***Terms of ceasefire

Thread Content

The Sino-US trade war has reached a critical stage. The White House has made it clear that if China wants a ceasefire, it must meet four conditions set by the United States: 1. Give China one year to reduce its trade surplus by 100 billion dollars. 2. China opens its financial and e-commerce markets to the United States. 3. China is not allowed to exchange markets for technology. 4. It is prohibited to use **subsidies for industry policies; specifically, implementing “Made in China 2025” is not allowed. Does the U.S. want to force China to sign unequal treaties? These four conditions expose completely the malicious intentions of the United States and its schemes to undermine China’s future! (1). A reduction of $100 billion per year. For nearly 20 years, U.S. officials have shared a common view: it is necessary to keep putting pressure on China to raise the value of the RMB. A rise in the value of the RMB means two things: first, the $3 trillion that the United States owes China will decrease ； Second, if the prices of products exported by China rise, there will be no market for them, as import and export trade accounts for around 40% of China’s GDP. By forcing China to reduce its trade deficit by 100 billion within a year, the United States is trying to push up the value of the RMB. For example, originally 1 dollar could buy Chinese products worth 10 yuan, but after the RMB appreciated, 1 dollar can only buy Chinese products worth 5 yuan. As a result, the purchasing power of the dollar will shift to other products that are cheaper in price. This is America’s plot: to force the RMB to appreciate by covert means, thereby hitting China’s export trade and, in turn, its GDP. That’s how Japan was brought down back then. By 1980, Japan, having experienced rapid development, had become the world’s largest exporter of industrial goods. Japan at that time was like China today; its advanced manufacturing industry created an economic miracle. In the United States, 60% of industrial products are supplied by Japan ； Three out of every five cars on the road are manufactured in Japan ； Among the top 20 M&A deals in terms of scale from 1985 to 1989, 17 were Japanese companies acquiring American companies. In contrast, the U.S. economy has been in recession year after year. The United States’ persistent and repeated demands for Japan to open its market proved ineffective; ultimately, it resorted to tough measures and took drastic action! In 1985, the four major U.S. powers forced Japan to sign the Plaza Accord; as a result, the yen was forced to appreciate, and Japan’s foreign exchange reserves vanished by hundreds of billions of dollars in an instant! Worse still, the appreciation of the yen dealt a fatal blow to Japan’s export industry. Against the backdrop of a comprehensive decline in assets, many Japanese companies went bankrupt. Since 1991, there have been over 10,000 companies that went bankrupt with debts of 10 million yen or more each year. From 1990 to 1996, the average number of bankrupt companies in Japan reached as high as 14,000 per year. The massive collapse of businesses led to the complete breakdown of the Japanese economy, with millions more people losing their jobs! The situation is so dire that even housewives have to go out and prostitute themselves on the streets. Japan’s famous forest of suicides – suicide rates here reached their peak in the early 1990s, with over 2,000 deaths. Just the Plaza Accord caused Japan to regress by twenty years! Even up to the outbreak of the Sino-U.S. trade war, Japan’s former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Fukuda did not fail to use the tragedies that befell Japan back then in an article published in the People’s Daily to warn China—that China should learn from Japan’s mistakes and be more vigilant against the United States! (2) Opening up the financial and e-commerce markets – this condition focuses on finance; the United States’ move is aimed at harming Chinese investors. Compared to others, China’s financial market has safeguards, protections, and support teams. In the Chinese stock market, American financial giants simply can’t get their hands on any money! Imagine that once the Chinese stock market opens, a large amount of speculative capital from Wall Street will quickly flood into China. By then, American capitalists will be able to short-sell whenever they want or drive stock prices up as they see fit; millions of Chinese stock investors will become mere pawns for Wall Street, and the Chinese stock market will be completely under their control. Two things. Firstly, the stock market crash in China in 2015; it is said that international capital was used to short-sell the Chinese market in order to steal money from China. In June, the China Securities Regulatory Commission took action, with several funds such as China Securities Finance Corporation and China International Capital Corporation pouring money into the market to stabilize it. At the beginning of July, solely China Securities Finance Corporation received support from 17 commercial banks, which enabled it to inject a massive amount of 2.5 trillion yuan into the stock market. After a fierce struggle, the forces of conspiracy were defeated, and Chinese stock market investors were saved. Secondly, the financial crisis of 1997. International speculative capital led by Soros is plundering Southeast Asia. Without **intervention and substantial financial support, the countries in Southeast Asia were left completely helpless; they lost hundreds of billions of dollars in just one night, with some going bankrupt, others committing suicide, and still others resorting to robbery. The consequences of being plundered by international hot money are more terrifying than waging a war. During the same period, **, thanks to funds provided by the central government and administrative measures used to intervene in the market, it managed to achieve a decisive victory. The difference between Southeast Asia and China lies in whether there is administrative intervention or not. The United States wants China to open up its financial markets; in other words, it’s to make it easier for the U.S. to steal money from China! (3) Technology exchange is not allowed in the Chinese market. Industry policies cannot be implemented through subsidies; the entire trade war is aimed at \"Made in China 2025\", that is, China’s high-tech sector. Why? Because China’s two key weapons to undermine America’s high-end industries have been used once again—the State Council has introduced special subsidies for technologies in these high-end industries. At the beginning of this year, in an effort to overcome the challenges related to domestic chips, **hundreds of millions were invested; domestic chips and memory modules will be available soon this year! Acquire core technologies through market cooperation or direct mergers and acquisitions. The U.S. Trade Representative’s office said that COMAC used market access as a condition to \"force\" them to establish production lines in China for technology transfer, in order to ensure the domestic supply chain for the domestically produced large aircraft C919. Apart from these two points, many other industries in our country have achieved success in the same way – China’s high-speed rail industry, for instance, acquired technology through market exchanges with countries such as Europe, thereby becoming the best in the world ； China State Shipbuilding, **after integrating the shipbuilding industry, has risen to the top of the world in terms of production volume and technology. Sinochem Agro acquired Syngenta to gain world-class agricultural gene technology. China today will never compromise! America’s four conditions each put China in a deadly position; they are nothing but unequal treaties of the new era! Especially the last point is tantamount to saying in front of China’s face: Your Chinese people will forever be forced to make clothes, shoes, and toys, serving as a source for cheap goods from Europe and America! Can we agree to keep China’s descendants in slavery generation after generation? No, we will never agree! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: If war breaks out, China will fight to the end! The People’s Daily says: China’s new measures to expand openness do not apply to the United States! Xinhua News Agency went even further, stating: Let there be no saying that we did not warn you! What does “Do not say I did not warn you” mean? If you keep causing trouble, I’ll beat the shit out of you! In this trade war, the United States thought that China would choose peace. To everyone’s surprise around the world, China abandoned its gentle and polite demeanor and immediately started beating the United States mercilessly. Same scale, same intensity: 50 billion against 50 billion, 25% against 25%; a whole bunch of powerful assets such as aircraft, soybeans, and crude oil futures are brought into play right away. Sohoo keeps piling up chips – do you dare to go all in or not? No one understands why China didn’t just give in this time Why such unprecedented toughness? Why go to any length, even start a world war, to fight the United States to the end? Only we Chinese know it well. Because we fear history repeating itself! Because we’re afraid of repeating the same mistakes! Because we’ve been beaten enough! In the past, we made compromises, and as a result we got the Treaty of Nanjing; more compromises led to the Boxer Protocol; and further compromises resulted in our territories being leased out at will ； Compromise came with the Nanjing Massacre** ； The compromises led to the Chinese nation becoming a synonym for an \"inferior race\"... Ironically, our compromises brought substantial spoils to the great powers, brought prosperity and joy to the United States, brought powerful ships and weapons to Japan, brought luxury and indulgence to France, and brought grand ambitions to Britain! *Say: Seek peace through compromise, and peace will perish! 14 years of resistance, 30 million lives lost – through it we achieved independence and self-governance. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, in the snowy fields of Seoul and Changjin Lake, we proved ourselves to be a world power. In the counteroffensive against India, in the deserts of Aksai Chin and the valleys of southern Tibet, we achieved third place in the world. In response to Vietnam, in the highlands of Liangshan and at the gates of Gaoping, we secured thirty years of peace! Today, China’s GDP ranks second in the world, while its industrial output far exceeds that of the United States and Europe ； Today, China possesses the strongest **military power** in the Eastern Hemisphere, as well as the most formidable capacity for war mobilization in the world ； Today, China’s J-20 stands at the pinnacle, aircraft carriers roam the seas, and nuclear submarines operate in the depths ； The Belt and Road Initiative is fully underway; Chinese manufacturing is dominating the world; a great rejuvenation is right before our eyes! We dared to face the extremely difficult times of the past head held high; how could China, which is so powerful today, bow its head and seek peace? Americans are well aware that China has a large number of traitors and collaborators; once the White House speaks up, no matter what conditions it sets, these scoundrels will cheer for them in an attempt to influence public opinion and force China to sign unequal treaties! Every Chinese person should understand that this trade conflict is not just friction, but a war. It was the largest, most impactful, and most significant battle since the reform and opening up ； It is a battle that will determine China’s future destiny ； It is the battle that China must fight to achieve another golden age akin to those of the Han and Tang dynasties! Once an economic war breaks out, no one can stay out of it; everyone has a responsibility to fight against the enemies and traitors, as well as against the United States. I firmly believe that China will, as a victor, perfectly embody the words of its founding leaders: The great Chinese people are invincible! When you finish reading it, you have two options: 1.
