Chapter 975: Tough Counterattack
Niu Ruzheng is worthy of being known as a giant with the temperament of a new generation of doers.
At 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 3, the third day after Xiao Qi's proposal, the Ministry of Commerce of China officially announced that at the request of 239 agricultural product companies and agricultural cooperative organizations in China, it would impose a ...... on soybeans, corn, cotton, peanuts, sorghum, and rice in the United States and so on 12 kinds of agricultural products, anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations.
At the same time, agriculture-related companies and organizations have strongly demanded that the Chinese government impose punitive import tariffs on these U.S. agricultural imports.
Relevant officials of China also revealed at the press conference that this time it involves the livelihood of 800 million farmers in China, and the government will definitely take it seriously and never let go of a crisis that may endanger China's agriculture!
Almost within a few hours, before the U.S. government could react, the news spread to every corner of Shijie through television, newspapers, and the Internet.
What made the White House mad the most was that almost as soon as they received the news, the eight purely agricultural states, the 13 agriculture-based states, and the 12 states where agriculture accounted for more than 30 percent of the GDP were all received by the White House, regardless of counties, cities, villages and towns.
And they also made the ins and outs of the matter clear, knowing that this was because the U.S. Department of Commerce conducted a double anti-dumping investigation on China's machinery products, which led to a fierce reaction from China.
If it is said that no one is secretly playing ghosts, idiots will not believe it.
But now they have no time to get angry, too late to rebuke the Chinese government, because the American people, who have always been impulsive, have already begun to erupt in large-scale and fierce demonstrations and gatherings.
The peasant uncles are not only scolding the Chinese government for being unreasonable, but also scolding the U.S. government for eating too much and having nothing to do, just more than a billion dollars in mechanical products. So what to do seriously, the US agricultural products, which now have annual sales of $15 billion in China, are about to face a huge dilemma.
The city government, the city council, the state government, the state legislature have been surrounded by angry people.
The peasant uncles and the workers in the related industries are shouting slogans that the government will give them a solution, otherwise they will be completely good-looking.
The bad news came one after the other.
Here, the White House and the Senate are holding emergency meetings. The customs department in China has announced that it will consider temporarily sealing American agricultural products and letting them stay on the shore until the results of the anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigation are out.
Hearing the news, George W. Bush was so angry that he dropped his glass.
Do you want to go too far?
Agricultural products are not industrial products!
Being detained at the port every day, there is no way to enter the sales process, and it is very likely to deteriorate and break!
At that time, even if China and the United States reach a compromise, there will be no way to sell it!
News from the United States. From, in fact, it's also nonsense. When they encounter important news in their own country, they will also regulate the news.
At the first time, the Associated Press, CNN, ABC, Fox News, etc., all desperately diverted the public's attention and did not want them to learn more about the hard-line actions of the Chinese government.
However, there are too many people who fall into the ground.
The BBC in the UK, the National Radio 2 in France, and the Iberia Daily in Spain...... and other media, like crazy, put the sudden contradiction between China and the United States. It was reported at the fastest speed and most widely disseminated.
They can not care about the embarrassment of both countries, in their eyes. It's just two superpowers, dog-eat-dog.
One wanted to sanction another country's machinery products, and the other rose up to resist and directly seized the lifeblood of the United States' exports -- agriculture, and suddenly it became a mess.
Thanks to the development of the Internet, the peasant uncles stopped watching American television and news, and they gathered together in groups of three or five. Using satellite TV and the Internet, I watched the latest news reported by the media of various countries.
In an interview, a vice minister of commerce of the Chinese government once again reiterated his viewpoint: China's 239 agricultural product companies and agricultural cooperative organizations have a lot of evidence of dumping and subsidies of US agricultural products. Once the Chinese government finds out that this is true, the antidumping and countervailing duty rates will be at least 71.29 percent to 320.38 percent, and the tax on US agricultural products within three years may be retroactive, depending on the situation.
All right.
Many people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
According to the data calculated by the Italians, the entire tax rate is calculated, and not only can the American peasants not make a penny from the trade with China, but all the agricultural products in this batch are not enough to be given to the Chinese people in vain, and they have to continue to be deducted from the next batch -- if you don't want to export to China again, then you should pay the bills or refuse to pay.
When the peasant uncles heard this, this is worth it, I don't make money, I don't say it, I have to lose money? Or even lose all your money?!
it. Target!
China is too far away from the United States, and it is impossible for the peasant uncle to drive a tractor across the ocean to teach the Chinese people a lesson, so simply bully the American bureaucrats nearby!
It's not that they have nothing to do, where is there so much mess!?
As a result, a large number of peasants once again walked out of their estates and began to march towards a higher level of government departments, and even hundreds of peasant uncles appeared near the White House.
You must know that it has only been less than five hours since the Chinese government announced the launch of the anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigation on agriculture!
The reporters who had been guarding the door of the White House for a long time rushed over excitedly and interviewed these angry peasant uncles.
The U.S. government dared to drive out the crowds of all kinds of rallies, but they would never dare to use violence against a group of industries, and the workers and farmers could not afford to provoke them. -- Ford and Rockefeller dared to shoot at their own workers, but they never dared to shoot at the peasant uncle, otherwise the whole of America would definitely be violent. Mess up!
"This Bush is really not a thing! I've heard it said on TV that the number of mechanical products in Huaguo is not much, and there are not many violations, but I want to go against Huaguo! I have chosen him before, and I have chosen him, and now I regret it! ”
"Where is McCain, who is clamoring for severe punishment of China? Does he dare to stand in front of me? Do you see my big fist? ”
"Don't think I read too much, didn't I say it on TV? You don't recognize that China is a market economy country, a non-market economy country, and subsidize your own country's products, isn't that a matter of course? ”
"I don't care what the two governments of your two countries are messing with, anyway, if anyone hinders me from making money, our family of fifteen will fight with him!!"
"......" (To be continued......)
