The economy within the U.S. is now shaped primarily by the financial sector, high-end manufacturing (high precision), and agriculture. ? Historically, the U.S. has repeatedly fought trade wars against other countries, as long as the countries that pose a threat to the U.S. one has not been spared, including, of course, its allies in the European Union countries with South Korea and Japan. ?
For us, the most significant reference is the Plaza Accord, which the United States forced Japan to sign.
So why is the U.S. fighting a trade war?
So why is the United States fighting a trade war? The current world political and economic system was developed by the United States, including the international financial and international trade system. The United States has financial hegemony, world trade hegemony and public opinion hegemony, which, together with the overbearing U.S. military, constitute the all-round hegemony of the United States. First, let's talk about the financial aspect, the U.S. harvesting the wealth of other countries (shearing) routine please refer to the article "Shanghai crude oil futures listing | the beginning of breaking the financial colonization"; ? The focus here is on the real economy. The real economy mainly refers to the manufacturing industry.
Let's take a look at what the State Minister of Industry and Information Technology has to say: ?
The global manufacturing industry has basically formed a four-level echelon development pattern: ?
The first echelon is the U.S.-led global science and technology innovation center;?
The second echelon is the high-end manufacturing sector, including the EU and Japan;?
The third echelon is the low- and medium-end manufacturing field, mainly some emerging countries, including China;
The fourth echelon is mainly resource-exporting countries, including OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), Africa, Latin America and other countries. ?
The U.S., led by global scientific and technological innovation, occupies the top end of the industry; followed by the EU and Japan, *** with the occupation of the high-end of the high-precision industry. Among them, the United States accounted for the big head. What are the benefits of occupying the top end of the high-tech industry?
An example:
For example, the same medical equipment PET-CT molecular imaging instrument (cancer early capture "magic weapon") in the U.S. selling price of about 1.5 million U.S. dollars (about 9.45 million yuan), sold to China but more than 20 million yuan; run for four or five years, the maintenance and service fee is equal to the cost of a new one. Another new one was purchased. The total cost to Chinese hospitals of purchasing and operating the imported equipment was 40 million yuan, while the total cost of purchasing and operating the same domestic equipment was about 13 million yuan, an additional 27 million yuan. These costs are ultimately spread to the patient, which is why it is so expensive to see a major doctor in China.?
If we don't realize domestic production, we will continue to pay high monopoly profits for developed countries in Europe, America and Japan. There is no way, we can't build it ourselves, foreign companies sell it to you for that price.? For more, please follow WeChat public number: Yuan Song (yuansong-001).
Here for those who support domestic friends praise, you as consumers with their own actions for domestic enterprises to achieve industrial breakthroughs to provide direct financial support. ?
The U.S., Europe and Japan occupy the top of the high-end industry, while monopolizing the high profits of high-end manufacturing, which is one of the main reasons why workers in developed countries such as Europe and the U.S. can take three days off a week (or more), and can also enjoy high benefits, it is really not their country is more powerful, but also not how much value their workers create.
The United States, Europe and Japan to take advantage of their own technological accumulation and advantage, since the beginning of the technology blockade has been imposed on China, so that forced China to take the road of self-reliance in industrial upgrading and technological innovation, so that today China can have such achievements, is simply a miracle in the history of the world's human development, and at the same time, this blockade has also made the resilient Chinese people to build a solid industrial base! --Now China is the country with the most complete industrial system in the world (there is no one). ?
Now China continues to make breakthroughs or is in the process of making breakthroughs in highly sophisticated industries. For example, industries like LCD panels, supercomputers, and high-speed rail have already achieved breakthroughs; industries like integrated circuits and high-end medical equipment are on their way to achieving breakthroughs. Like quantum communications, electromagnetic and other industries China has led the way. ? The terrible thing is that once the localization, the product directly realize "cabbage price", so not only break the monopoly of Europe and the United States and Japan, and directly let the foreign enterprises out of the industry, and some even bankruptcy.
This is the first time that we have seen the same thing in the world.
This is the reason why Europe and the United States fear the continuous upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, especially China has also introduced the "Made in China 2025" program. So here comes the trade war. Look at the list of industries on which the United States has imposed tariffs on China, basically all of them are Made in China 2025 key development industries. This is meant to interrupt China's industrial upgrading process.
