Then came the $253.5 billion luxury gift package that shocked China and foreign countries, dwarfing the15 billion investment 10 "gift package" that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the United States nine months ago. After all, Japan is only a tiny island country. How can its wealth and tolerance be compared with that of a lavish country? Trump's eyes are wide open, and his face and lining are closed.
Humble people may find it hard to imagine Trump's complicated mood at that time. After returning home, he only said angrily: "China, an economic power, actually said that it is a third world country." How many people can understand the meaning?
Ⅱ accuracy.
At the beginning of the designer reform, the motto of "keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile" was still in my ears. The Belt and Road Initiative and the majestic Boao Forum for Asia (20 18) ... China's limelight in recent years is really strong! On April 2nd, China Mobile joined hands with ZTE to launch the first domestic 5G mobile phone, aiming at opening the magnificent market curtain of 5G services.
For Trump, who has a deep-rooted concept of "America first", it is too difficult for you to keep him from sending it for a long time. On April 16, the US Department of Commerce announced that all American enterprises and individuals are prohibited from selling hardware, software or technical services to ZTE in any way for a period of seven years, with immediate effect until 2025.
The powerful ZTE was immediately like Achilles, who was hit in the heel by France in the Trojan War. Without the core, how can survival become precarious and real estate development cannot be transformed? At this moment, inspirational slogans such as "originality, self-improvement ..." are far from water and thirsty. Maybe only ZTE knows how pale they are!
However, the crackdown on "Made in China 2025" is obviously just a cover for the Trump administration. What is even more deadly is the financial war after the trade war. The goal is more clear, that is, RMB, or more specifically, "PetroRMB". On March 26th, China crude oil futures, closely watched by the whole world, went public in Shanghai, which ushered in a milestone moment against the hegemony of the US dollar. The author has written many times before that petrodollars are the core interests of the United States, and there is no one!
The White House has long lost sleep over oil and RMB. Not to mention, 65438+1October 18 is not a high-profile media announcement that "he can replace"? People on earth look at America with their eyes wide open. What should come will come sooner or later. The Sino-US trade war that began on March 8 was not unexpected, and it was a close hand-to-hand combat.
ⅲ drive up oil prices
All the resources and assets of an economy are measured in money, and nothing is more suitable for attacking the RMB system than oil. To manipulate oil prices, the United States must join hands with Saudi Arabia, the largest member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
The origin of Saudi Arabia and the United States is no secret. Of course, the most famous is the Petrodollar Agreement. The United States is responsible for ensuring Saudi Arabia's security, while the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries only accepts dollars for oil transactions. On March 20th, Crown Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia paid an unusual visit to the United States for three weeks. The two countries have signed 46 agreements in 10 key areas, with a total value of more than 400 billion US dollars, of which the total amount of projects signed by the petrochemical industry is as high as 72 billion US dollars.
Saudi Crown Prince's unusually long visit to the United States and strategic cooperation have bound Saudi Arabia and the United States more and more tightly. On April 12, Saudi Arabia expressed its hope to achieve the oil price level of $80. Less than a week later, on April 18, she changed her mind and hoped to reach $80 to 100. What do you mean? The idea of cooperating with the United States to drive up oil prices is obvious, which not only maximizes its own interests, but also caters to the strategic goals of the United States and hits oil-dependent countries hard. Under the cold eyes of the whole world, the world's largest oil importer can only helplessly swallow the bitter fruit.
The situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly clear, and the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia are getting closer and closer. In order to compete with Iran, a regional power, Russia, which has always wanted to have the right to speak in the Middle East, and of course Turkey, a wavering NATO country.
On April 13, the United States, Britain and France joined forces to fight Syria. The chaos in the Middle East will lead to an increase in oil prices, which is a truth that all countries understand. At the same time, Trump will decide whether to continue to impose economic sanctions on Iran on May 12. Remarkably, French President Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will visit the United States this week. What will Trump talk to France and Germany at that time? Regardless of the fate of Iran's nuclear deal, sanctions against Iran will definitely be an important topic.
