The U.S. Treasury Secretary is perverted!
According to foreign media sources, the U.S. Treasury Secretary said that if there is no agreement with China in Malaysia this time, it will join forces with the U.S. and European countries to impose a new round of deep sanctions on China!
You heard me right, it's not a general sanction, it's "deep". It sounded like he was going to stab the knife deeper, and the tone was a little more aggressive than ever before. The question is, does this trick really still work?
Let's talk about the background of this time first. This is not the first time that Yellen has released a signal to China that "cautious friendliness" mixed with "hidden threats". Since she took office, the economic consultation between China and the United States has never stopped.
Especially after the so-called "de-risking" strategy was proposed, the United States frequently attacked China's new energy, chips and other fields. This time, I said it so directly. To put it bluntly, I still want to exchange bargaining chips through "pressure".
However, what is different from the past is that this time, even the words of "sanctions if there is no agreement" have been put on the surface, which is indeed a bit "abnormal". But the question arises. Does the United States really have the confidence to continue to increase sanctions?
Not to mention that China is no longer the small country that relied on exporting textiles twenty or thirty years ago. Now China is one of the cores of the global industrial chain. China is either a leader or an irreplaceable participant in the fields of new energy, electric vehicles, rare earths, and lithium batteries.
If you want sanctions, the price will of course have to be borne together. It's like you want to punish someone, but you empty your wallet. What are you doing? According to normal logic, the U.S. Treasury Secretary is certainly aware of this truth, but he still wants to make harsh words, which may be more for domestic listening.
Because the internal affairs of the United States are really not easy at the moment. inflation has not been under pressure, many people on the government's economic policy evaluation is also common, and next year is the year of the presidential election, Yellen this time came out "show hard", also to the government dispute.
But in the end, the duty of the finance minister is to guard the country's money pocket, not to scare others with a whistle.The more she speaks, the more it shows that there is actually nothing inside the United States to play, the rest is the mouth.
On the surface, the U.S. says “United U.S. sanctions together” and sounds like a global unity, in fact, Europe is now busy mitigating its own energy crisis and economic recession risk, who has the mind to accompany the U.S. performance?
German Chancellor Schulz recently said that he should strengthen cooperation with China. France is also celebrating the China-France Cultural Year, and Meloni is also reassessing its economic and trade relations with China.
To put it bluntly, European countries know that if they continue to confront China, they may not be able to afford it. The United States wants to use the "alliance" to embolden itself, but it's hard to say how strong this alliance is.
Moreover, the current situation is not the era where the United States has the final say. The changes in the global industrial chain, the rise of developing countries, and the collective voice of countries in the global South all illustrate one thing: unilateralism and coercive diplomacy are long outdated.
The US Treasury Secretary is also scared by the old tricks, it is not surprising that netizens are mocked by the "deformity". this is not to say that she herself is unreasonable, but that the set of hegemonic thinking in the United States has not been updated so far, and the ability to face reality has been seriously lagging behind.
In general, this Yellen speech, although the tone has been upgraded, but in essence is a "false voice". the game between China and the United States is no longer a "I jointly sanction you" can determine the victory.
Especially in a third-party country like Malaysia, saying such words is more like a political performance. It's just that the audience will get bored of this performance after watching too much. No matter how the lines are upgraded, they cannot hide the anxiety behind them.
If the United States really wants to solve the problem, I'm afraid it has to start by updating its cognition, otherwise, any more slogans of "deep sanctions" are shouted out, and it will just be a vibration in the air.
