"The well-held adage tells us that the foundation of the economy shapes the structure at the top. However, when this foundation takes root'Banditry', its superstructure will inevitably attract suspicion.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has drawn strength from this rich soil, and after losing its opponents, the desire for hegemony on a global scale has swelled without hesitation. China, as the leader among the world powers, naturally became the United States'Absorb gold'goals.
At a time when our financial and economic system was still unstable, the shock of the United States brought about a deep crisis. In the face of cooperation, the United States has ignored China's desire for mutual benefit and win-win results, and instead has continued to exploit and try to repeat the mistakes of the past.
But how did China survive the storm? "
In the heyday of the Soviet Union, the global order was relatively stable, and countries were looking for their own places in the bipolar pattern of the Cold War and seeking good opportunities for development. However, the turning point in history came in 1991, when the collapse of the Soviet Union shattered the balance and the United States became a unique center of power in the world.
This upheaval not only sparked a deep emotional resonance, but also meant endless business opportunities and countless wealth waiting to be tapped for the capital predators. With the collapse of the Soviet empire, many companies lost their support and were unable to compete with the United States, and the battle for survival in the market became difficult.
The broken capital chain forced them to reluctantly part with their love, and companies and factories sought the fate of being acquired.
Eastern Europe's development dilemma was faced with the problem of monetization, and it was the United States and other countries that took this opportunity to not only master advanced production technology through the acquisition strategy, but also inject a large amount of dollars and pounds sterling, and promote the dollarization process of the Eastern European economy.
The capitalists' thirst for resources is staggering, and they even go so far as to issue additional money when competing for key firms, even if it may cause economic imbalances. As it turned out, the intervention of the Western powers greatly contributed to the prosperity of Eastern Europe, enhancing their technological and resource strength.
Subsequently, the establishment of the World Organization and the North American Free Zone, aimed at attracting more global capital to the United States, escalated the competition between the dollar and the euro.
As a global currency hegemon, the US dollar is bound to **, and the rise of the euro is facing pressure from expansion to challenge the dominance of the US dollar. The United States, as a long-term resource predator, does not want a piece of the euro, so it provokes disputes among euro-related countries, such as the Kosovo war, which is a direct reflection of this competition.
The U.S. strategy of pursuing dollar settlements for oil transactions, targeting the oil-rich Middle East, has touched a sensitive nerve in Europe. Although the euro was a rising star, it was not as large as the dollar, and in the end, the Kosovo war saw the euro temporarily lose in this economic and political battle.
The U.S. economy is booming, and the influx of global capital has pushed technological innovation to new heights, opening up a development model that has never been seen in East Asia. They seek to accelerate the monetary transformation of this model.
In the face of this situation, China, as a relative traditional and backward player, is forging ahead in the midst of challenges. In the eighties of the last century, the haze of foreign withdrawal hung over China, and it seemed that the United States was trying to copy the Soviet model's strategy.
At that time, China's economy was fragile, infrastructure and social security were difficult to maintain, and many feared that it would follow in the footsteps of Eastern Europe and collapse. Surprisingly, however, China's opening-up policy has not collapsed, but has gradually and steadily recovered, showing strong resilience and dynamism.
Under the global gaze, many countries have focused on the Chinese market because of its huge potential as the world's third largest country. The United States, as the leader of the world economy, will naturally not ignore this opportunity.
They thought deeply about how they could effectively penetrate the East Asian market. In this process, the United States has continuously introduced innovative production processes, whether from the legacy of the Soviet Union or self-developed military technology, which have been skillfully integrated into consumer products to enhance the competitiveness of products.
This kind of high-tech advantage is precisely what East Asian countries aspire to. In this way, the United States has made East Asia an efficient production base, producing a variety of products, and then introducing them into the East Asian market, skillfully channeling East Asian capital back to the United States, forming a strategic economic interaction.
Globally, many countries are affected by the U.S. economy and spend valuable reserves on U.S. purchases"Advanced technology"or U.S. Treasuries, which are essentially money flowing back into the U.S.
For example, Americans consume an average of 7 pairs of Chinese-made shoes and a dozen pieces of clothing a year.
At the same time, the United States has taken advantage of China's cheap labor to set up factories in China to allow capital to flow back. They have invested heavily in science and technology to take their economies to the next level.
It can be said that this is a strategy of the United States to obtain funds. China was also affected by this and bought a large number of US Treasury bonds, causing some of the funds to flow to the United States.
For the first time, the United States has implemented financial services on China"Exploitation"The influx of capital into a single industry has weakened its ability to withstand risks. The boom in the IT industry is a bubble that has become more pronounced at the beginning of the 21st century, when the bursting of the bubble led to a deep financial crisis in the United States, and the shaking of the dollar system spread to the world, and the pressure was transmitted to those economies with weak resistance.
This was followed by a domino effect of the recession, with the rise of terrorism as a direct reflection of economic turmoil. On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers in New York were tragically attacked, hundreds of innocent people boarded hijacked flights and died with the World Trade Center.
In the subsequent rescue, the collapse of the building brought immeasurable tragedy, and the disaster was like an unbearable blow to the United States. In the shadow of the global financial crisis, the United States urgently needs to find an outlet to pass on the crisis, and China, as a large and dynamic economy, is naturally at the forefront of its consideration.
At that time, China was actively seeking access to the international market, and cooperation with the United States undoubtedly brought historic opportunities to China. As the world's most populous country, with vast land and a tenacious spirit, China has become synonymous with the ideal "factory of the world".
As a result, the eyes of the United States were once again focused on China, and the cooperation between the two sides began. In order to promote development, our country did not hesitate to sacrifice the environment in the short term and built factories on a large scale in the country, which was crucial to the progress of our country at that time.
China's huge factories have not only absorbed excess labor, but also brought in valuable foreign capital to the country, which seems to have come true"Win-win"of the booming scene. However, at the depths of this mutually beneficial relationship, China's pursuit in the field of technology has been hindered.
While China struggles to accumulate profits and invest in high-tech research and development, the United States is pressing closer, joining forces with other countries to limit our technological reach. Therefore, despite the large population supported"The world's factory"but the lack of core technology makes us have to rely on this model to maintain.
In order to maintain profits, our country had to invest a large amount of money in US Treasury bonds, which essentially allowed the United States to control part of our earnings. In this way, the West has solved the problem of inflation, and the United States has benefited greatly from alleviating its economic problems.
Despite the fact that China is in this one"Collaboration"China has also developed, but the dominance of funding is still in the hands of the United States.
In the past severe tests, China has played a role"Supporting role", repeatedly endured by the United States"Exploitation"。How can you endure the accumulation of damage twice? With a deep insight into America's selfish nature, we recognize it for what it really is.
In order to ensure its own security and progress, China has increased its independent investment in science and technology and the economy, which has undoubtedly touched the cake of the United States. As a result, the attitude of the United States has changed abruptly, and it has tried to compress our living space, treating us as a danger in its eyes.
However, the experience of being exploited twice has made us no longer easily trust, and although we have benefited from it, we have not been able to achieve true self-sufficiency, which has deviated from the original purpose of the country's development.
Therefore, drifting away from the United States is really an inevitable choice for seeking independence.
Wen Tiejun's global perspective and national stance on economic issues are not aimed at the United States, but on the country's future prosperity and development. Regardless of where the challenges come from, his analysis is always based on national progress and aims to propel China's economy to the next level.
Our country has proposed"A community with a shared future for mankind"advocates global solidarity so that the wealth of the world will grow together and all countries will benefit greatly. However, the United States has stubbornly adhered to hegemony and divided the camp, causing some countries to suffer from war.
However, China has a firm belief that it will be able to break through the predicament, and its rise is an inevitable trend of history and is unstoppable.
