Since the outbreak of the Ebola virus, Japan's manufacturing production and a series of other economic activities have come to a standstill, and the goods piled up in the ports cannot be transported abroad, because the merchant ships of various countries dare not enter the waters of Japan at all, and Japanese merchant ships will not be allowed to berth in the ports of other countries, so Japan's trade has basically been suspended. Some people do want to take risks to run routes to Japan at such a time, but it seems that several major trading countries in the world have terminated flights and routes to and from Japan.

The shortage of Japanese products has naturally led to higher sales of alternative products in other countries. Manufacturing powerhouses, including China, the United States, and Europe, have basically benefited from Japan's trade collapse. For example, some of Japan's advantageous industries, such as the automobile industry and the electronics industry, have been greatly challenged by Chinese goods, and this time, when Japanese products cannot be supplied, some Japanese commodity markets that can still maintain certain advantages are also ruthlessly divided by Chinese goods.

Japan's Fujifilm, Nikon, and Canon have always been the world's leading optical manufacturers, and even after China ushered in the digital age, they firmly occupied the market position. Chinese brands such as Seagull and Phoenix have also taken this opportunity to allow consumers who have no choice but to buy them, and their cost performance, quality and intelligence make consumers who get these cameras determined never to buy Japanese cameras in the future.

In Europe and the United States, in addition to the limited supply of Japanese cars by locally built factories, the models imported from Japan are seriously sold out, and consumers who want to buy family cars with relatively low prices and few minor problems can only turn their attention to Chinese car bodies that are quite similar to Japanese cars. Originally, China's overseas sales of Roewe and Changan such high-end sedans were not greatly affected, because they are relatively popular brands, and the major benefits are for low-end Chinese car brands, such as Gillette, Chery, Haima, Xiali and other brands, sales have ushered in a wave of upward period.

Even many economic professionals optimistically estimate that if the Ebola virus continues to rage, the traditional market of Japanese cars will be divided by Chinese cars, and even if Japanese cars make a comeback, it may be difficult to shake China's dominant position in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and other places.

Due to the Ebola epidemic, Japan's economy has suffered heavy losses, and not only is GDP growth unlikely this year, but the chances of negative growth are very high. Qi Yiming set the script for the next uprising of the Truth Army, which is more likely to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese economy. China's illogical, if not deformed, growth rate could overtake Japan as the world's second-largest economy in 1994.

Qi Yiming has been working hard for many years, and he can finally see that China is catching up step by step from a poor and backward country, and once again recovering to the powerful economic power of China before he crossed over after the United States. At the same time, China's economic influence is becoming more and more evident around the world.

In Southeast Asia, China's economic capacity is mainly reflected in Nanyang, which is already considered a developed country, and many large Chinese enterprises have settled in Nanyang to invest, mainly engaged in tropical crops and some high-tech industries. In Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and other places, Chinese companies have also entered, focusing mainly on resources, but also on labor-intensive industries that use their cheaper labor than China to produce relatively less complex products.

In Africa, China has even more locations. In North Africa, where Chinese companies focus on oil and gas resources, including Egypt, Algeria and Libya, China is keen to act as middlemen to transport oil and gas resources, even if they do not have access to oil fields. Moreover, China itself is also a big energy consumer, and its consumption of oil and gas resources is huge. Black Africa, on the other hand, operates more diversely.

Sudan and Somalia in East Africa have basically been infiltrated by China, and Nigeria, Angola, and Namibia in West Africa have also made a lot of efforts. Moreover, China's development of Africa is not simply a plundering of resources, nor is it a condescending charity like the developed countries in Europe and the United States, and as for what the people here need, they have no mind at all.

To put it simply, China's assistance to these African countries is very systematic and instructive, and to put it simply, it means taking economic construction as the core, culture and education as the guide, enriching the people first, and then educating them, so as to improve the level of local social development. China doesn't expect to bring some food or books, that's the action of the so-called philanthropists in Europe and the United States, and only when the economic situation improves, the people here can feed themselves, and start to get educated, and break the traditional tribal social structure, will African countries really be able to move towards modern countries.

In fact, the most powerful social system that can completely change the backward situation of African countries is the CP set, basically the old things can be uprooted and re-kneaded through their own powerful organizations. However, China has no intention of spreading red ideas on a large scale, and the foundation of red ideas in these places is relatively weak, and even if they are implemented, the chances of success are slightly weaker.

After Chinese companies enter these well-penetrated African countries, their first task is to build various infrastructure for the local area, among which schools, roads, water and electricity infrastructure are the most common, and in the process, they often occupy some civilian land, and Chinese companies are smart enough to negotiate with the locals to use their land and build more modern buildings for them. The original low-rise and dilapidated bungalows, or even the yurt houses of the tribe, have been converted into some neat and tidy buildings with three or five floors, with running water and electricity, and the living standard has been greatly improved. As a result, many locals choose to work with Chinese companies to provide land and let Chinese companies build houses for them.

At the same time, a large number of locals have also found work in projects carried out by Chinese companies. For example, in Sudan, many locals started out as Chinese workers, and after following Chinese companies to carry out a few projects, they often accumulated some experience, and some smart people even found a way, and some local people set up civil engineering companies.

In fact, Chinese companies are happy to see this situation, no matter how powerful China is, it is impossible to cover up the whole of Africa, even if it is to specialize in these countries, it is considered to be inadequate, and it is a great success to be able to make local enterprises join in the process of building their countries.

Some people don't understand why China has gone to such great lengths to help these backward African countries, which of course has a relationship with adding a positive image to itself. In the vast majority of African countries, if you want to choose the most just and friendly country in the world, basically everyone will choose China. Americans, on the other hand, are not very popular. Chinese come to Africa to help them get rid of poverty and become rich and solve livelihood problems. And the Chinese are generally very good to get along with.

On the other hand, there are many cases where unscrupulous Chinese businessmen have caused dissatisfaction among the locals, selling low-quality guys and cheating the locals, causing conflicts. In this plane, the Chinese in Africa are highly organized, and every place where there is more than a certain number of Chinese, there will be a semi-official Chinese association, and the Chinese association has various requirements for local operators and will also supervise. At the same time, the domestic crackdown on some illegal business activities is also in place, so that there are far fewer people who do unconscionable business in this time and space.

Adding a positive image is one thing, but in terms of actual benefits, China has nothing to gain. The huge population base has given China a good foundation for exporting labor services, and the Chinese nation is famous for its spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work. Many Chinese workers were able to endure loneliness and exert their strength abroad, but the several railroads that ran through the mainland in the United States and Canada would never have been possible without Chinese laborers.

In addition to signing contracts with local governments to develop some precious resources, the development of Africa is also an important layout of Qi Yiming. The global hegemony with the United States has become more and more obvious, and the United States' power in the Americas and Europe has obviously surpassed China's by a lot, and China is working hard in Asia, and in Africa, an equally important region, China also hopes to seize the position and form a greater strategic balance of power with the United States.

Although the likelihood of a large-scale war in Africa is low, the east and west coasts of Africa are important strategic nodes. China has already decided to build naval bases in Mogadishu, Somalia, and the port of Amboyne in Angola, and Qi Yiming wants to establish a foothold on the island on the eastern edge of the African continent via Madagascar.

In the Indian Ocean, China has more and more overseas bases, and it can draw more and more power, so as to ensure China's interests in the Indian Ocean, which is an excellent counterbalance for the South Asian subcontinent and even the Australian continent, thus forming an advantage in the southern half of the Eastern Hemisphere.

The port of Ambone in Angola provides a node for China to attack in the Atlantic region, and once war breaks out, the United States will not be able to deal with the Chinese fleet in the Pacific direction with all its might, and it will also need to worry about the Chinese detachment here.

Qi Yiming's eyes are a full-scale war, compared with World War I and World War II, the possible conflict between China and the United States is very likely to affect every continent, and there will be fierce competition on every continent. China doesn't want to do this, but it has to be like this, there can only be one dominant player left in the world, and obviously the United States is the boss of China, and China will not be very comfortable, so there is only one way to live.

What Qi Yiming can do is to plan early, prepare in advance, and seize the opportunity when the real war comes.
