Chapter 409 Joining the WTO - The Food War Begins!
Su Su clapped and smiled, "Okay, after saying so much, China finally joined the WTO in 2001 after 15 years of waiting, and the United States also added a large-scale worker. The United States is going to go to the Middle East to do a big deal, completely control oil, and let the oil dollar go a barrel of earth for generations, especially the thirsty arms giants. The collapse of the Soviet Union's peaceful world is really disgusting. So 911 appeared in self-written and directed to provide a reason for the United States' large-scale dispatch of troops. In short, these are a long story. Now we have a circle around and only talk about the WTO."
Wang Qiang nodded repeatedly.
Su Su said: "What is WTO? Brother Qiang said before that it was a large shopping mall with constant orders. Before China joined, he had a street stall at the door."
Brother Qiang yes, nodded: "That's what the cartoon says."
Su Su smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but I also said that this is also a casino. There are rules to join the WTO. Simply put, it involves tariffs, subsidies, financial openness and market openness. Especially financial openness, China does not feel that it has such a big thing that has swept Southeast Asia in 1998. The biggest reason is that China has not entered the WTO table. It is played by itself, so of course it can't lose much."
"So once China joins the WTO, it must abide by the WTO commitment, which is the clause that the international financial group is most concerned about - open finance! China's first year of joining the WTO was as he wished, allowing foreign capital to occupy one-third of the shares of securities companies. Then it also reduced tariffs, reducing 10%. In short, China, which suffered losses and was deceived, complying with some clauses, but there are some clauses that China cannot comply with, and it will be done - such as canceling agricultural subsidies and government procurement! In fact, the United States is crazy subsidies for agriculture, using cheap agricultural products to squeeze out the agriculture of other countries, thereby controlling the jobs of other countries."
Wang Qiang browed: "It's what I just mentioned about food control!"
Su Su said in a deep voice: "Yes! We have been talking about the high-end financial war for a long time, so let's talk about food wars. This term is not a mess, easy to understand, but it is indeed the foundation of human civilization. China's dynasty changes over the past thousands of years are all caused by lack of food."
"So, let's talk about the current food situation in China in the eyes of Western financial groups - there is little per capita arable land, the arable land along the Yangtze River will suffer floods every year, and the arable land in the north will suffer drought every year. A large part of the arable land is mountainous and hilly, and the agricultural technology is backward! Agricultural development is more limited by petrochemical fertilizers. Then after joining the WTO, it will inevitably further occupy a large amount of arable land due to industrialization and real estate. Such a seemingly huge country is actually very weak!"
Wang Qiang was dissatisfied: "But we have Yuan Dadruid! Who dares to say that our agricultural technology is backward!"
Su Su was amused and crying: "This kind of character is a national weapon and a treasure of mankind. How can he make him famous? Brother Qiang should know that Chinese national treasure-level scientists are all low-key relatives who may not know what he is doing, let alone foreign agents."
Wang Qiang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this must be kept confidential."
Su Su sighed: "In such an impetuous era where the wind always accompanies my heart, such a group of unknown people who do not care about fame and fortune is really so noble."
Wang Qiang said ashamed: "As an anchor, I only know how to show off. What contributions does it have to society and the nation..."
Su Su sighed: "Then let's talk about the United States' food strategy. Let's first talk about the four international food giants ABCD, namely ADM, Bangji, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus. These four giants almost occupy the most fertile land in the world. So what does Brother Qiang think their profits rely on? Do you sell beans and rice?"
Wang Qiang browed: "Then it's better to go and play financial stock trading!"
Su Su sneered: "Create a grain shortage and accept state subsidies! I mentioned the routine of a grain shortage before? For example, 100 people eat, a bowl of rice costs 1 yuan. But now it can only be used for 99 people to eat. If one person has no food, how much will the money for this meal increase?"
Wang Qiang sighed: "It is not ruled out that the strategy of planning to allocate and killing the excess is not ruled out, the supper will theoretically rise to unlimited."
Susu nodded: "It's good, but the theory is limited by consumption capacity, so this ABCD's grain shortage routine can increase the price of grain by more than 5 times!"
Wang Qiang browed: "5 times! Is this a big deal than stock trading?"
Su Su said in a deep voice: "That's right! Perhaps Chinese teenagers in this era cannot understand why there is a weird problem of not being able to afford to eat? At most, parents have low salaries and cannot eat hot pot, night beer, and seafood, etc., but they don't even have to eat rice, right? But looking abroad, you know that there are hundreds of millions of people in the world who can't afford to eat... Those divine countries that never limit their population have never considered how to feed the next generation of African countries. They are as humble as ants in front of ABCD!"
Wang Qiang was shocked: "It seems that we are all losing weight!"
Su Su said in a deep voice: "Then you accept the state's subsidies. The United States uses the money earned from high technology to subsidize their agriculture, which greatly reduces their agricultural production costs, not to mention that their agricultural technology is well developed, so their food prices are so low that they are beyond imagination. How can China join the WTO market, compete with these high-quality and low-priced giants? At that time, I am afraid that all farmers would go to work and not farm, and then China will be over, and life and death will be in their hands!"
Wang Qiang browed: "Then is the Loongson government procurement mentioned earlier?"
Su Su smiled and said, "Yes, they played Guan Zhong 2,000 years ago, and China could see through it at a glance. Therefore, China collected grain from farmers at a much higher price than international grain, which is to ensure farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain and ensure that China's grain is absolutely self-sufficient!"
Wang Qiang became interested: "Guan Zhong? Let's talk about it?"
Su Su smiled and said, "Let me give an example of "buying deer to make Chu" - Duke Heng of Qi wanted to attack Chu, but was afraid that Chu's military strength was strong. Guan Zhong came up with an idea and bought live deer from Chu at a high price. As a result, many people in Chu went to catch deer and raised deer, and no one planted the food. Then Qi suddenly turned against him and no one exchanged food for deer. No one planted the food in Chu, and fourteen percent surrendered to Qi."
Wang Qiang was happy: "That's it?"
Su Su sighed: "That's it. The American routine is exactly the same as Guan Zhong. That is, first purchase a large amount of things, such as shirts, shoes and appliances, and then tell them not to farm. I have developed agriculture and sell cheaper grain for you. You just need to produce shoes and appliances for me~~~ You have some profits from the trade surplus!"
Wang Qiang said in shock: "Is that a hit?"
Su Su said in a deep voice: "Yes! When those Asian countries work and no one farms, the United States suddenly cut off food for them - will the food shortage come? Once the gap comes, don't you have to buy grain for 5 times the price? Can't they spit out all the surplus they made before? And in order to create a gap, the American granary Monsanto often plant half of the waste and half, telling them that there is really a gap, so you buy it quickly or you will starve to death..."
Wang Qiang sighed: "It's really... it's a blessing that our country has a strong foundation and will not be hit!"
