In mid-September, 2009, the United States brought the tire special protection case to court with many domestic enterprises in China.

On June165438+1October 13, 2009, the United States launched an anti-dumping investigation against China coated paper.

……

By the end of 65438+February, 1, in 2009, the US anti-dumping cases against China increased by 36 percentage points year-on-year, and the funds involved increased by 436% year-on-year.

Under a few pieces of information, it is a hot news in the world this year: Beijing time 20091October 515438, 1 1: 23, US President Barack Obama's "Air Force One" plane landed smoothly at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and began.

In this regard, the official media at home and abroad have always been optimistic, and compared it with the "ice-breaking trip" of former US President Nixon 37 years ago, saying that "China and the United States had in-depth, frank and fruitful talks." However, considering the initial data, can I think that Obama came with warm spring breeze and unfathomable ice pool behind him? I suddenly recalled the fact that on the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese emperor called the President of the United States and declared "eternal loyalty". The next day, the soaring flames of Japanese lightning attacking Pearl Harbor stung the eyes of people all over the world.

And what is the source of a series of trade policies adopted by the United States towards China and the arrogance of scholars? In my opinion, it is "positioning". It lies in the cognition and positioning of the United States on its own land status and strength. If the United States and its people are still positioned as the "global hegemon" in the 20th century, I can understand why the United States launched a series of trade investigations against China this year. It can be understood as the so-called "reviving the United States at the expense of China" or "increasing the export of American products and boosting the economy through the appreciation of the renminbi and the depreciation of the dollar"; I can understand the invincible enthusiasm of American scholars for China's monetary policy ... Maybe I can also understand the German all-out war of aggression against Western Europe and the Japanese Pacific Rim, and I can also understand the fire over Iraq. But the premise of all this is that we recognize the status of the United States as its "global hegemon." And the position of Germany and Japan that it should dominate the world. But the question is, do we really agree?

The answer is completely negative. Thousands of years of human history has proved a unique law: "those who conform to the times prosper, those who go against the times die." Today, the United States is already facing the dilemma of standing on the edge of the economy and may fall into the abyss at any time. At the same time, the unemployment rate in the United States reached the highest data in 26 years in 65438+10.6%! Today, the United States can't even guarantee the integrity of an independent international monetary system, let alone the unique position of the US dollar in the currency. Looking around the world, as the commentary said, after the financial crisis, Americans were pleasantly surprised to find that the United States is still the same, but don't forget that "this world is no longer the imagined world." From Japan to Iran to Afghanistan, Americans should feel that they can't solve these problems. Americans need to face up to themselves again, because as long as a small number of people in the world have the idea of "hegemony", the world will never be peaceful.

The United States needs to reposition itself, and we, big as countries and small as individuals, don't need the correct positioning. With the wrong positioning, we will only get farther and farther away from the finish line. It's time for us in China to stand at a new height and face ourselves again, because only in this way can we move forward in the future.
