Mu Guoxing looked at the arrogant assistant secretary of state coldly, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Charlton, this is the internal affairs of our country, and I don't need to explain to you!"
Charlton was stunned. He knew that what he said just now was a bit too much. No matter how powerful the American politics was, he could not interfere in other countries' internal affairs. But he still had to say these words today because the president had already served before he came. At the right opportunity, he would raise the issue of discrimination against the five major American grain merchants and Tieshandu companies in China, and strive to give up the suppression of Chinese politics.
At first, Charlton didn't understand why the president asked him to raise this question during talks with Chinese officials, but when he learned about the relationship between the five major grain merchants and Tieshandu Company and the president, he fully understood that if the president wants to obtain re-election, he must get the support of some large consortiums. The five major grain merchants and Tieshandu Company are the president's most powerful supporters. This time the president must have received a lot of their campaign donations again.
Charlton still has a good impression of the president. No matter what, the president also has the kindness of supporting him. It is the president who has a keen eye to recognize him and has resisted the opposition, making Charlton the youngest assistant secretary of state in American history.
You should know that although Charlton's annual income on Wall Street is higher than that of serving as assistant secretary of state, after this experience and no longer serving in public office, other large consortiums are not allowed to offer higher prices to join him. It is easy for Charlton to run for the Senate and enter politics.
It was precisely with this mentality that Charlton decided to raise this issue when he talked with Mu Guoxing behind his back, but he forgot the most important point, that is, while the president talked about this matter with Charlton, he also warned him not to have a stalemate with China's Deputy Prime Minister Mu Guoxing. According to the information from the CIA, he was an iron-fisted figure.
Charlton hit a nail and remembered what the president said to him. Fortunately, Americans are thick-skinned. As soon as Mu Guoxing finished speaking, Charlton said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, I have no intention of interfering in your country's internal affairs, but while your country is carrying out the 333 Project, it has harmed the interests of our Chinese enterprises. As an American political fu, of course, we have to ask about the inside story."
Mu Guoxing saw a hint of panic flashing in Charlton's eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Charlton, the five major grain merchants and Tieshandu companies in the United States have adopted market behavior when entering our country, and our agricultural companies also have adopted market behavior. Under the premise of this behavior, enterprises must compete and survive the fittest. Mr. Charlton cannot deny this?"
"Mr. Vice Premier, I admit that your country's agricultural companies are taking market behavior, but your country's government has also subsidized them a large amount of funds. Isn't your country's government intentionally instructing agricultural companies to squeeze out our country's enterprises?"
Mu Guoxing smiled slightly: "Haha, Mr. Charlton, when it comes to the issue of agricultural subsidies, I want to ask, which country in the world does not pay attention to the exhibition of agricultural production in its own country, and which country does not subsidize its own agriculture? Is your US government still less subsidies for agriculture? Why can you do what you can't do when we are here?"
Mu Guoxing's words pushed Charlton back without being soft or hard, leaving Charlton with nothing to say. It can also be said that what American politics feared the most was that China mentioned this issue during the negotiations.
According to relevant information, the subsidy for agricultural products by the US government is very strong. Take cotton as an example, the subsidy rate is as high as 89%. In other words, American farmers need to subsidize 89 yuan for 10 yuan of cotton, which is completely beyond the planting cost of American farmers. It is precisely because of this that American cotton is very cheap.
As long as our country imports cheap cotton from the United States, all events will repeat the encounter between soybeans and yu rice. China's own cotton produces no longer has room for competition. In the past, we still introduced Tieshandu's insect-resistant cotton 33b, which can barely be called production. However, as soon as American cotton is imported, China's cotton market will fall again after soybeans and yu rice. This fall is much more serious. After the fall of soybeans, it affects grain and oil. After the fall of yu rice, it affects all ji, duck, egg, and nai products. These two items affect 33% of China's food. If cotton is controlled again, the most important raw materials for textile exports of China will be controlled by the United States.
As early as three years ago, a Hong Kong survey report showed that American cotton, which enjoys high subsidies, will put millions of Chinese farmers in the fate of being squeezed out of the international cotton market. According to the estimates of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture of China, after joining the company, imported cotton took away more than 2.5 billion yuan of Chinese farmers in six years, which is equivalent to each cotton farmer losing 250 yuan of net income. On the one hand, the high political subsidies make the average price of American cotton about 200 yuan lower than that of domestic cotton. On the other hand, major American cotton merchants rely on their mature marketing methods to vigorously lobby domestic companies to use their cotton and vigorously promote "American cotton" in China.
The cotton industry involves planting, storage, textile, printing and dyeing, and clothing. The long industrial chain and large industrial scale are also the main support point for my country's foreign trade exports and economic growth. The impact of American cotton has a huge impact on the textile industry in China. For every ton of American cotton imported by China, there is a subsidy of RMB 60 yuan to American farmers. Moreover, since three years ago, American cotton was shipped to China's bonded areas and dumped in China at a lower price.
Why did Monsanto enter my country's cotton production field at this time, and the United States subsidizes so much cotton at this time? We can imagine that the gap between two or three million tons in China will be subsidized by American cotton, and all this is the conspiracy between Monsanto and the US political system. Everyone knows that China's textiles account for a very large proportion of exports, so this is our real crisis. When our economy cannot be driven up, we will suddenly appear. Whether our economy will enter stagflation depends entirely on the Americans' eyes, and whether the United States will indirectly control our inflation through the control of the three major agricultural products. This is the most terrifying thing.
This is also one of the main reasons why the central government needs to carry out the 333 project. It starts with the production, processing and sales of grain, first ensures the safety of food, and then takes action from other agricultural products such as cotton to ensure the survival of more than one billion people in clothing and textile enterprises.
Charlton also knew that once the four major grain merchants and Tieshan were discussing the issues of China's grain field, it would inevitably involve the sales of American cotton in China, and the export of Chinese goods and the major issues between the two countries' trade. This issue was too important. Charlton felt that he was holding a hot potato in his hand, and he didn't know how to answer Mu Guoxing's question for a while.
"Mr. Charlton, since subsidies to agriculture are something that all countries are doing, we don't need to discuss this issue. If the US government insists on discussing it, I suggest that we arrange another time to discuss this issue specifically. In this case, we can only do things according to the actual situation in our respective domestic situations and market laws. Our China is still very backward in agricultural production, and agricultural products are not competitive in the international market, and they cannot harm the interests of farmers in your country."
Mu Guoxing obviously gave Charlton a step, which means that the agricultural products produced by our country are not enough, and they have no ability to take them out and export them, and will not compete with the United States. In this case, why should the American government make a point to the issue of subsidies for China government in agriculture?
This is actually a concession on behalf of China's government, which means that before our country's agricultural production is improved, agricultural products will not be exported to the outside world. The United States government can be completely at ease in this regard. As for the current subsidies for our country's agriculture, that is our own business!
