Only the performance of the Chinese economy has improved.국제 2021. 3. 20. 14:09
Last year, the Chinese economy's report card overwhelmed the United States and other major Western countries, which showed negative growth in the aftermath of Corona 19. In terms of macroeconomics, China's unrivaled achievements gave wings to President Xi Jinping, who insisted that the communist-led authoritarian economic development route was'superior' to the Western-style free regime. The world is keeping an eye on the new popular strategy of the United States as President Trump, who had been all-in on the press of China, withdrew and the Democratic President Joe Biden's administration was launched. China is poised to enter a head-to-head confrontation with Western-style liberal capitalism led by the United States, slowly revealing the hidden “claws” of a giant dragon. For President Biden, a tough fight awaits against China, who has only gotten better at Trump's brute force attack.
In fact, Xi achieved the same status as Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping at the 19th Chinese Communist Party National Congress in 2017. At the time, the Western society did not stop confusion due to the 2008 financial crisis from the United States and Europe's economic downturn, the conflict over Brexit (British withdrawal from the European Union) and the gains of right-wing populist politicians. This weak Western appearance is also the product of a wave of neoliberalism that values free markets and deregulation, excluding market intervention by state power. China's leadership will shake off its regrets or fantasies about the Western model and solidify its belief in the state-led model of economic development. President Xi, who solidified his power base through the party conference, strengthened market intervention, censorship, and control despite criticism from Western countries. At the same time, it has fostered world-class IT companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei along with aggressive investments in science and technology that are behind the West. This so-called Chinese-style red capitalism seemed to have reached a fork in the Trump administration's declaration of war on trade with China.
However, the Trump administration's trade war with the masses has resulted in a US decision. When Trump announced a bomb tariff (15-25%) on Chinese-made goods worth $360 billion in 2018, he tweeted that the U.S. would easily win over China. China, which has been on the defensive as a result of massive US sanctions against Huawei, a 5G market leader, for national security reasons, signed a first-stage trade agreement with the United States in January last year, just before the coronavirus swept the world. China purchases US$172 billion worth of US-made products, while the US lowers tariff rates and withdraws additional tariffs scheduled for some Chinese products. Despite the tariff bomb, the trade deficit with China has increased rather than shrinking contrary to expectations of the United States, and the dissatisfaction of US companies ahead of the presidential election. It is also because it has grown.
