As the largest holder of US Treasury bonds in the world, there is no doubt that the Republic does not want to see the US Government go bankrupt or go bankrupt, because that means that the US Treasury bonds worth trillions of dollars held by the Republic suddenly turn into a pile of waste paper......

Consider the example of Japan, which is the second largest creditor of the United States and a staunch ally of the United States, but whenever something goes wrong with the American economy, Japan acts as a cow and a blood bank for the United States, and this status of "cow" and "blood bank" is by no means what the Republic wants.

Although it has not been announced to the public, in fact, the top level of the republic has a clear position for the future international status of the republic, and the republic will become a country with major international influence in the future

Note that one major, one important, and one important is having a major influence, and the weight is completely different. That being the case, then......

"Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs express China's attitude at a regular press conference." Brother Hu gave the final definition of how to deal with this matter.

Everyone has no opinion on Brother Hu's decision, and everyone understands that the bankruptcy of the US Home Mortgage Investment Company is actually just the beginning, and the really serious ones are still to come, and it is really not appropriate to rush now. Nor did anyone ask: "What if no reporter asks about this at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tomorrow?" "This kind of nonsense, dignified republic, if you can't even do this little thing, then everyone just go home and pick up the children.

And it seems that what the republic does best is propaganda.

Even if it's settled.

………………………………………………………………

Originally, there was no such thing as a "regular press conference" in the republic, and there has never been such a thing.

What kind of regular press conference, what does the country want to do, do you grassroots people need to know? As a common people, you should have the consciousness of the common people, and the most important thing is to work hard every day to dig food and feed yourself, and as for those major national affairs, leave it to us, the servants of the people, to deal with it.

In the forty or fifty years since the founding of the Republic, it has always been like this, and no one feels that it is wrong, but now it is different, and it is necessary to be in line with international standards, and some things always need to be known to others, otherwise they will always be pointed at there, and it is not good.

Sure enough, at the regular press conference the next day, after asking a few questions, a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency asked Zhang Qi, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Ms. Zhang, the day before yesterday, the 10th largest mortgage lender in the United States, the U.S. Home Mortgage Investment Company, suddenly declared bankruptcy without warning. ”

"Yes, we already know about the sudden bankruptcy of the U.S. Home Mortgage Investment Corporation, but it seems to me that you should ask this question at the regular press conference of the State Department than we at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Zhang Qi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has always been known for his humor and quick response, smiled and nodded.

The Chinese and foreign reporters below burst into laughter.

Indeed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conferences are mainly to brief Chinese and foreign journalists on the Republic's diplomatic affairs and the Republic's attitude toward certain matters.

"However, the matter also involves the diplomatic side of the Republic, and since this gentleman has asked, I will be happy to explain it on the matter."

Just when everyone thought that this Xinhua News Agency reporter was going to hit a nail in the coffin from this spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was known for his temperament and reaction, and many foreign reporters were still secretly gloating in their hearts, Zhang Qi's topic suddenly changed and he turned his head and killed him. …,

Well? Hearing Zhang Qi say this, the ears of a group of Chinese and foreign reporters suddenly pricked up

These veterans of foreign countries who have been in China for a long time have long had an understanding of the country's strict methods and hierarchies, and they know that the government of this country has a clear view of everything they do, and there will definitely be no situation in which department A says things in department B, especially the various departments of the central government, especially the heavyweight departments in the central ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Foreign AffairsThis is the actual control of the country in this way to implicitly express their voices and opinions.

So, what is the attitude of this rapidly rising country to the sudden bankruptcy of the 10th largest mortgage lender in the United States: the American Home Mortgage Investment Corporation?

"We regret the bankruptcy of the U.S. Home Mortgage Investment Corporation. As we all know, the U.S. Home Mortgage Investment Corporation is the tenth largest mortgage lender in the United States and an important company in the U.S. subprime mortgage market. ”

"At the same time, according to our analysis of the U.S. financial market, our country's financial experts believe that there are serious problems in the U.S. subprime mortgage market, and if the U.S. government does not take favorable and reliable measures to solve these problems in a timely manner, this problem in the U.S. subprime mortgage market may develop into an economic crisis that affects the whole United States and even the world." Zhang Qi said slowly.

As the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she understands the meaning of this action very well, and now, all she needs to do is to read the book according to the script, and the rest will naturally be handled with professional understanding.

As soon as Zhang Qi finished speaking, the reporters below couldn't wait to raise their hands one by one, scrambling to ask their own questions: How did the Chinese government express its opinion on the bankruptcy of the U.S. Home Mortgage Investment Company in this way? And they also think there is a serious problem with the low-end mortgage market in the United States? It's okay now, but I wrote it when I went back

For these journalists, they are not afraid that these news speakers will be able to speak.

"Miss Zhang, does your statement represent the attitude of the Chinese government?" This is a question asked by a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, which has always been at odds with China.

"Miss Zhang, can you tell us what kind of problems do financial experts think exists in the subprime mortgage market in the United States?" This is a question asked by a reporter from the famous Financial Times.

"Miss Zhang, may I ask, what scientific basis is there for the statement that the problems in the subprime mortgage market in the United States that you just mentioned may develop into a statement that spreads throughout the United States and even the world if it cannot be curbed and stopped in time?" The reporter's question was obviously ill-intentioned, but it was completely understandable, because this girl was a reporter from a well-known anti-China media: the Los Angeles Times.

A group of foreign reporters were menacing, and only those reporters from the Xinhua News Agency sat calmly on Diaoyutai.

As the official news agency of the Republic, these Xinhua News Agency reporters know very well that since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made an official statement on this matter, it means that they will be the first to get accurate information from the official. …… As the official news agency of the republic, how can these people do it without a little privilege?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, that's all for today's regular press conference," Zhang Qi looked calm in the face of these menacing reporters, "If you journalists and friends still have any questions, you can pay attention to tomorrow's "Reference News", and our government will introduce this matter in detail in tomorrow's "Reference News". ”

Sure enough, many times in this case, valuable news was snatched away by those colleagues of Xinhua News Agency, and the reporters below lamented for a while, and felt a little indignant in their hearts. But these reporters apparently forgot that when Xinhua News Agency reporters attend press conferences or press conferences in their countries, these valuable news are also released more than their own reporters...... The spirit of Fei Epharai has never really existed. …,

………………………………………………………………

At a regular press conference held by the US State Department, when asked what the US Government views on yesterday's comments and remarks made by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the US economy, especially the US subprime mortgage market, and whether there are really serious problems in the US subprime mortgage market, US State Department spokesperson Angel Anderson. Julie categorically denied these questions.

Angel. Julie cited the figures mentioned in the "Total Report on the State of the U.S. Economy" released by the U.S. government at the end of last year, which proves that the U.S. economy is now running well, and although the U.S. economy has been unable to grow in recent years, it is more because of the drag of the war, and as long as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over, the U.S. economy will be able to return to the track of high-speed operation immediately.

At the same time, Angel. Julie also warned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic that "the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only needs to do a good job of diplomatic work, and economic work and financial work are not the scope of the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of any country, this is not the scope of the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States, and I believe that this is also not the scope of the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China." ”

Although everyone knows that this statement of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs must represent the attitude of the Chinese government. Julie still pretended not to know, and forcefully pushed China back, and the subtext is obvious: What qualifications do you, a country that is not even a market economy, have to comment on the economic situation of the most developed countries with market economies on the planet?

And at a deeper level, it is a contempt for the financial and economic talents of the republic: look, is there no one in your country who actually allows people engaged in diplomatic work to comment on economic and financial work?

The US Government's response is not unswift and harsh, but everyone feels that the US Government's statement always makes people feel that they are feeling a sense of inwardness, as if they have been poked in the sore spot by someone and become angry.

Basically, journalists aren't experts in finance and economics, but people who can be among the best in their industry are sure to surpass the average person in terms of IQ and understanding. So even though the reporters are not financial experts or economic experts, this does not prevent them from analyzing the problems, seeing China's affirmative answer, and looking at the US government's annoyance and anger as if it had been poked in pain, many reporters couldn't help but start muttering in their hearts: Could it be that there is really a big problem in the subprime mortgage market in the United States? can

But in any case, no one is willing to believe the words of Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhang Qi, believing that the problems in the US subprime mortgage market will trigger a serious economic crisis that will sweep the whole United States and even the world, but Chinese, many people are hesitant to believe: Or what problems really exist in the US subprime mortgage market?

Of course, this problem will not have much impact on these journalists, who can become the best of these journalists, many of whom are worth more than millions, and for these journalists, a house is not too big an expense for them to afford.

Many reporters have already made up their minds, and after they go back, they will find a few financial experts and economic experts to interview them, and ask them what they think of the subprime mortgage market in the United States...... The U.S. State Department should not blame itself for not giving them face.

For journalists, this is the safest thing to do.

The reaction of the reporters was not sensitive enough, but the most sensitive stock market reacted to the republic's statement, and on the afternoon after the regular press conference of the US State Department, the US stock market fell sharply again without warning, and by the time the stock market closed for the rest of the day, the three major US stock markets as a whole had fallen by more than 0.13 .......
