For some time, the yen has rapidly fallen against the dollar, and now it has fallen to a few hundred points in 154. This is the lowest level in the last 37 years, and it is a very dangerous threshold predicted by many financial experts.
If the yen falls below 1:155 against the dollar, the Japanese economy will be very seriously adversely affected, and Japan is entirely to blame for the current predicament.
They are too weak in the face of the United States. Many American capital predators are waiting for the collapse of the Japanese economy.
1. Japan's economic problems are related to interest rate hikes
The economic problems that Japan is facing today are directly related to those of the United States. The United States has been raising interest rates like crazy during this time, and the idea of raising interest rates is to realize the economic plunder of countries around the world.
By acquiring a large number of high-quality foreign assets, we will feed back the situation in the United States.
According to the harvesting process of the United States using financial hegemony in the past, every time the dollar raises interest rates, there will always be a few countries that are forced to compromise because they can't bear the pressure.
These compromises and concessions often occur within half a year of the Fed's interest rate hikes, but no country has yet explicitly compromised with the United States.
This round of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve has been maintained for a long time, and the Fed itself is a little unable to withstand it.
The United States no longer picks the target of plunder, and as long as any country cannot resist it first, the United States will attack whoever it wants.
And now, Japan is the most unconfident of all the major economies facing the United States.
Other major economies have fought back in various ways in the face of the financial harvest of the United States.
Russia is under sanctions, so Russia is engaged in comprehensive de-dollarization, established a local currency trade settlement system with other countries, and even completely eliminated the use of dollars in Sino-Russian trade.
For China, we have also taken a series of countermeasures in response to the financial attack of the United States, such as the central bank of the mainland is cutting the reserve requirement ratio and releasing reserves to the market, and we have also launched counterattacks against the United States in some areas.
We are also engaged in de-dollarization, the introduction of gold, and even the fact that China has used a weapon that will have a severe impact on the US economy, which is the massive sell-off of US bonds.
Since the beginning of 2022, we have sold hundreds of billions of dollars in US Treasuries. This has also had a huge impact on the US financial bond system.
This series of actions by China has made the United States feel the confidence and toughness of the mainland, so the United States can no longer cut off China and Russia, the two main targets of plunder that the United States first selected. And Europe is also united in promoting the internationalization of the euro.
Japan, on the other hand, is hardly able to fight back in the face of financial pressure from the United States.
In fact, the United States is raising interest rates, and for some countries, the best way to deal with it is to raise interest rates in the same proportion.
Japan has also chosen this method, which will not be completely opposed to the United States, to deal with the financial harvest of the United States.
Of course, due to other factors such as politics or economics, Japan did not dare to raise interest rates too much, and only raised interest rates by a few tenths of a percent, which is basically the same as not raising interest rates.
It is also this kind of action of the Japanese Government that has made those capitalists in the United States clearly see Japan's foreign power and middle strength.
I am afraid that Japan is currently the weakest of all major economies against the United States, except for South Korea.
As long as the United States is willing to take action against Japan, those capitalists in the United States will flock to attack and short the yen, and I am afraid that the yen will have no means to deal with it. And now, that's exactly how things are going.
2. Warren Buffett shorts the yen
Now Warren Buffett, a famous financial investor in the United States and a financial predator, is frantically shorting the yen. In doing so, Buffett wants to lower the yen's exchange rate against the United States, thereby causing turmoil in the Japanese economic system.
At present, the large American trusts led by Warren Buffett seem to have begun to enter the harvest of Japan's wealth.
According to the financial report released by Berkshire Hathaway, they issued another yen debt two days ago.
The total amount of this yen debt has reached 263.3 billion yuan, and although it is only a dozen billion dollars when converted into dollars, it will also pull down the yen against the United States again when reflected in the economy.
Many financial experts believe that Berkshire, under Warren Buffett's leadership, wants to lock in a low exchange rate and then frantically floods the Japanese market. Obtain financial financing in Japan at a very low cost and purchase high-quality assets in Japan.
From 2019 to 2024, Buffett's company has issued more than $10 billion in yen bonds, and Buffett is frantically buying stocks in the Japanese stock market. This is very bad news for the Japanese.
In addition to the US financial industry led by Warren Buffett who is taking action, US politicians have also shown an aggressive posture towards Japan.
Former US President Donald Trump has already attacked Japan in public. When he was president, he spent a lot of time telling Japan not to confront the United States.
Mr. Trump also said that he had imposed restrictions on Japan, and that Mr. Trump was a very special participant in this year's presidential election, in addition to being the former president of the United States.
Trump has essentially locked in the Republican primary. Coupled with the rapid rise of right-wing forces in the United States, many forecasters believe that Trump has a good chance of winning this year's presidential election.
So does the fact that the reigning president is now openly singing about Japan mean that Trump and the other Republicans behind him are also thinking about shorting the Japanese economy and plundering Japan's wealth? If this kind of thing really happens, the impact on Japan will be too great.
Although the Republican Party is not currently the ruling party in Japan, the Republican Party is indeed a politically radical party, and they also control the House of Representatives of the United States Congress.
And the Republican Party does have deep-seated alliances with the big plutocracy in the United States.
Trump's statement will cause more American capitalists to enter the market to short the yen, and even attack the Japanese economy.
In the face of this, the Japanese government may not be able to do anything. After all, the current Japanese government is in a hurry to discuss the issue of Japan-US military cooperation with the Democratic Party of Japan.
If it maintains a financial confrontation with the United States at this time, then Japan will not be able to get the political understanding from the United States that it wants to develop its military strength.
So Japan has been pushed into a corner by the United States, and they are in a dilemma.
If the United States reacts to the financial harvesting of the United States, or even launches a counterattack, the US-Japan relationship will certainly suffer.
But if it doesn't act, Japan will become the biggest victim of this round of dollar interest rate hikes and financial harvesting.
What happened to Japan also shows how dangerous it is for a country to be economically and politically dependent on other countries without complete sovereignty.
Japan's fate is equivalent to being in the hands of the United States, and they themselves are almost powerless to resist pressure in the face of the frenzied suppression of the United States.
Third, the United States cannot be trusted
It can also be seen from the fact that those capitalists in the United States, and even some politicians in the United States, are calling for shorting the yen and attacking the Japanese economy, that the United States is an untrustworthy country.
In the United States, politicians, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, they are politically divided on the surface, but in fact everyone is a staunch America First. They always have only the interests of the United States on their minds.
In order to gain more interests for the United States, they do not hesitate to harm the interests of other countries, even the interests of US allies. And Japan is the victim this time.
As far as those allies of the United States are concerned, they should also exercise caution and restraint when cooperating with the United States.
Perhaps these countries will become the next target of the United States.
As the international situation changes, it will be more difficult for the United States to recklessly harvest the world economy as it did before.
Because almost all countries with conscience and bottom line are promoting de-dollarization, in order to defeat the status quo of the US economy dominating the world and prevent the United States from continuing to plunder the world through financial means.
And now, the actions taken by countries are by no means useless. The overall share of the dollar in global trade has indeed declined, and the current share of the dollar is about 47%.
Although it is still the world's largest currency, it is down 25% from its peak, while other currencies such as the euro, the yuan, and the ruble are developing rapidly.
Countries around the world are also signing local currency cooperation agreements with each other in an orderly manner, which is simply to use their own national currencies for trade settlement.
This means that the hegemony of the dollar is gradually collapsing in a relatively slow, but almost irreversible manner.
It is impossible for the United States to maintain its existing economic superiority for a long time and plunder the countries of the world. Therefore, what all countries in the world have to do is to wait quietly, and after the complete collapse of the dollar system, it will be completely impossible for the United States to plunder the world.
I also hope that some countries, including Japan, which maintain special cooperation with the United States itself, will not be on the wrong side.
Now they continue to favor the United States and cooperate with the United States, and the final result is that they will also become the target of the United States' harvest and suppression.
Is Japan willing to be suppressed and plundered by the United States forever? In the past 20 to 30 years, Japan's economy has not developed much, and the United States has to attack Japan's idea at every turn, and the wealth that the Japanese have worked so hard to create has ended up being used as a wedding dress for other countries.
epilogue
The rapid decline of the yen against the US dollar has had a very large economic impact. At present, Japan's economic situation is indeed not optimistic.
However, if Japan is willing to stand up bravely against the United States and oppose the financial harvest of the United States, it is not impossible for Japan to fight for a way out.
However, if Japan continues to be submissive in the face of the United States, as it is now, the final result will be that they will once again become the biggest victims of the financial harvest of the United States.
