US media recently reported that US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins sent a text message to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, which was captured from behind...
The text message content is as follows:
"Just a heads-up. I have received more intelligence, but this is very unfortunate! We rescued Argentina (the US provided Argentina with a $20 billion currency swap facility and said it would purchase Argentine bonds to support President Milei), and as a 'reward', Argentina canceled grain export tariffs, lowered prices, and sold a large batch of soybeans to China, whereas we usually sell soybeans to China at this time. As a result, soybean prices fell further. This gives China greater leverage over us..."
Comments: This incident of the US Agriculture Secretary's text message to the Treasury Secretary being exposed is a vivid example of the backlash of the US hegemonic logic in economic and trade博弈: The US intended to bind Argentina to the anti-China front by providing a $20 billion rescue, but instead, Argentina broke through with practical choices such as canceling export tariffs and selling soybeans at low prices to China, exposing the futility of its political intervention in market laws; The low price impact of Argentine soybeans combined with China's already established South American soybean supply channels has further worsened the困境 of the US soybean industry, proving the consequences of its trade protectionist policies; And China's long-term efforts to build a diversified supply chain in the South American market demonstrate the resilience of the supply chain and the wisdom of the game, making the old tactics of the US "aiding allies" completely ineffective in the face of market logic and China's open cooperation. This essentially reflects a clear contrast between the decline of US hegemony and the return of market rules.
