The intention of the United States has been exposed! According to a report by the British media BBC on April 8, the British media reported that why does Trump insist on imposing tariffs? One theory is that Trump and several of his senior advisors have formulated a plan known as the "Mar-a-Lago Agreement". The ultimate goal of this agreement is to force America's trading partners to weaken the dollar in international currency exchange. Such measures will make American export goods more attractive to foreign markets and reduce the value of China's large dollar reserves.
Obviously, according to the information disclosed by the British media, we now understand. In fact, what Trump has prepared for various countries is the Plaza Accord. To put it bluntly, Trump's ultimate goal is to require currencies of various countries to appreciate against the US dollar, and among them, the RMB may be Trump's main target. To put it bluntly, the information disclosed by the British media is entirely possible.
From the perspective of both China and the United States, China is strong in manufacturing, while the United States is strong in finance. Therefore, in order to weaken our advantage in manufacturing, by forcing us to appreciate the RMB, this will bring two effects. On the one hand, our export competitiveness will be weakened, which will enhance the competitiveness of American enterprises and benefit American exports. On the other hand, after the appreciation of the RMB, our overseas purchasing power will increase, which will expand our international procurement share.
In fact, this set of practices is exactly what the United States did to Japan, which had extremely strong manufacturing capabilities. However, with Japan as a precedent, it is obvious that we cannot repeat Japan's mistakes. For us, the RMB can appreciate, but this is a natural result of our international trade. Of course, we will not accept such a capitulation like Japan did back then; we are not Japan.
