It is an indisputable fact that the United States is messing up the world. We have also made many conclusions and predictions about this, which are relatively reliable so far.
Behind these conclusions and predictions is a set of lower-level logic, which is the minimum logic we have compiled for the United States to maintain hegemony, and predictions of the measures the United States may take based on these logics. Now, our country has opened a new chapter and truly embarked on a Chinese-style path. Because of this, many things are more worthy of our analysis. So in these two videos, we share the underlying logic with you to help you keep up with the pulse of the times, to provide us ordinary people in turbulent times with a more comprehensive perspective and thinking, to help you seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and live a good life.
has a lot of useful information, and the amount of information is a bit explosive. I am not bragging, but I sincerely recommend that you collect it and read it again and again. You'll thank yourself later. When we talk about American hegemony, we always mention military hegemony, cultural hegemony, dollar hegemony, etc. It is undeniable that they are all important components of the US hegemony system, especially the dollar hegemony. As the fundamental hegemony, it has now become one of the biggest troubles in the world. Therefore, if the United States wants to maintain its hegemony, it must start from these parts, while using the power that the hegemon has formed to do various things, and at the same time using these things to consolidate its hegemony. So we can see that after Europe was colonized, it planned to freeze itself to death this winter to punish Russia and itself. The United States radically increased interest rates , causing the world economy to be shattered by the return of the dollar. Public opinion around the world falsely claimed that the epidemic was a flu under the control of the United States, and successfully convinced people that all these efforts were made by the United States to maintain its hegemony.
The final result of these efforts is chaos. This is an objective fact. Under such objective facts, there are two underlying reasons. The first one, which we've had a video chat with before, is that the American system of rule itself is pyramid slavery. Therefore, in order to maintain the pyramid structure , the United States needs to make any sudden rise. The economy is going on, but unfortunately, there is an economy that he cannot defeat. Therefore, knowing that the world is still a whole, the United States wants to prevent itself from being surpassed by crushing the world. The second level is more complex. In one sentence, the United States has paid the price for becoming a hegemon. Now he wants to recoup those costs, so he will pass the costs on to the world, and he will pass on the new costs incurred in the hunting process to the world again. This is what the United States is doing now. The cost has doubled, and the world is in chaos. I know this sentence is difficult to understand. It doesn't matter. Let’s talk about people first.
I believe everyone knows the formation of American hegemony. Starting from the World War I and , we tasted the sweetness of aiding Germany. We obtained complete war dividends in the World War II initiated by Germany and colonized Europe after World War II. After that, the United States began to enter the path of hegemony. Afterwards, the Cold War helped the United States exercise an effective system of global domination and confrontation. So much so that after the disintegration of and the Soviet Union and , everything was smooth sailing for the United States. Zhang Li completed the construction of the global pyramid slavery, euphemistically called the global industry chain . Under the global industrial chain, the era of globalization has arrived. When we put aside our personal preferences and look at globalization objectively, we will find that globalization has brought two obvious conveniences to all economies, namely reducing overall costs and overall inventory. How to reduce the overall cost should be well understood. In the past few decades, frequent industrial transfers and global cooperation have moved less profitable industries away from the country. Just like the transfer of manufacturing in the United States to Asia, allowing the domestic economy to hire cheaper workers and purchase cheaper raw materials abroad, costs will naturally fall.
It will be very expensive for the Asian countries that are being transferred to establish such an industrial system. After accepting the transfer, although the costs, such as labor conflicts and environmental pollution, are still there, the construction costs have been reduced and the overall cost has been reduced. So this aspect reflects the benefits of economic cooperation under globalization.
Of course, such benefits will bring expectations from both parties.It is non-economic and this is reflected in globalization. The inventory of the supply chain is not only physical, but even monetary. It's not hard to understand why. In the era of globalization, multinational companies can purchase the products and parts they need at any time at reasonable or even optimal prices, and the global industrial chain also ensures that such purchase orders can be completed on time. Under globalization, developed logistics systems can ensure that these products are delivered to their warehouses within the expected time. In this case, the more things are placed in the warehouse, the higher their warehousing costs will be, and the inventory will not bring profits to the company. So why do companies spend extra money to stockpile inventory? They are disassembled here, produced there, assembled here and sold there. The entire world is their workshops, warehouses, and stores, so much so that the famous American financial reporter Thomas Friedman couldn't help but lament this world. It's flat. This kind of globalization does look beautiful, and objectively speaking, it does benefit all parties. But we ask, how does this globalization happen?
What is its premise? The answer is obvious. The premise for its establishment is actually the dominant position of American hegemony. It is precisely because the United States has formed a hegemony that it has constructed a globalization aimed at the globalization of capital in order to increase the value of its own capital, thus achieving the current pattern of capital globalization and global monetization. In this pattern, the objective interests mentioned above do appear, but the trouble is that they are dominated and established by US hegemony, and it has also become the basis of US hegemony. As a result, the non-economic costs mentioned earlier appear. Under U.S. hegemony, a large number of countries can trade sovereignty for economic development.
Then, the sovereignty these countries have paid makes them unable to be independent from the world, and naturally they cannot resist the United States, thus strengthening the sole hegemony of the United States and making it an out-and-out leader in the world. Those who can afford not to pay for their sovereignty. The United States has become the pillar of its own hegemony in various ways, so much so that it has to be included in globalization. We and Russia are typical examples. We will analyze it later. It can be said that the need for American hegemony has developed to the point of globalization, and now without globalization, American hegemony will cease to exist. In the globalization led by the United States, there are two sectors that are the basic stock price of American hegemony, namely China, the United States, Russia and Europe. These two sectors maintain U.S. hegemony and globalization from two levels.
The first level provides economic leverage for US hegemony and globalization from the economic level. Let’s take an example of leveraging that everyone can understand now. For example, Germany, as a developed country in the global industrial chain, is also one of the certified allies of the United States. The country's entire country's industrial added value is about 2 trillion US dollars, and it relies on about 20 billion US dollars of natural gas imports from Russia. In other words, Germany used only US$20 billion to leverage US$2 trillion in output value, and the leverage was 100 times higher than that of any investment bank. It is still the leverage used by hedge fund . This is why once Europe was cut off, it immediately became the current mess. Because the United States has transferred the economic leverage that Europe has been using, it would be strange if the European economy does not collapse. Where else has the same thing happened? Yes, China has always been a lever for the US economy and hegemony.
China’s entire industrial chain supports three things in the United States. First, economic stability, second, social stability, and third, currency stability. These stable levels will give the United States hegemony, which in turn will allow the United States to reap global dividends. Therefore, we should be clearly aware that, to a certain extent, we can certainly say that we have hitched a free ride on globalization, which has promoted the construction of our entire industry. This is true, but more importantly, we have caught a ride on the trend of globalization. We used ourselves as leverage to let developed countries led by the United States instigate globalization, and in exchange, globalization advanced rapidly. This is something we ourselves cannot deny. The second level is that these two plates are American rights. Globalization provides channels for transferring costs. Let us also give an example of this kind of cost transfer, and everyone will understand.What is the fundamental reason why America is so rich?
Everyone must know that the United States can print money to pay for itself, but what is its basis? It's Russia's cheap energy and our cheap goods that have brought low inflation to the U.S. and global system. The process of its realization is as follows: First, the United States, as a hegemonic country, portrays itself as a paradise where the American dream can be realized. A large number of cheap laborers crowded into the United States and immigrated to the United States, resulting in almost no increase in the wages of the American labor force. While wages remain unchanged, the United States prints money like crazy. Under normal circumstances, there must be inflation, and then Americans will not be able to survive. But in the era of globalization, China has produced a large number of cheap goods for the United States, supporting the actual purchasing power of the US dollar.
Workers with low wages can also buy a lot of things, live in big houses, and drive large-displacement cars, while the United States is crazy about buying extra money, buying resources and assets around the world. The "empty wolf" trick and Russia's cheap energy also gave Europe economic leverage, thereby maintaining its own competitiveness and living standards. But Europe was essentially colonized by the United States and was bound by the United States. As long as Europe's development remains at the level of developed countries but cannot surpass the United States, the United States can obtain the greatest benefits from Europe. In the end, China takes the U.S. dollars, Russia takes the euros, and then invests the money in the international financial market, forming a closed-loop profit.
This situation is a perfect match in the era of globalization. Europe prints euros, buys Russian energy at low prices, and leverages its own economy. The United States prints dollars, China uses cheap goods to support the value of the dollar, and the United States buys and buys around the world, while China and Russia dutifully hand over the earned money and the trade surplus earned by these people to G7 to purchase various financial assets of the G7. This is the huge contribution of China, the United States, Russia and Europe to the hegemony of the US dollar in terms of economic leverage and cost transfer. Of course, in turn, it is the ultimate exploitation of these two sectors by US dollar hegemony. If the world is a static world, there is nothing wrong with this system. But the world moves on. Russia cannot always be Europe's blood cow, and we cannot always be America's coolie. People's motivation to pursue a better life is endless. Therefore, if you want to live a good life, you must have a direct conflict with American hegemony.
By far we are America's worst enemy as long as we want to live a better life. When the United States discovered that we Chinese had dared to dream of a better future and began to develop in this direction, Americans had to face an objective fact, that is, the benefits brought by globalization we just talked about have actually become huge troubles that the United States has to face under the changing situation. Globalized production allows the United States to arrange low-cost production locations, storage locations, and assembly locations around the world, and finally return them for consumption. But it also means.
These globalized industrial ties were broken, and the United States immediately lost its industrial production capacity. As a result, we never imagined that the United States wanted to suppress our challengers and chose a path beyond its control. Therefore, the global outbreak of the epidemic has directly interrupted the global industrial chain. The reduction of global inventories will inevitably lead to the break of the industrial chain. Countries have returned to regional cooperation and localized production. The United States has caused shortages of various industrial production due to insufficient inventory on hand. Now the United States cannot even produce the best weapons and equipment. Currently, all production capabilities in the United States are operating at full capacity and can produce 155 million various artillery shells a year. That seems like a lot, doesn't it?
In fact, these artillery shells can only last two Fridays on the Ukrainian battlefield. Washington will temporarily order 1,300 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles from Raytheon to replenish the inventory of missiles the United States is sending to Ukraine. Raytheon's CEO responded that it will take some time, and that's true for all weapons, not to mention other American industrial products. Actually all this. God paid the price. But if we want globalization, it is inevitable that our own industries will move to more convenient locations.However, with the development of globalization, in order to pursue maximum interests, our own inventory will inevitably be reduced to a minimum. Don’t Americans know these costs? In fact, Americans know this well, but why do they not care about the cost and still promote globalization through hegemony? The answer is simple. The US knows how to pass on costs and they don't care because they know how to pass on the costs of those costs. Something similar happened once.
Before 2007, as the financial industry most sensitive to liquidity, Bank of America had been playing the trick of timing liquidity. At that time, the Bank of America believed that preparing large amounts of cash reserves in the central bank was an inefficient way to create maximum value for the gentry, so it went to the extreme of destocking. All banks and financial institutions have only prepared reserve funds to meet short-term liquidity, just like global companies before the outbreak. The gameplay is the same as your own inventory. So when the 2007-08 crisis broke out, we saw banks doing this, direct market failure, liquidity shortages, and the collapse of a large number of financial institutions. Even giants like , Lehman Brothers, and say that nothing is impossible. Their fragility is simply outrageous.
In fact, this is also the price that the United States needs to pay in finance. But how did the United States deal with it later? From 2007 to 2008, ordinary people in the United States were everywhere. From 2008 to 2009, the global financial crisis allowed the United States to transfer costs to itself, its people, and the world. Now that the United States is acutely aware of the global outbreak of the epidemic, it is time to pay the price of the past. As a result, he once again vented the price that he should have borne on ordinary people and the whole world, making the world what it is today, with chaos and disaster everywhere. People all over the world are having a hard time. Worse, the United States will transfer costs to the world, and the process will also generate costs.
Now the United States is further confusing the world, essentially. He passed on new costs to the world. In other words, the costs incurred by the United States in the past will be passed on to the current world, and the costs incurred when passing on the costs will also be passed on to the current world. If the two costs are passed on together, it will lead to global chaos, with both his allies and his enemies bearing all costs. I have to say that the United States really has no responsibility at all, and its shamelessness has reached a level that is appalling, unprecedented and unprecedented. Perhaps no country in human history can rival the United States in terms of shamelessness. What are the specific measures taken by the United States? What is the logic behind these measures? How should we respond?
