The financial market is a place of intrigue and intrigue, and in this invisible financial war, the US boss has always had the upper hand and commanded without saying anything. But once the power is in our hands, it is easy to become addicted, get sick, and do things wrong. The sudden interest rate hike in the United States has messed up the global financial market, and even its own younger brothers have suffered, with the exchange rate plummeting and capital outflow, and the situation is terrible. Does the United States want to drag everyone into the cliff together, and do you want to hear what thrilling things the United States and its younger brothers have experienced in this financial war?
Allies turn into health packs
The United States has always regarded financial warfare as its trump card, and wants to attract a large amount of capital back by constantly raising interest rates, so as to control the global financial lifeline and consolidate its hegemony in the stage of financial capital. But now the constant changes in the financial market have made the United States somewhat unable to resist, and the situation has put all countries in a difficult situation, and the United States itself cannot protect itself.
In the face of this hot situation, the United States has chosen to treat some of its allies as cannon fodder, and Japan is the first to bear the brunt. The U.S. lion opened its mouth and demanded that Japan lower its exchange rate, which would allow U.S. consortia to buy Japanese assets at low cost. At the same time, the United States has also forced Japan to keep raising interest rates, causing a large amount of capital to flow into the United States, so that its economy can recover from the cold winter.
Vampire America
It's like a vampire who is constantly sucking blood from his "allies" to replenish his own life force. And Japan and Vietnam, two countries that relied on the United States to make small achievements in the past, are now being overshadowed by the big brother and embarrassed. The arrogant attitude of the United States towards them is simply overbearing to the extreme: if you lower the exchange rate to my advantage, it would be good for you to make a profit, and I am not satisfied with it if you are not there!
In the face of such arrogance and unreasonableness of the United States, Japan and Vietnam could not do anything but obediently. After all, they relied on the United States to drink a lot of fatty broth back then, and now they have come to this point of their own infliction. It is too cruel for them to be forced to lower the exchange rate and accept exploitation by the United States, but also to worry about the risk of being abandoned by this backer of the year. Not to mention that the money has been hollowed out in vain, it is really wronged to be exploited!
Trying to turn over and cause trouble
In the face of such a hegemonic approach by the United States, Vietnam has tried to join hands with China to seek a way to turn around. Because after our new leader takes office, China's national strength is rebounding in an all-round way, and Vietnam, as China's neighbor, can join hands with China is also the best choice. Vietnam has also had enough of the days of being a "blood bag" for the United States.
But it will not be easy to get out of the grip of the United States. Vietnam's attempt is simply causing trouble, and it is directly facing a triple kill situation in the stock market, bond market, and foreign exchange market. In this interlocking and passive situation that affects the whole body, whether Vietnam can control the situation and achieve difficult self-redemption has made countless capital predators salivate and watch. The crisis in Vietnam aside, Japan's situation is also precarious. The depreciation of the yen has sounded the alarm, and Japan may be wiped out by global capital at any time. The impact of high foreign debt and China's industrial upgrading put Japan in a dilemma, and at first it chose to hold on to ultra-loose monetary policy. After all, Japan knows too well that it can't afford to raise interest rates, and has just ended the era of negative interest rates, and economic recovery is the top priority.
Can you afford the consequences?
The Bank of Japan's decision to "not raise interest rates" at the end of the year quickly annoyed the United States. The United States immediately issued an ultimatum to Japan. On the day of the meeting, the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office conducted a surprise search of the Japanese cabinet on the grounds of violating the Party Fee Law. This special search department is not a small role, it used to be the eyeliner of the United States in Japan, and now it is the "big killer weapon" of the United States. The results of the search showed that the amount involved was as high as 1.5 billion yen, which directly hit three factions, including Kishida. This is undoubtedly an ultimatum issued by the United States to Japan: Can you afford the consequences of not raising interest rates?
In the face of the United States' attempt to kill you 3,000 yuan, Japan was obviously frightened and immediately made a decision to directly bow down to the big brother of the United States. Under the deterrence of the United States, Japan had no choice but to keep raising interest rates during the economic downturn, sacrificing its own interests to help the United States, so that global capital continued to flow to the United States.
China is in a league of its own
In this torrent of global interest rate hikes, China is an "impregnable wall". After China snooped on the conspiracy of the United States, the renminbi not only did not raise interest rates, but continued to cut interest rates in recent years. At the same time, more and more renminbi flows to the global market through the Belt and Road Initiative, providing strong economic support for Asian, African and Latin American countries. China has also converted its U.S. debt into renminbi debt, helping these countries avoid a possible bankruptcy crisis in the U.S. interest rate hike chess game. All this has greatly annoyed the United States, but it has nothing to do.
As Professor Wen Tiejun said, the first decade of the 21st century is the best period for the Sino-US strategic partnership. But after the '08 financial tsunami, China was disillusioned with the United States, which was unwilling to take any responsibility, and no longer maintained the economic operation of the United States. Professor Wen believes that since the second decade of the 21st century, China and the United States have gone against each other in areas such as finance, and have turned from strategic partners to competitors, which is an irreversible process.
The big game of "interest rate hike" of the United States is no longer stopping, and China is also regarded by the United States as an opponent of the main contradiction. Although China does not want to cause trouble, the behavior of the United States is restless. In the face of the financial blockade of the United States, China is temporarily passive, but it still has enough confidence to deal with it calmly. It's hard to say who will come out on top and who will be the winner, so let's wait and see. What are your thoughts? Welcome to share in the comment area!
