation in developed countries has been in full swing after the epidemic, and the purchasing power of Lao Run's savings has melted like summer iceThe Federal Reserve's interest rate and the U.S. dollar exchange rate soared into the sky, and the amount of U.S. dollars exchanged by Xinrun people went straight to the bottomHow to ** the spiritual internal friction caused by the inversion of the quality of life at home and abroad has become a compulsory course for Runren.
Some of them weave lies about themselves, such as the banana father-in-law who repeatedly claims that eating a banana on the mainland is a luxury;Some people expect to get rid of their own **hurry** to alleviate psychological imbalances, such as cursing the starving akid in the mother country;There are also fantasies about correcting the evils of the times in the "politically free" United States, such as doughnuts that have been broken by white card bills and refusal of asylum.
Only people who can see it like a lecturer, (at least superficially) let go of the superiority of coming to heaven, show the scars of the spiritual mother country to their disgusted home country, and open up a more vivid live broadcast track than persuading the Runren Man's Toutou Eagle, and become the lucky ones who stop the loss or even stop the fall and rise back in time.
The excess of self-consciousness is in the same vein among the new and old run peopleEven if there is no factual support, even if there is no capital to show off, they must show others all the mental process of resolving mental internal friction, which not only meets their needs for attention, but also provides us with a window to see the real developed countries.
Eating steak also has to show off the sense of ceremony, that must be too infrequent to eat steak.
In the past, their empty show-off or empty discharge through letters, ** or text chat software, but also with the help of relatives' word of mouth or ** Spring and Autumn penmanship, from complaining to Versailles, from downfall to decent. It's a pity that today's popular media is too developedTheir expressions, tones, clothes, and living environment can be seen at a glance, the myth of sweet air and mansion steak is self-defeating, and the image of heaven on earth that the West has worked hard to create for decades has been shattered and disenchanted, and has become a domestic laughing stock and even an "electronic pet" to be teased by others.
Don't say anything that is not good for the American dream.
And in the eyes of Americans, this group of Chinese Runren is simply a collection of supernatural phenomena:
The quality of life of people from other countries to the United States has improved, and the quality of life of them to the United States has decreased;In order to improve the quality of life, they are willing to endure the wind and food, sleeping in the open and risking their lives to walk the line;But if this represents courage and adventure, they are all like sheep when they climb over the border wall, and they don't even have the courage to buy it for zero yuan;
They are supposed to represent the cost that the United States owes to the Chinese to eat and drink, but they can still pay the United States a fortune equivalent to the salary of an ordinary American family for several years;Even if you can take out the cash that Americans can't save in their lifetime, the quality of life is still not as good as before going abroad
This mess of logic completely overloaded the CPU of the Americans, and it was impossible to figure out that Runren came to the United StatesWhat exactly is it trying to do, what is it doing?。U.S. congressmen and Zhang Jiadun insisted that they were sent by China to disrupt the U.S. economy, but they were the only "correct" answer left after ruling out all possibilities.
Sandwiched between the laughter of the Chinese and the cold eyes of the Americans, only in the minds of Runren themselves, they are awakened, high, and noble. Relying on strength, debt collection has turned into a begging for food, but the "ideal of freedom" is still burning;Kneeling tamely in the spiritual mother country, he has to turn around and wave his fist at the mother country on the other side of the ocean, making a rebellious gesture of "you see I can stand and ask for food".
Early, big, should be moistened
The wonderfulness of China's Runren has not changed the U-shaped curve between the interests of developing countries and the number of Runren:Very little run is good, small run is not good, big run is good.
This conclusion is not unfounded, compared to North America's return of raw materials such as tea, sugar and wood to fill the furnace of the European Industrial Revolution, the earliest and greatest role of Runmei is actually to alleviate population pressure.
Before the discovery of the New World, Europe, like the rest of the world, was caught in the Malthusian trap, where exponential population growth ate up linearly agricultural products, and periodic social resource shortages stifled breakthrough innovation. The advent of the New World gave Europe a means of "regulating" its population without war, famine, or plague, according to some sourcesDuring the colonial era, a total of 1 4 of Europe's population emigrated out, of which the proportion of British emigration reached 1 3It is the key to jumping out of the Malthusian trap before other mature civilizations.
As can be seen from the figure below, the wave of immigration in the 17th century caused the total per capita wealth of Britain to rise continuously under the condition of population stability, and finally opened the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution successively, and entered the post-Malthusian era in which the population and per capita GDP increased simultaneously.
Industrial societies seem to have eliminated the Malthusian trap, but the new resource curse of aging and the universalization of welfare without discriminating social contributions is looming over the horizon. Europe, with its high welfare and aging population, tried to admit refugees from Eastern Europe and the Middle East to supplement the young and middle-aged labor force, but as a result, the generous "human rights protection" of the white left went far beyond the social products produced by Runren, and ended up in a dove that was easy to send to God.
Australia and New Zealand are isolated overseas, with the advantage of low-cost control of population import, and a large number of Runren who are not worried about eating and drinking can still prescribe investment immigration prices to Runren who chase welfare and dreams, and then the old Chinese, local lawyers and even Australia's ** civilized petty bourgeoisie Runren will be wiped clean (details: station b search bv1a14y1b7sf, introducing how intermediaries can blur key system information such as investment immigration and taxation, so that Runren can "buy" Australian benefits whose current value is lower than the amount paid).
Relying on the "low human rights advantage" of stinginess in welfare, the United States does not have the trouble of eating more and doing less for the time beingIts new resource trap is also manifested in the form of socialism with American characteristics. Runren and the bottom compete with each other for the few social resources, and poor public services continue to pull the middle class into this battle royale game, falling into the North American involution mode of violence, drugs and black labor.
For us, an exporting country, what about the cost-benefit analysis?This has to start from the analysis of the composition of Runren, the current Runren can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the rentier of economic development, such as the old citizen landlord who enjoys the housing price rocket, and some of the petty bourgeoisie who have made a fortune in the industrial outlet.
They have grabbed wealth far beyond their own contributions through the hard work of the people of the whole country, but they mistake luck for personal ability, and feel that the domestic system has delayed their freedom to make a fortune or enjoy themselves. These people do not engage in physical social production in China (otherwise they will not have the motivation to make money), but rely on their wealth to own a large number of high-quality social services, and they are also strong advocates of privatization and liberalization.
The other group is unwilling or unable to earn a living through normal occupational means. Whether it is a doughnut, a lecturer, or many people who are on the line with the big head eagle live broadcast, they have something in common: with the dream of getting rich, the leveraged speculation fails or leaves a criminal record, and the basic education in China is enough for them to combine their delusions about their home country with their fantasies about their spiritual mother country, forming a set of self-consistent logic to package the dilemma of "reopening in a different place" in life.
Both groups of people occupy more resources than their social contributions in our country. As we said before, many benefits in socialist countries are distributed when basic products and public services are consumed, and compared with the personal income tax property of the mother country of rentier and petty bourgeoisie, the amount of welfare they buy in our country is simply negative.
In terms of basic security, mechanisms such as controlled necessities**, comprehensive subsistence allowance, and perfect grassroots governance system ensure that China's lowest-income groups will not fall into frustration, or like doughnuts being blackmailed with a $5,670 medical loan.
Potential Runren stay in the country, not only will they never get spiritual peace, but ordinary people will also have to support them with the social products they produce. And if they run out, they can't take away the material productive forces of the country, and they can't be regarded as brain drain, but they save the net supply of society, and even get free Western mythological disenchantment propagandists;Runren, on the other hand, got rid of the source of mental torture and went to the kingdom of heaven of his dreams, a win-win situation.
There is no need to worry about what benefits Darun will bring to Europe and the United States, it is impossible for Runren to be like the myth of neoliberalism or unrealistic conceit, and when it comes to the "superior system" of the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, it will automatically become a source of wealth creation. Even if you have $80,000 in cash, even if you contribute a meager cheap labor force to developed countriesThey still can't break the objective nature of Runren as debt collectors, and they are still promoting a balanced match of international costs and benefits on behalf of China and all developing countries, whether in terms of economy and finance, social security, or theoretical mythology.
However, we still have a lot to learn from Xi advanced experience of the United States and Europe. One is to make the discharge tax a precursor to property taxesLet Runren feel the thoughtful service comparable to developed countries at the moment of stepping out of the country. The second is to strengthen border control of nationalityYou can even learn from the U.S. entry social ** inspection to help Runren completely get out of the comfort zone, eliminate worries, and work hard for their dreams under the broad sky.
It is difficult to find examples of Pareto improvements in which the welfare of all is improvedHowever, it should be a win-win situation for all parties. The window of Darun is shrinking, the United States and Europe continue to tighten border control out of hostility to our country and misunderstanding of Runren, and the risk of the Republican Party's comeback next year cannot be ignored.
