Recently in the Middle East, the world is holding a meeting, and the news we have obtained so far is that everyone is what you say you are, I say mine, and there is basically no hope of reaching a consensus, of course, the issue of China and the United States is particularly eye-catching.
The attitude of the United States is clear - a sharp decline with China could be a positive development. It can be seen from this that the United States is determined to reduce its contacts with China, of course, to what extent, the Americans themselves do not know.
Last year, U.S. purchases from China fell by more than 20 percent to $427 billion, and vice versa, by 4 percent to just under $148 billion.
Of course, the direct "indirectness" of China and the United States continues, and experts at the Center for Strategic and International Studies said: "The decline in the United States and China last year does seem to indicate that the two economies are estranged from each other."
But if you look at the increase in imports from Southeast Asia to the United States, a large part of that growth is coming from Chinese companies, which are either shifting production or simply transferring products through third countries to circumvent tariffs or other restrictions," he said.
Therefore, fundamentally speaking, it is basically impossible for the United States to break away from China's large industrial chain, after all, the name of the world's factory is not called in vain, and it is a matter of mutual benefit.
At this conference, the United States has another purpose - to reform the WTO. The representative of the United States slandered that China's economic development has brought a lot of competitive pressure to the world. The WTO (World Trade Organization) is "ageing" and needs to be reformed so that more can be done to address these pressures.
As a matter of fact, the United States has been dissatisfied with the WTO since Lao Te, and when he was in power, he believed that the WTO was friendly to China and harmed US interests, and once intended to "paralyze" the international organization.
Judging from the attitude of the United States, since it wants to compete with China, it must be all-round, and China is the leader, and the United States wants to suppress us, and he believes that the WTO is a very good medium.
The reason why the United States is doing things in the WTO is, in essence, that it is a "phobia" again. The U.S. believes that the total number of China and Belt and Road Initiative countries exceeds the total number of countries with the United States, the European Union, and Japan.
Thus, the United States says that we are building an alternative world order, and that we are succeeding, and that the WTO is one of the main contributors in achieving the goal.
It should be pointed out that this road is the most difficult to take, just like this meeting, they are all playing their own games, there is no agreement, if nothing else, there are huge differences in the field of agriculture, and there is almost no possibility of reaching an agreement.
Of course, the United States will naturally not ignore it, and the basic means adopted is unilateral means - tariff increases. The most ruthless is Lao Te, according to the former *** of the United States, this guy may impose comprehensive tariffs on almost all imported products as soon as he comes to power.
Keep in mind that Trump's campaign platform includes a "universal benchmark tariff" on almost all foreign products, which mentions 10% as a possible rate.
All kinds of signs show that China's future road will not be peaceful, including the United States and other Western countries will increase intervention, even at the expense of hard "bar", especially high-tech things, not only will try to block, but also put pressure on buyers.
