Chen Xianyi: We must be especially vigilant against certain "economists" who are actually ghosts

Recently, with Blinken's visit to China, there has been a lot of public opinion that the United States will likely impose sanctions on Chinese financial institutions, and even said that the United States will "use SWIFT sanctions to target China and kick China out of the SWIFT system, which is China's catastrophe." Regarding such news, first of all, it was first sent on the US social platform, and secondly, on the Chinese social platform, some pro-US Chinese accounts are desperately spreading, saying that the United States will launch "financial nuclear bomb" level sanctions against China, and these remarks ultimately emphasize one result, that is, once the United States kicks the country out of the SWIFT system, China will be forced to close the country, and foreign trade will be completely suspended. That is, the United States wants to "zero" China.

In this regard, Mr. Sima Pingbang has a long article, which is thorough and reasonable, and I am quite inspired after reading it.

We can safely say that this is the United States putting pressure on China in order to cooperate with Blinken's visit to China. The question is that this is not the case at all, so why are some pro-US big Vs in China so excited? Why are they so actively cooperating with the United States in making a noise of public opinion? This is very intriguing.

It is not the first time for the United States to use a "financial nuclear bomb" against another nuclear power, and the United States was the first to deal with Russia in this way. When the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out in 2022, Russia was kicked out of SWIFT by the United States all of a sudden. Through such sanctions, the United States is said to have frozen Russian assets to $300 billion, and they believe that the collapse and disintegration of Russia is a matter of minutes.

But their judgment was greatly wronged. Surprisingly, the "nuclear bomb-level sanctions" of the United States were still withstood by Russia in one breath. One of Russia's key figures played a key role at a critical moment, and that figure was the head of the Central Bank of Russia, Elivira Sahipuzadovna Nabiullina. The female governor, who was born in 1963, quickly offered President Putin a plan, which is often referred to as the "ruble settlement order". Didn't you, the United States and Western countries, impose financial sanctions on Russia? Didn't we turn all the dollars in our hands into waste paper? Didn't we let Russia die? Well, whoever buys Russia's hard currency, oil and natural gas, in the future must also use rubles. Anyway, the Americans kicked Russia out of the dollar settlement system, so the Russians simply don't accept dollars, only rubles.

Although the "ruble settlement order" seems to be extremely risky, it is extremely effective. For Russia, this is a big killer move to defuse the crisis.

Looking at the clamor of the United States today, it seems that we are facing the same problem. The United States is clamoring with all its mightiness to sacrifice a "financial nuclear bomb" against us in a last-ditch effort, and we must be prepared for whatever the purpose of the United States. Truth be told, we don't have the extremely rich oil and gas resources of Russia to confront the United States, but we don't have to worry about it. Just as Mr. Sima Pingbang pointed out in his commentary, the United States used the means of financial nuclear bombs to sanction us, but it is not sure who will hurt us in the end? For example, the United States did not overthrow Russia with a "financial nuclear bomb" against Russia, and certainly did not overthrow the United States, but it did indeed overthrow Europe.

With China, this is even more unknown. Although we do not have as abundant energy resources as Russia, we should be confident enough that China is the world's second largest economy, the largest trading body, the world's largest manufacturing entity that surpasses nine countries, including the United States, and controls the world's largest supply of daily necessities, if the United States hegemonically kicks us out of the SWIFT system, will it only be China that will suffer? I am afraid that it is the SWIFT system itself and the whole world that will suffer the most.

The consequences of the U.S. financial sanctions against Russia do exist and do play a role, but more than two years after the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia has achieved high growth not seen in 10 years, and Russia's expected GDP growth rate in 2024 has been adjusted to more than 3% by the IMF. The Americans believe that this is the rapidly expanding Sino-Russian trade that is supporting Russia, so it is now and has long been directly pointing the finger at China and using a series of means to intimidate China.

If China should be vigilant and worried, it is not that it is worried about anything else, but that it is worried about the key person we should have at the critical moment, and this key person is the Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, Elivira Sahipuzadovna Nabiullina, who has the means to dedicate himself to his country and the nation at the critical moment. However, what worries us precisely is that at such a special moment, we do not hear many words that boost the morale of the people and strengthen the army, but on the contrary, some people often use American-phobic, flattering, and American-phobic remarks to intimidate the Chinese people. At present, tension with the United States has reached the point of saber-rattling, and these people are still there bent on spreading the rhetoric that the United States is invincible and urging us to disarm. If these people are ordinary people, they are still dressed as experts and professors, and they have the right to speak at critical moments. If these people are a family, a specific small unit is just that, the key is that these people sometimes hold various titles and have the power to participate in decision-making. When the country is in danger, if these people have bad ideas or bad ideas, it will endanger the whole country.

The mainland has already learned a lot of lessons, such as the question of why genetically modified products are wreaking havoc in China, the question of how monopoly capital tycoons and crony capital can easily transfer assets overseas, and the question of why poisonous teaching materials have become a major public nuisance after repeated bans, and so on. These important issues are completely contrary to the spirit of the Party Central Committee, and it would be almost impossible to realize these things without the internal ghosts and the internal ghosts who have the right to speak in the field of superstructure.

Why is the United States so confident? Why did Blinken come to China to ask for China's request, but he still looks murderous and energetic? That Blinken is like a demon who has given us an ultimatum. Why are they so bold? Even though they have reached the end of their crossbows, they still pretend to be the strong men of the world hegemon? The reason why they are so arrogant is because they think that they have raised a group of traitors and lackeys on the mainland for a long time, and they will give them a good relationship with the inside and the outside. We have found that whenever there is a stir in the world, these people will certainly cooperate with their masters, the Americans, to make some waves at home, and take the honor of receiving a little bit of dog food from their American masters.

Another problem now arises: China's leaders clearly put forward the concept of "new quality productivity" in September last year, and six months later, in March this year, Americans and Europeans described China's new quality productivity as "overcapacity" and "industrial tsunami" respectively. In just 6 months, the new quality productivity has shown amazing penetration and market influence. The U.S. Treasury Secretary and the German Chancellor also made a special trip to China for this purpose. If nothing happens, continue to use the financial stick to put pressure on us to get rid of any aid from Russia. This will be an unprecedented test for China's banking industry.

Under these circumstances, certain people in China have not been idle, and they have taken advantage of various opportunities to make noise for the United States, put up slogans, spread rumors, and play a combination of fists with devils to intimidate the people of their own country. We must understand that the articles and speeches of these people are by no means asking us to raise our vigilance, but to ask us to lay down our arms and bow down to the United States. It is their joint actions in the economic, political, and ideological spheres that are the most important danger we face. At this point, people must remain somewhat sober.
