Americans began to wield the "** stick" again, local time on March 1, the United States Microsoft-NBC (MSNBC) broadcast the previous day before the United States Secretary of Commerce Raimondo was interviewed **, Raimondo in an interview, hyped the so-called "Chinese new energy vehicle threat".
She claimed that smart cars made in China could collect "millions of data" every minute and every second — like an "iPhone on four wheels" ......At the same time, she slandered that we could make the millions of Chinese-made cars running on American roads "stop at the same time." On the same day, Biden announced that he would "launch an investigation" into Chinese-made cars on the grounds of ***.
What does the United States want to do?
What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd in the United States? Judging from Biden's statement in the United States, and from the following statement of Raimondo, the head of the U.S. Department of Commerce as the specific manager, after Biden's statement, there is no doubt that the United States is waving the big stick again.
According to Biden, the investigation into Chinese-made cars mainly focuses on the so-called "software in Chinese-made cars that may pose a threat to the United States". But after nagging about a bunch of Chinese cars that may pose a threat to the United States, Biden turned his tune and complained that Chinese-made cars "may dominate the future auto market" and said that "I will never let this happen." From here, we can get a glimpse of Biden's true thoughts, what *** and what "Apple phones on four wheels" are all gimmicks.
The real idea of the US ruling group represented by "old Biden" is most likely to have a deep sense of anxiety about the strong rise of China's automobiles, for fear that China will create another giant in the communications and semiconductor industries in the field of the automobile industry, take away all the meat pots of the West, and prepare to kill the killer. So in this sense, because of the United States, then Biden asked the U.S. Department of Commerce to investigate China's cars, and the final conclusion of the investigation is completely uncertain, and it may be affected by several factors:
First, it is the impact of the election in the United States. The most typical example in this regard is tik-tok (Douyin overseas version), "Old Biden" hinted openly and secretly at the beginning that he wanted to take tik-tok, but it turned out that the penetration rate of tik-tok among young voters in the United States was too high.
Of course, with the current penetration rate of Chinese-made cars in the U.S. market, there is a high probability that this will not be possible, but it is not ruled out that Biden wants to use this matter as a card to play out. For example, at a certain point in time, when Trump attacked Biden for his weakness on China, then Biden played the "threat of China-made cars" as a card, and used sanctions against China-made cars to hedge some of Trump's campaign strategies. Judging from the routine of the United States, the feasibility of this kind of thing is too poor.
The second question is whether Biden wants to use this matter to talk to us about the exchange. After all, the Yankees make cards in the void and the white wolf with empty gloves is also a good hand. Back then, Trump was a typical example of this, first indiscriminately imposing sanctions on us, deducting, relying on these things in exchange for our actual benefits, as long as we bleed, then these things can be blamed in the past. If you want us to stop investigating your Chinese cars, you will have to cede any kind of benefits to us, and of course, it is impossible for us to cede any benefits.
Third, it depends on the attitude of the European allies of the United States. According to Golden Ten data, China's passenger car exports will surpass Japan for the first time in 2023, reaching an astonishing 4.91 million units, but the country with the largest export volume is Russia, which alone accounts for 9090,000 units, followed by Mexico, Belgium, Australia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, etc. In comparison, the U.S. only imports 7480,000 cars is nothing in the importing countries of Chinese cars, and it does not have much of a counterbalance effect on China's export market.
After all, in the first seven months of 2023, Chinese companies exported more than 450,000 new energy models to the European market, and it is expected that the annual export of cars to Europe may be close to 800,000 units, accounting for about one-fifth of China's export market. Therefore, if the United States unilaterally imposes restrictions on Chinese vehicles, it will be almost useless, but the attitude of Europe is very important, and if the United States and Europe are in harmony, it will be very troublesome for us.
How we should respond.
From a tactical point of view, Big Ivan's point of view, China's car companies should try their best to hold the European market, and at the same time open up the markets in Russia, Central Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. As we said earlier, the number of exports of China's car companies to the United States is very small, but the number of exports to Europe accounts for a relatively large number, which is of extraordinary significance to China's vehicle foreign trade, so whether the United States can coordinate with Europe is the key node for the United States to try to suppress China's car companies in this round of practical results.
Fortunately, European German car companies have huge interests in China, and Chinese car companies have layouts in some European countries, so it is very important for China to use these cards in its hands to try to hold Europe and avoid Europe from following the trend of the United States on this issue. At the same time, more importantly, China's new energy vehicles, the future market is still in the Middle East and Africa.
After all, the automobile market in Europe and North America is highly saturated, but the automobile market in Africa and the Middle East, and even a considerable part of the market potential has not been developed at all, especially in terms of new energy vehicles. Development and infrastructure construction are our strengths. For example, the photovoltaic power station that greatly reduces the energy of new energy vehicles, the charging equipment, battery swap stations, large-scale energy storage facilities, etc., which are not available in the Middle East and Africa, and the Middle East and Africa are generally rich in solar energy and wind energy.
In this sense, Big Ivan's point of view is the same, the future of Chinese car companies is in the Middle East and Africa, and even not only the future of Chinese car companies is here, and even quite a lot of industries, the future is in the Middle East and Africa. This is not just for economic gain, but in a sense, for the progress of all mankind.
Speaking of which, Big Ivan has to sigh that the United States is really worse every year now. If you look back at the movies made by the Yankees from the 90s to the beginning of this century, you can see the vigor and vigor of the United States when the Cold War had just ended and the United States had just reached the top as a superpower, and vowed to be a "beacon of mankind" and lead all mankind to progress together (of course, you don't care what it thinks). At that time, when I mentioned the United States, I thought of the highly developed productive forces, the integration and collision of many cultures, the free chess player, and the advocate of universal values......
If you look at the United States now, there is no atmosphere of "all nations coming to court" at all. For example, a few years ago, we sanctioned our country's semiconductor industry and advanced communications industry, and as a result, the sanctions ended up sanctioning a giant, and now they don't learn a lesson at all, and they have formulated the so-called "small courtyard and high wall" strategy, which they don't know how to implement, and they have begun to try to find trouble with China's new energy vehicle companies. What freedom, what universal values, in the eyes of the Yankees are not as important as "**, this is the degeneration of Americans, but also the degeneration of traditional American values. For us, of course, we would be glad to see the Americans themselves fall for granted.
Finally, we thought of Tesla again, do you think compared with the Americans' treatment of China's new energy vehicles, how does China treat Musk and Tesla? What is really called the magnanimity of a great country, to have a super factory, to have a super factory, to have high-quality industrial workers, to have an efficient management team, Shanghai super factory has high efficiency, strong productivity, even Musk can't help but dance two steps when he comes. And China's new energy vehicle industry has also introduced such a competitive brand as Tesla, forcing a large number of new energy vehicle companies to carry out industrial upgrading and technology research and development.
Let's say something ugly, Tesla and even Musk, staying in a place like the United States, we don't feel worth it for him. As a company that respects the thinking of engineers, the country that is more suitable for Musk to stay in is China, which is full of vitality, with a large number of engineers and industrial workers, and a very fast iteration rate of technology and productivity. Many of Musk's ideas will be realized faster and better in China than in the United States, which is more conducive to the development of human productivity and even the common progress of all mankind.
Therefore, the United States is now clamoring for some "** investigation" on Chinese car companies, we think that we don't have to deal with it at all, if the United States dares to do this, it is a real closed country. With the degree of the United States' most rebellious nature, even Japanese cars can't do it, and now they are still stuck in various large-displacement fuel vehicles. If such a revolution is not fully contested in the context of new energy, it will be rolled up in the end, not to mention, and it will miss a new round of revolution led by new energy and intelligence, active control technology, we can only say so.
