Chapter 715 New Trade Agreements
In November, the UK and China negotiated trade issues, and the two sides re-signed a trade agreement. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info In December, the United Kingdom and the Asian Trade Organization signed a trade agreement, which was the first breakthrough of the Asian Trade Organization in Europe.
The UK is very optimistic about the two trade deals, and the Daily Mirror commented that this means that the UK and the EU have gained a huge Asian market in one step. Objectively speaking, this assessment is not wrong, and the agreement is a huge stimulus to the British manufacturing industry, which has gone a long way downhill.
However, on the European continent and in the United States, this decision of the British government has been strongly criticized. The New York Times described the two negotiations as "victories for the Chinese."
The Wall Street Journal put it even more explicitly: For more than 200 years, the West has ostensibly preached economic equality, but in fact it has been squeezing the East in various ways. Omega overtly or covertly manipulates the economies of Asian countries, raising them as pigs. Today, however, the British have opened the fence and recognized the equal status of the pigs, and although the danger is not visible at the moment, in the long run, the move will be a disaster for a long time!
No wonder the United States and the EU are so excited, it is really because the UK has made a very bad start to compromise this time.
The West's control of the world economy comes from several forces, one is the expansion of capital and finance, the second is the monopoly of technology, and the third is the setting of rules. These three forces are complemented by the political, economic, and military power of the West, and no developing country in the world has been able to break the cage of the West.
In the new trade agreement, Huaxia restricted all three powers, and although it did not negate them entirely, it weakened their influence, so that the trade between the two sides was truly fair.
At Lu Yang's suggestion, the new trade agreement has the most financial and capital restrictions, which undoubtedly cut off one of the legs of the West's exploitation of developing countries. Therefore, this agreement is also known as a financial restriction agreement.
No matter how unwilling the United States is, after opening the gap in the United Kingdom, Huaxia began to grasp the initiative. With the example of the United Kingdom, Kangaroo Country, New Zealand, Maple Leaf Country and other countries no longer insisted, and have re-signed agreements with the Asian Trade Organization.
Before the arrival of 2022, only the developed countries in the world, such as the United States, Fuso, the Stick Country and the European Union, are still holding on.
As for the developing countries, they have absolutely no reason to refuse. Strictly speaking, the set of rules proposed by the Asian Trade Organization does not favor developing countries, but compared with the previous trade rules, this set of rules is too beneficial to developing countries.
"The World Trade Organization is history!" After signing the agreement in the UK, Lu Yang said proudly to Su Yan. He is not bragging, in just half a year, Lu Yang replaced the rules of the West with a new set of trade rules, this ability, no one in the world except him, has this ability.
Spurred by the new trade rules, global trade has seen its strongest growth in two decades, benefiting all but a few countries, including the United Kingdom, and even the UK's economy has come out of the slump.
In contrast, the European Union, which has been in a trough for more than three months in trade with Asia, has had a great impact on the economies of all EU countries, and the economic growth rate in Germany, which has been performing very well, has hit the lowest rate in 15 years, not to mention other countries that are already not optimistic.
……
"These economists don't have any discipline at all." Lu Yang watched TV for a while and couldn't help but say. On television, a British economist was touting the benefits of a new trade deal.
Before the new trade agreement, Western economists trumpeted that it would ruin the world economy and lead to a great recession in global trade, but what about the reality? After the signing of the new trade agreement, economic globalization has not only not retreated, but has taken a big step forward, and the global economy has also recovered.
Seeing this result, those economists immediately changed their position and joined the ranks of touting, which Lu Yang despised very much.
Lingling sat on the sofa next to him and played with his puppet, while Zhu Xiaotong was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"Nearly 10,000 people marched in Paris, France, demanding that the government join the new trade agreement as soon as possible." This news made Lu Yang a little interested.
"It turned out to be France...... Oh, and with the French economy experiencing negative growth this year, with unemployment reaching 12%, it's no wonder they're in a hurry. Lu Yang casually checked on the Internet, and the economic situation in France is really not optimistic.
"Maybe France can open the gap in the EU." Lu Yang thought.
"Pony, arrange for me to go to France after New Year's Day." Lu Yang called his assistant Ma Tianming and said.
Ma Tianming said: "Is it an official visit or a private trip?" Do you want to inform the French government? ”
"It's an official visit, I'm going with my lover."
"Okay, boss, it's scheduled for January 12th, is that okay?"
Lu Yang checked his time and said that there was no problem.
Lu Yang put away the North Star and found that Ling Ling was looking at him.
"Dad, are you and Mom going to France?" Lingling put down the puppet and ran over.
Lu Yang took his daughter in his arms and kissed her with a smile.
Lingling is almost five years old, she does not have the amazing IQ of her brother, and she is a normal genius in all aspects, which makes her more spoiled. She inherited Zhu Xiaotong's appearance, especially those big smart eyes, which can be said to be loved by everyone.
"yes, do you want to go?" Lu Yang asked.
Lingling's answer was beyond Lu Yang's expectations, and she shook her head again and again: "I don't want to go to France." ”
"Then you stay on Penglai Island with your grandparents and grandparents." Lu Yang said that he knew that his daughter was actually very talented, although she was young, she had her own opinions, but the light of the stars was too strong and covered her up.
"Okay, but don't play too long." Ling Ling sighed, her cute appearance made Lu Yang laugh again.
"Baby is so good, come, dad kiss one more."
"It's time for breakfast." Zhu Xiaotong shouted.
"I just heard you say France or something, are you going out again?" Zhu Xiaotong asked at the dining table.
Lu Yang said: "This is an official visit, and the two of us will go together, and the time will be two weeks later. ”
"Why visit France? Didn't you say some time ago that Europe was going to war? ”
Lu Yang said: "How can there be so many battles, they are all nonsense from the media. ”
"It's not all you, the plane's cannon all day...... If you want me to say why do you want to fight, isn't it good to have peace? ”
