Section 575 The embarrassing Miqing government
It is impossible for Zhang Nian to be a lobbyist for the government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Because Mi Qing is quite obedient to Yang Chao, with Yang Chao pressing, the industrial giants in Shandong and other places can't turn the sky upside down, and without Yang Chao's support, Mi Qing can't sit still at all in this crisis.
Then Zhang Nian can only be a lobbyist for industrial giants, Wang Qiu, Siemens, and industrial giants such as Northeast Iron and Steel Company.
These industrial giants, on the surface, are centered on Li Fu'an and form a powerful political faction in the Fuqiang Party, but in fact, the core is actually Wang Qiu, and Yang Chao knows this very well, better than Li Fuan.
Wang Qiu has grown up completely in recent years, without the previous radicalism, a little more calm, doing things and then moving, step by step is extremely down-to-earth, coupled with his natural super social ambition, so that his political enthusiasm is very high, can suppress this enthusiasm, but also shows his maturity.
This kind of talent is a powerful person, like Pan Xun, he is stronger than Mi Qing and Li Fuan, and he is the real elite cultivated by the Fuqiang Party over the years.
Wang Qiu always pushed Li Fuan in the foreground, he worked silently behind the back, and he was already full-fledged, this time he actually persuaded Zhang Nian to lobby them, not so much lobbying, but a temptation, testing Yang Chao's attitude.
Because their lobbying is simple and can be seen through at a glance.
Zhang Nian smiled embarrassedly: "Where do I have a piece of information, since last year, the import of chemical products in Europe has surged, and China's exports of chemical fiber products have dropped sharply. The same situation occurs in mechanical products, electrical equipment, and so on. ”
Yang Chao nodded, of course he knew the data, although there was no clear number, but the general situation was understood.
After the economic crisis, Western industrial powers such as Germany and Britain began to dump in the Chinese market, as in the past, and British salt chemical products, German machinery and equipment, and French power equipment all started dumping to China. Chinese enterprises are in a-for-tat confrontation, the soda ash produced by the joint alkali production method of the Jiuli Refined Salt Company in Tianjin and the soda ash produced by the British Bu Simon Company are in a price war, the Siemens company is in a price war with the French Alstom, and the precision machinery and equipment produced by the ordnance enterprises under the name of Yang Chao have encountered a trade war with the Germans.
One of the reasons why China has been affected by the economic crisis is the economic war of the Europeans.
"The kind of dumping investigation that the Americans have is very good. Can any product whose price is much lower than the price of China's products be subject to an anti-dumping investigation, and the import of the product will be temporarily suspended during the investigation period. If the dumping is true, not only will punitive tariffs be imposed, but also huge fines will be issued. What we need is a catfish to energize China's economy, not a greedy whale that wants to eat all the fish in our ponds. ”
Yang Chao thought for a while and said.
Zhang Nian smiled and didn't speak.
Obviously, his goal has been achieved, I am afraid that what the king wants for them is such a support, they are not willing to clash head-on with Yang Chao's liberal economic policy, and put forward a sky-high demand, just to give Yang Chao a buffer room, obviously Yang Chao was calculated by them.
But it's nothing, politics, it's just mutual calculations, mutual games, this kind of fighting spirit is better than fighting power, and mutual calculations within this kind of rules are better than picking up knives and stabbing each other.
Even the question of whether it is impossible for Britain, France, Germany and other big countries to join China's free trade system, which Zhang Nian asked just now, is probably paving the way for this matter, because those who have the ability to vigorously dump on China must be such a big economic country, and the governments of small economic countries do not have the spare energy to give high subsidies to their enterprises and let them fight a price war.
Yang Chao is now the Minister of Emergency Response to the Economic Crisis, and he has full authority in the economic field, and now he has the final say in these things, as long as Yang Chao is convinced, the matter will be decided.
It's just that in this way, the economic war with Britain, France, Germany and other big countries may escalate, which will greatly affect the total volume of world trade, but China is not strong enough to allow such a big country to join the Chinese system, so it is also in line with the current actual situation to exclude them first.
Only then will the Chinese government be more embarrassed.
Because it is bound to face political protests from European powers, the diplomatic environment of the Chinese government has deteriorated so much due to its embarrassing position in the Russian civil war that the whole world feels that the Chinese government has temporarily lost control of the East.
Originally, China supported the Russian Empire, but because of the Russian Empire's anti-Chinese neutrality, the Chinese government became hostile to the Russian Empire, and then Soviet Russia took the opportunity to launch a military operation.
For example, the United States has recently taken frequent actions on the Hawaii issue, and has reached a US-Summer Free Trade Agreement with Australia, giving Hawaii free trade rights under Australian rule, while Australia allows American merchant ships to sail directly to Hawaii freely, and allows American merchants to operate Hawaii's ports.
Britain strengthened its rule in Nanyang and raised the tax revenue of local Chinese factories, nominally due to the serious accumulation of social contradictions in Southeast Asia in recent years, and the management costs of the British colonial authorities increased greatly, but in fact the textile industry and shipping industry developed in Nanyang in recent years had a serious impact on the main industries of the British Empire, affecting the export of British goods to this region, and also breaking the status quo of British merchant shipping monopoly on the Nanyang transportation industry.
The deterioration of the international diplomatic environment is indeed a bit embarrassing for the Miqing government, because China's hegemony in East Asia was established by her predecessor, Pan Xun, and there is a risk that it will be slowly lost in her hands.
But compared with the embarrassment of international diplomacy, domestic public opinion is more embarrassing for the Miqing government.
Compared with the political conspiracy theories exaggerated in European and American newspapers, most Chinese newspapers chose to support Yang Chao, seeing the experience of Tsar Olga in Russia as a crisis for Yang Chao's family, and sympathizing with Yang Chao as the biggest victim.
Therefore, the Chinese newspapers were generally very hostile to the Kolchak clique that staged the coup d'état, especially since this wave of people were also supporters of the anti-Chinese movement, so from the beginning to the end, not only did the public not support China to help the Russian Empire maintain its rule in Siberia again, but there were more and more demands for the government to send troops to Siberia to punish the Russian Empire's anti-Chinese behavior and protect the Tyumen oil fields related to China's oil security.
Of course, the more subtle hegemonic ideas of annexing Siberia and expanding the territory will not be published publicly by disciplined newspapers.
Such a unanimous public opinion does make the Miqing government's policy towards Russia very contradictory, with the consistent policy, they should protect the Russian Empire, because if Soviet Russia annexes the Russian Empire, then this belligerent red empire borders China.
But the current situation does not allow China to send troops to help the Russian Empire, but it cannot stand with the Russian Empire to launch an attack on the Russian Empire, which is tantamount to destroying the Russian Empire and provoking the Russian Empire.
Therefore, the Miqing government can only remain silent, and behind the silence is extremely embarrassing. (To be continued.) )
