Recently, Trump seemed to actually be on the verge of the Nobel Prize.
Not only did he miss the Nobel Peace Prize with which he had no fate, but he was also criticized by Nobel Prize winners twice in a row.
Prize winners in biology and physics have criticized Trump’s cuts in research funding for catastrophic consequences.
And after Trump sharply raised tariffs on China, he was called cowardly by economists, so why?
Tariffs again
After returning to the White House, Trump, in addition to the original King of Knowledge and the Emperor, added several new names, such as the Emperor of Taxes and the Emperor of Customs.
As for the reason, everyone understands it.
This second presidential term is less than a year old, and Trump has almost swung the tariff stick out of the afterimage!
However, you really don't say that although Trump's actions seem crazy, he really made a lot of benefits through the tariff war.
During the "peer-to-peer tariff" war in April this year, although Trump hit a nose ashes here in China, there are still more than 70 countries, choosing to raise the white flag.
In the first ten months of this year alone, U.S. tariff revenue actually reached $142 billion, do you know what the concept is?
In 2024, the United States 'annual tariff revenue will only be US$77 billion!
And, in this year, August 7, the EU, Japan and Korea were also opened by Trump, the United States has a great gift package of tariffs!
In addition to recognizing the 15% tariff of the United States, the European Union also promised to invest 600 billion dollars in the United States and purchase 750 billion dollars worth of American energy products in the next three years.
Japan and South Korea agreed to invest US $550 billion and US $350 billion in the United States respectively, and the profits generated by the investment would be divided into 19%, with them getting 10% and the United States getting 90%.
In addition, the two countries will also make concessions to the United States in the shipbuilding, steel, automotive and other industries.
It can be said that thanks to strong national strength, and Trump's completely face-free style, the United States has indeed won a big win on tariffs!
But that won’t be successful enough.
Because Trump's tariff stick has never been able to get a bargain here in China.
Since China has also dealt with Trump before, it knows what kind of person he is, and typically eats tough things rather than soft things.
Therefore, in early April this year, Trump spoke at the forefront of "reciprocal tariffs", and at the back, China immediately began reciprocal countermeasures.
After that, China and the United States held many games around the tariff dispute. The result was obvious. The United States, which could not hold back China, could only choose a temporary truce again and again.
But maybe recently Trump felt he was fine again.
On the 10th of October, the King declared:
As China has just upgraded its rare earth control measures,
Therefore, in retaliation, the United States will impose an additional 100% tariff on all products from China starting from October 1 on top of existing tariffs!
In addition, Trump also said that in this sanction against China, the United States will also implement export controls on all key software!
It looks really tough!
However, surprisingly, his seemingly harsh behavior against China has been called cowardly by Nobel Prize winners in economics and Wall Street analysts.
The ridicule of Trump.
I wonder if Trump has recently clashed with Nobel Prize recipients?
Always have a wonderful connection with the Nobel Prize winner.
For example, on October 7th, when the Nobel Prize winners in biology and physics publicly criticized Trump for cutting scientific research funding,
On October 11, Trump flashed and publicly stated that he would misuse 8 billion research funds to deploy soldiers!
Moreover, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado, who is a Venezuelan, but is the real White House downline, is a pro-American anti-commission!
In other words, Trump's yearning peace prize was robbed by his subordinates!
Don't you think this is a rebellion against Tiangang?
Just now, Mokiel, the new Nobel Prize winner in Economics, called Trump a coward! He said: "Trump Always Chickens Out."
Translated into Chinese, it means “Trump always retreats!”
It is estimated that many people will see this and feel that it is difficult for this new winner to think that Trump is not extreme enough?
Otherwise, how could he do this, Trump always withdrawing such comments?
In fact, this statement has also been unanimously approved by a number of Wall Street analysts.
Why do experts in economics say that?
First of all, in Mokir's view, the two core challenges in today's world are climate change and population aging, and the fundamental way to solve these two challenges is technological innovation.
Unfortunately, in this regard, the United States is now far behind China.
For example, when it comes to the utilization of renewable energy, China and the United States are no longer in the same order of magnitude.
In this regard, the US "New York Times" reporter recently introduced China's special high-voltage transmission power, expressed no envy,
With this technology, China can deliver electricity from Northwestern solar and wind power directly to the province of Anguilla, about 3,200 kilometers away.
And not only has the electricity delivered by this technology exceeded any power grid line in the United States, but there are also as many as 42 such lines in China!
And what about Trump?
Isn’t it always crying out to revitalize American manufacturing and make America great again?
But why does Trump always choose to retreat whenever it really involves revitalizing domestic manufacturing?
Why can't we learn from China?
Renovate and renovate, the tattered infrastructure in America that hasn't been overhauled in decades?
Even Trump himself, and the U.S. infrastructure is not in the flow?
Does Trump’s so-called bravery, the so-called making America great again, be limited to tariff wars and stock markets?
Is this behavior not cowardly?
In contrast, the conclusions drawn by Wall Street analysts are not as sharp, but they are also quite face-to-face.
Because after summing up the previous Sino-US trade war, they drew a conclusion in advance about Trump's tariff war with China.
Just like the previous time, Trump is going to retreat.
Because the current situation between China and the United States has not changed much, and Trump does not seem to have any new tricks to threaten China.
Under such circumstances, it has long been impossible to get rid of China's dependence economically.
The United States, which is militarily difficult to pose a substantial threat to China,
There seems to be no other answer than to repeat the previous mistakes.
Did Trump not know this?
3. Trump's abacus
Not surprisingly, China responded quickly after receiving the notification of a new round of tariff sanctions by Trump.
On October 13th, when Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference, he gave a clear answer to this matter:
If the United States insists on going its own way, China will resolutely take corresponding measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
Anyway, it's not like I haven't touched it before. At worst, we can fight another battle. China is not afraid!
But then again, it's only been a few months since the last tariff war between China and the United States. Is it possible that Trump has already reached this point of Alzheimer's disease?
In fact, Trump knows better than anyone else. Even if he doesn't, someone in the White House and Congress will make him clear.
So why would he still do that?
Because Trump has many thoughts!
First of all, I don't know if everyone has discovered that Americans especially like to use non-native ones.
That is, the United States first unilaterally imposes sanctions on a country, and then uses this as a code in negotiations in exchange for the other country's concessions,
Trump has taken this trick more than in the previous "reciprocal tariffs" dialogue.
Now it is estimated that Trump is repeating his old tricks, hoping to pass this so-called 100% tariff increase in exchange for China's concessions in some aspects, such as buying more American soybeans.
Secondly, everyone has heard about the current situation in the United States. The government shutdown is unlikely to end in the short term.
Trump did not rush to panic about this, but instead began to cut jobs and kick those Democratic civil servants out of the government door.
There is no doubt that Trump's behavior really caused public outrage.
After all, the U.S. government hasn’t stopped so much before, but it doesn’t have him cut jobs like that!
In addition, a government shutdown would seriously affect the lives of the American people, which naturally would seriously affect Trump’s vote.
Therefore, Trump wants to divert domestic conflicts by showing his toughness with China.
This move is also a routine routine for American politicians.
In addition, please note that Trump has said that the date of entry into force of the sanctions is November 1.
But the question is, what is Trump's style of behavior?
Today's me is not tomorrow's me, and tomorrow's me will not be the day after tomorrow.
Although he is indeed the president of the United States, he can really fart what he says! And there is no psychological burden!
So, don't mind, before the arrival of November 1, Trump again withdrew what he said, anyway, a similar scene, everyone is also strange.
Understand Wang, it's a bit outrageous, not unusual.
Finally, there is another very important point. Trump wants to impose sanctions on China.
But the problem is, the U.S. government is still paralyzed! More than 700,000 civil servants are on unpaid vacation, more than 1.3 million soldiers can't get paid, and a large number of civil servants are in a panic all day for fear of being laid off.
In this context, are you sure that the United States can effectively impose sanctions on China?
Can Trump’s bill be approved by the Democrats in Congress, and even if it is passed, who will implement it?
Conclusion:
Do weak countries really have no diplomacy?
This is bad to say,
But what is certain is that today's China is not a weak country.
The Trump set is useful for countries smaller than the United States, but for China, how cool it is!
Moreover, for today's United States, compared with suppressing China, it is more important to solve its own internal disadvantages for many years, which is the key to determining whether the United States can be great again.
Unfortunately, at this point, Trump is indeed a coward, at every critical moment, always choosing to retreat, only daring to outright against the weak to show his hardness.
