The years of red flags

"Brother, you have the strongest connections among all of us graduates. Why don't you explain the Belt and Road Initiative to your juniors?" The host encouraged, "The juniors are counting on you to take care of them."

"This is a trade secret. Whoever knows Jimmy first will have the upper hand." Jiang Hua said jokingly, "How can I reveal this? There is only so much money in total. If I let you make it, I will make less money, right?"

"As far as I know, Senior Brother has always advocated win-win cooperation." The host said with a smile: "I believe that facing us, the younger brothers and sisters who are crying out for help, he will not be stingy."

"Are you putting me on fire?" Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Then let me tell you something?"

"Tell us something!" The host stepped aside and said, "I will leave the podium to you, brother. I hope you can give full play to your abilities."

Fortunately, Jiang Hua had done his homework before coming. After the country announced the Belt and Road Initiative, he got first-hand information. In addition, he had also witnessed a lot of Belt and Road events in his previous life. Although he was not a participant, it did not prevent him from analyzing it from the perspective of an observer.

The Belt and Road Initiative is a rather large-scale plan. It is definitely not enough to explain it clearly in just a few words. Jiang Hua spoke eloquently for more than an hour, holding a teacup.

The group of heroes below, who did not care at first, became serious, and some even took out their cell phones and took notes in their notepads.

After all, he is my senior brother. He is too partial to these juniors. Many things cannot be seen at all unless you reach a certain level.

An hour and a half later, Jiang Hua gulped down the water in his teacup. The host quickly took the initiative to continue. Jiang Hua smiled and said, "I think I have said a lot. If I continue, I guess others will be speechless today."

"Just keep talking. It doesn't matter whether other people talk or not. I want you to speak your mind to the end today."

Many people in the audience laughed and said, "Yes, brother, please continue. I haven't heard enough."

"I can't go on." Jiang Hua smiled: "If I continue, it will be too one-sided and too subjective, which will hinder your judgment. I suggest that we invite some experts and scholars to give lectures, such as Professor Wen Tiejun and Professor Jin Yinan."

A junior student asked, "Brother, it's better not to bother two people with one thing. Can you help invite these two people over?"

"That's right. Are you sure you have time to listen?"

The host immediately interrupted, "Since even Senior Brother admires someone, we will naturally have time to listen to his profound opinions, but that is for the future. Senior Brother, please say a little more today. Everyone is not satisfied yet."

"Yes, even if it is a one-sided and subjective view."

Jiang Hua helplessly took a big sip of tea: "I can't say anything more, why don't I tell you about the obstacles of the Belt and Road Initiative."

"The Belt and Road Initiative is good, both for us and for the countries along the route, but there is one country that will be hurt." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I just said it, our old rival on the other side of the ocean, the Ugly Country."

"With the promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative and the official operation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank," Jiang Hua said with a smile, "business owners will find that the U.S. is about to take action, with endless sanctions, endless tariff increases, and endless dumping investigations. The U.S. is about to use its three axes."

Jiang Hua said proudly: "Maybe everyone is a little unclear, why we were able to quickly receive a large number of orders from around the world when we started reform and opening up." "Because the Ugly Country wanted to train us to become a supplier of low-tech products."

"Because the Ugly Country wants to plunder resources from us and then dump high-tech on us."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, that's right, this is all from the book."

"What's the reason for that?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "The reason is very simple. The Ugly Country has used the hegemony of the US dollar to reap profits from all over the world to enrich itself. In the past, we were not open, and our finance was not in line with the world, so it could not reap profits even if it wanted to. Now that we are open, the Ugly Country is very happy. If a market of 1.2 billion people is cultivated, the profits reaped will be huge."

"Isn't that the equivalent of fattening up a pig before slaughtering it?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "That's right, the words are rough but the truth is there. The ugly people also understand some rough principles. They also know that if you want to get something, you must first give it."

Seeing everyone's selfish looks, Jiang Hua said, "I don't know if you have noticed that although the country's credit rating is still A plus, their debt has increased a lot in the past few years."

"Brother, the scale of Ugly Country's debt should not be that large now. Ugly Country can repay it easily."

Jiang Hua nodded: "The current scale is indeed not a big deal for them, but you must remember to look at it from a development perspective. 20 years ago, these US debts were easy for the United States to pay off, but years later, the situation is no longer the same as it was years ago."

"The United States is eliminating manufacturing. In the past, relying on high-tech manufacturing, the United States could quickly repatriate a lot of funds from the world. But now they only have two trump cards left, one is financial hegemony, and the other is oil. If they want to repay the US debt, they can only rely on finance and oil to reap the world."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but the new Ugly Country President has been actively promoting a universal health insurance policy since he came to power. This requires money, and where does the money come from? As we all know, if the Ugly Country wants to use money, there is only one way, and that is to issue bonds."

"So the U.S.'s debt will continue to grow," someone shouted. "They will continue to repay debts, issue new bonds, and repay debts again. Once they fall into such a vicious circle, it will be impossible for the economy to make any significant progress."

"Congratulations, you are right." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "So in the future, the ugly country will frequently fall into debt crisis, and they will also increase the intensity and frequency of harvesting the world. If they are harvested frequently, even a fool will know which side they should stand on."

Some people say: "His military hegemony is an obstacle that cannot be circumvented."

"Don't worry, the Ugly Country is just a paper tiger." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The Gulf War allowed the world to see high technology, but from 2001 to now, they have been beaten to a pulp in the graveyard of empires. The so-called military hegemony is only the last blip."

Everyone looked happy when they heard Jiang Hua's words. It seemed that the Ugly Country was not scary after all. They were immediately full of confidence.
