Egypt stopped buying, Indonesia stopped buying, and Thailand stopped buying. After this series of operations, how does it make people feel like they are playing again?
In fact, every step has its own little thoughts, and it is not a casual change of mind. Let's talk about Egypt first. It has been difficult for Egypt these years. We ordinary people are afraid of not having money in our hands, and this is even more true in the country. Egypt's dollar reserves have been tight in recent years. In the past two years, it even reached the point where it was almost impossible to turn around imported grain and oil.
Think about it, ordinary people need to eat and drive, but they have to buy these from abroad in US dollars. If they don't have US dollars in their hands, how will they live? Therefore, Egypt has been tightening its belt for the past two years. The International Monetary Fund has given it a loan on the condition that it must cut spending and spend the money well.
At this time, those large arms purchase orders that often cost billions of dollars will naturally have to be put aside first. It's not that you don't want to buy advanced weapons to defend the country, but you really have to take care of the people's daily necessities, rice, oil and salt first. We can't let everyone go hungry, right?
In the past, the United States gave Egypt a billion dollars of military aid annually, but this money is not in vain, often accompanied by various conditions, for a while to improve human rights, and for a while to take other things to the neck.
Egypt is also aggrieved. It cannot always live by watching other people's faces, so in the past few years, it has begun to try to buy weapons from other countries and put eggs in different baskets. However, I encountered my own financial difficulties at the beginning and had to stop for a while. Do you think you can blame Egypt for repeated? If anyone had no money in their hands and was restricted everywhere, wouldn't they be careful and careful?
However, life in Egypt has been a little better recently, and foreign exchange reserves have slowly risen back. By this year, there have been more than 47 billion U.S. dollars, and ordinary people are living a more practical life. When the economy slows down, those shelved procurement projects may be put on the agenda again. Therefore, Egypt is not "no longer buying", but "temporarily unable to afford it". We ordinary people can actually understand the difficulties in the middle.
Let's talk about Indonesia, it's not that it doesn't want to buy things, it's that it wants to buy in a more cost-effective way. Take Indonesia's nickel ore as an example, nearly half of the world's nickel is in its home, which is a precious knot, especially now that new energy vehicle batteries cannot do without nickel. In the past, Indonesia sold the nickel ore dug up directly to make some hard money.
But now people have figured it out that instead of selling cheap raw materials, it is better to build their own factories and process them into batteries, so that they can earn several times more money. Therefore, Indonesia has introduced policies to prevent the direct export of nickel ore, requiring foreign companies to open factories in Indonesia and build the industrial chain together.
When this policy came out, some foreign enterprises that originally only thought of buying minerals did not adapt, feeling that Indonesia had changed rumors.In fact, Indonesia was for long-term intentions, wanting to turn from "selling resources" to "manufacturing", so that the country truly wealthy.
Just like us ordinary people, who used to make a living by selling food, but now they have learned skills and opened a processing factory. The income will definitely be different. Indonesia's adjustment seems to be "not buying the original account", but in fact it wants to make the business bigger and more cost-effective. This kind of small idea is actually quite practical.
Finally, Thailand, it bought submarines that is more than a wave of three, but every step has a reason. Thailand wanted to buy submarines to defend the coastline a decade ago, choosing to choose the Chinese model, in 2017 signed a contract, said to buy three, spend $ 1 billion.
But the problem is the engine. Thailand originally designated to use the German engine, but because of the European Union's restrictions on China, Germany cannot sell it. This is like buying a car and specifying to import the engine, but they don't sell it. How can this car be made?
After the new government came to power, some people felt that spending so much money on submarines was not worth it, rather than spending the money on people's livelihoods.
In fact, this is normal. We ordinary people have to shop around to buy a large appliance. The country buys billions of equipment, so it is normal to weigh and bargain. Later, China proposed to replace it with its own engine, and the performance was not bad. After repeated research in Thailand, it finally relented this year, saying that it would continue to buy, but it was reduced from three ships to one. This is not a "play", it is clearly the buyer and seller who are running in and want to make this business happen.
So you see, Egypt is because the hand is tight, first take care of the stomach and the equipment; Indonesia is wanting to do business bigger, make a little more money; Thailand is buying things to choose three or four, wanting to buy the highest price ratio. These three countries each step of operation, are from their actual situation, fine-tuning for the country to spend the day.
These international transactions involve various factors such as economy, politics, and technology. They may seem capricious, but in fact they all have reasons. They are not "playing", but are trying their best to achieve the greatest interests of their country in a complex environment. To put it bluntly, this kind of small thinking is the same as how we ordinary people live their lives. They all want to live a good life and spend money on the cutting edge. After understanding this, you won't feel that they are messing around.
