China and Mongolia jointly established a currency swap agreement, creating a diplomatic feast on the global stage.
The feast attracted the attention of many countries, especially the self-proclaimed "caught off guard" United States, as if tormented by silent irony.
This agreement is actually a shining appearance of rare earth "smart calculation". The United States may be able to afford rare earths, but it cannot bypass China's door.
Rare earths are like high-tech spicy sauce, the United States may want it, but to enjoy it needs to bypass a "Chinese sauce".
After all, the final shipment of rare earths passes through China, which makes the United States realize once again that it cannot bypass China's geographical advantages at any time.
Rare earths are a "pearl" of the economic version of the "giant panda", and China is like a pearl in a temple, no matter how clever others calculate, it is difficult to escape the laws of nature.
This scene outlines the helplessness of the United States, as if a "rich man" has to go to the door to beg in person, only to find that there is a "watchdog" who refuses to be thousands of miles away.
What is more interesting is that China and Mongolia seem to have secretly played currency "rock-paper-scissors".
The local currency swap agreement is like a "scissors and scissors" between the two countries, directly using the local currency to trade, avoiding cumbersome currency exchange. This is a kind of "stone" to the traditional dollar hegemonic system.
This "scissors and scissors" agreement not only simplifies the trade process, but also creates a more favorable environment for companies in both countries, while the United States is anxiously like a child stepping on the "cloth" on the side, and has not been able to find anything to deal with.
At the same time, the agreement also brings a real "scissors" for the people of the two countries, allowing residents to make cross-border consumption and travel more convenient, while the United States seems to be able to watch "stone" over its own "cloth".
The Sino-Mongolian cooperation agreement is a comedy that mocks those who think they can ignore Chinese influence.
As the owner of rare earths, China is like an unhurried host, sitting in the hall and watching those hurried "guests" helplessly make a big circle.
On the global political stage, every move of countries has become a hilarious drama.
The Sino-Mongolian agreement makes people realize that geography, economy, politics, and all kinds of relationships are intertwined, forming a big joke.
Perhaps, when we lament the complexity of international relations, we only need a little more humor to see the funny and ironic.
On the stage of Sino-Mongolian cooperation, who is the actor and who is the audience may no longer be so clear.
