Chapter 283 New World, New Africa(1/2)
.
Shortly after the New Year of 2015, the Universal System is serving as the executive president of Universal and the executive director of the African base. Xiao Qiang received an invitation letter to invite him to attend the United Nations meeting.
This is a very strange thing.
Xiao Qiang still holds a passport of the People's Republic of China. However, he actually has control over Guinea-Bissau, and it is completely possible to compare it with a head of state.
But Xiao Qiang just didn't change his nationality, and wherever he went, he still said "I am Chinese", which made people laugh and cry.
It is difficult for Westerners to understand the inseparable national sentiment in the hearts of Chinese people.
For Westerners, no matter which nation they originally came from, as long as they join a new country, they will be the national of this country. The wars, migrations, and intermarriages in Europe for thousands of years are no longer pure nation-states, and the United States is simply a country composed of immigrants.
Like China, a great empire that has been standing firm and has a huge land area after thousands of years of ups and downs, all Chinese people are the source of their self-esteem and pride. Every Chinese cannot forget that he is a part of this country. Even if he goes to the horizon, he will still miss the land of his hometown, the water of his hometown, and the familiar accent.
Therefore, after Xiao Qiang obtained Africa as a base, he resolutely set up the headquarters of Universal Company in China. His business focus was entirely on China, actively improving the technological level of the mainland and promoting economic development, which made many people difficult to understand.
So, the invitation letter sent to him simply avoided this question and directly called him "Mr. Xiao Qiang" as the title.
As a member of a non-governmental organization, it was also the first time to be invited to participate in a national organization like the United Nations Conference, and it was a precedent.
Of course Xiao Qiang knew what this was for.
If it is just because he obtained the African base, this is not a reason. Or, it is not the main reason. There is only one reason, that is, his actual control of the moon!
He also guessed a few points about the issues of the United Nations Conference: UN reform.
Only when this involves major changes in the international political territory is he needed to express his opinion. The moon base is independent of the sphere of influence of the earth, but it has a great deterrent effect on the earth, so he naturally has a say.
Xiao Qiang didn't want to go, but in the end he thought about it for a long time and accepted the invitation.
The United Nations reform has been proposed for nearly ten years, and countries are making constant noises. He really doesn't want to go to this muddy water.
United Nations reform is actually an emerging force, proposing to re-dividing the same piece of cake to the old force, and wanting to have more interests to challenge.
Germany, Japan, India and Brazil are the highest advocates of the tune.
Africa, they used as gun envoys, demanded that the six permanent members of the expanded seats, two of which were African countries!
This is a total joke.
In more than 50 African countries, except for South Africa's better situation, which one can serve as a permanent member? With their marginalized status in international politics, even if they become, no one listens to their words!
But Africa did not see such obvious means. Not only did they discuss, they also demanded that the seats of non-permanent members be increased to twenty seats. For the five new seats, they also had to have two seats. At the same time, they also proposed that it was unfair that the four-nation alliance proposed a new permanent member of the United Nations to automatically give up its veto power within fifteen years.
They demand that once they become permanent members, they will immediately have the power of veto.
African countries have strange thinking. When they are excluded by the international community, they are indignant, but they have no choice. But when they have the opportunity, they make demands, which are ridiculously high, and they are completely asking for a huge price, and they cannot pay back the money locally!
Xiao Qiang didn't know what to say about their desire for quick success or instant benefits.
He could only attribute it to the super rational rebound in Africa after hundreds of years of oppression.
He did not go in the end, but sent a representative to attend.
How could he go to the United Nations? It is the base camp of the United States. It is easy to go, but no one can guarantee it when he comes back. According to secret information, the Americans have blacklisted him and offered a reward of 100 million US dollars to ask him to have his head. He will not fall into the trap and test whether the United States will show their attitude towards a great power in front of the world.
As soon as the representative arrived in New York, he had a secret meeting with domestic representatives.
Since then, he began to have public contact with the African Cooperation Organization and repeatedly told reporters in public that they would support Africa's demand for justice. He also said with emotion: "Africa was exploited by white colonialists for five hundred years! Africa was once the cradle of mankind, and its resources are abundant, known as the "world warehouse".
It is for this reason that the African people have been reduced to the raw material base for colonialists for five hundred years and have been treated in Africa.
Although Africa is independent on the surface, it is actually still exploited by the Western world. They purchased African minerals through abundant capital and used their technological advantages to monopolize all raw material production. Then, they used their monopoly position to lower the price of raw materials, and continued to absorb African nutrition in the form of multinational companies to strengthen themselves!
This unfair treatment should be corrected! Africa must be able to speak in a louder voice! It is not five hundred years ago, the African people who stood up,
Take your due status!”
His high-profile remarks won the praise of all African countries. He kept shuttled between African delegations, held cordial talks with them, and embraced them enthusiastically. Under the influence of this wave of heat, representatives of many African countries also delivered speeches, believing that the interests of African countries should be protected, unfair treatment should be abolished, the purchase price of mineral products should be increased, and the actions of continuing to exploit Africa should be stopped.
African countries and regions are connected, and one day is as high as another day.
Representatives of the United States and other countries urgently met with Xiao Qiang's representatives. After the two sides exchanged views, Xiao Qiang's representatives stopped their activities and sat peacefully in their seats and no longer expressed their support for African rights and interests.
Everyone can see that his actions were the United States and him in a secret exchange of interests.
Xiao Qiang must have received the benefits and stopped using Africa to put pressure on him.
His withdrawal did not extinguish the fire, but instead became more and more intense. The African countries that have been incited have been indignant, on the one hand, they are once again used as a tool. On the other hand, they have also aroused their anger in fighting the whole world.
It is undeniable that the fact that Representative Xiao Qiang mentioned for the first time that Africa is being exploited by multinational corporations has resonated strongly in their hearts.
Once the fire is ignited, it will not be so easy to extinguish.
As soon as the United Nations General Assembly opened, the African representatives jumped out and issued a joint statement in a tough manner. The proposal to declare that Africa should be adopted, otherwise it would be discrimination against Africa.
The smell of gunpowder in the debate was getting stronger and stronger.
The five permanent members. The Chinese representatives rarely speak, while the British and French representatives bear the brunt of the brunt and expressed their dissent.
Then more African countries stood up and questioned their status. Representatives of several African countries ignored the five-minute speech request in the venue. As soon as they stood on stage, they talked endlessly, from the sufferings of Africa to the difficulties of independence, and when they talked about modern society, they still did not receive fair treatment.
European and American representatives debated with them, and even reached the point where they slapped each other on the table, and the atmosphere reached a white-hot stage.
On the fifth day of the meeting, the US representative suddenly turned his gun and changed the topic.
"To this day, the land should indeed change! So far, the United Nations' membership fees have always been paid proportionally according to the GDP of member states. In this regard, the United States has made great sacrifices and paid 25% of the membership fees of the United Nations. Japan has also set an example, becoming the second largest membership fee bearer with 14.4%. However, some countries do not participate in international affairs, do not help maintain international order, but only care about their own development, and evade their responsibilities to society. Over the past few decades, they have grown into a world power, but the membership fees they bear are only 3.05%! This is an unfairness! Since we need a framework organization to maintain world peace and protect the interests of most countries. Some countries have also obtained generous benefits through their own seats, they should be treated equally and paid membership fees that meet their status!
There are also some African countries that exclude locals in a strange way and develop with the help of foreign forces. At present, the country's GDP has reached hundreds of billions of euros, but so far, they have not received even a single euro membership fee! If they cannot contribute to the United Nations, how can they claim more rights?"
His unexpected speech caused a stir.
The United States represents some major countries, obviously referring to China. The West is very dissatisfied with China's insistence that it is a developing country and only pays very few membership fees. In the early days, China's economic development was slow and there were a large number of poor people in the country. As a developing country, it is reasonable to pay one percent of membership fees.
However, after decades of development, China's products have actually monopolized the international commodity market from high-end to low-end. Moreover, China has tried its best to lower its currency value through various means and prevent it from free appreciation. The low currency value will reduce China's economic scale by one to two orders of magnitude. Therefore, in this proportion, China only needs to pay 3.05% of the membership fee, which makes Western countries, especially the United States, hate it.
In international affairs, China has always been in harmony with others and remains neutral.
Let the United Nations be kept silent, the United Nations is so angry that the United States is so angry that it is crazy.
Xiao Qiang's African base has become a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.
His network covers all over the world, and there are really many industries that are secretly owned by Xiao Qiang. Since countries around the world do not disclose their data, there is no specific number so far. However, the value created by surface industries such as LCD, arms, virtual networks, etc. has reached more than 300 billion euros per year, and it can already be ranked among the top ten in the world.
But until now, Guinea-Bissau has not paid a cent to the United Nations because it is a poor African country!
Damn it!
If the African base is also a poor country, then wouldn’t there be more than 98% of the countries in the world beggars who are penniless?
The United States has been suppressed by African countries these days and is full of anger. The US economy has long missed its golden period and is on a downward trend. The financial market is no longer prosperous. London, Tokyo, and China have divided up a large number of international investors. It is now the largest financial market on the surface, but its share has dropped to a pitiful 18%!
In this way, the United States still bears the United Nations, with 25% membership fees!
Isn’t this bullying?
The fury was burning, and it was also to divert the focus. The US representative was shocking and putting China and Africa in a state of chaos.
Taking it as a target, a fierce attack was launched.
Xiao Qiang's representative was not to be outdone and stood up and retorted: "Representative respectfully. You may have forgotten that the United Nations contributions are paid in accordance with the member states' gross domestic product'!
Guinea-Bissau is a developing country. Although its development momentum in the past decade has been very gratifying. With relatively active commerce and industry, in essence, we are still a poor country, with a "gross domestic product" of only 3 billion euros. It is not as good as a poor country with a higher annual output value of multinational companies. This year we are preparing to propose a new year loan plan to the World Bank to help the poor in the country. We can have clean water to drink..."
The US representative was so angry that he almost fainted.
It's so shameless. He has seen many shameless people. Even himself, in order to protect American interests, often turn black and white. However, he hasn't seen them and speak shamelessly like this!
yes!
The fundamental reason for the African base is to serve as a space base, as a bridgehead and frontier starting position for China in Africa.
Therefore, all domestic industries are developing around space development.
The prices of products produced and sold by themselves are completely opaque, and the annual output value is only 500 million euros. The others are small commodity factories, farms, commerce, etc.
Three billion euros, Xiao Qiang boasts.
He deliberately misinterpreted the speech of the US representative and firmly grasped the "gross domestic product". He even excluded Xiao Qiang from his own people - the land acquisition is a Chinese passport. Xiao Qiang's industries are all scattered all over the world, so it is not impossible to say that the GDP of Guinea-Bissau is only so small.
But is there anyone who settles the accounts like this?
The Chinese representative followed closely and expressed his view: "It is undeniable that China has achieved some results in the past 30 years of reform. However, we must see that China has a large population and through continuous efforts, we have controlled the population to 1.4 billion. Spread it evenly, everyone's income is still at a low level.
Moreover, due to population planning, there has been a serious labor gap. Now, China is increasingly moving towards an elderly society. The elderly over the age of 60 have accounted for 30% of the national population, and may eventually reach a peak of 40%! The elderly have no ability to work and can only rely on the state to bear the burden. As a result of rural reform, we have to bear a series of problems such as employment, medical care, housing, and children's education for 700 million rural population. In order not to add burden to the world, we uphold the tradition of thrift and thrifty family..."
Seeing the heavy expression of the Chinese representative and listening to his affectionate speech, the American representative seemed to burst into tears.
Who are these people?
Cooperate with you, you have made money from the whole world and become the object of sympathy. With this performance skills, winning the Eurasian Film Gold Award is also something everyone hopes to do.
Hell, can you do it? You still have to beg for alms at the United Nations, so let us pay for it to help you?
When the US representative was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, the Chinese representative's concluding remark made him cheer up and listen carefully.
"... However, despite all kinds of difficulties, China does not evade its international responsibilities. It also fully realizes that in modern society, it should communicate more and communicate more, and decide to contribute its own meager strength to this."
The US representative was excited and decided to speak immediately afterwards to let China expose some actual interests.
But the last sentence of the next sentence made him straight and his whole body feel weak.
"...We will conduct multi-party consultations with the participating countries to determine that future assistance can be implemented and to provide practical assistance to the economic development of poor countries. Thank you everyone!"
