Volume 3 The Storms of the East China Sea Chapter 4 Frozen Three Feet

In just a few years, the relationship between the Republic and Japan has undergone a radical transformation

In 2009, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lost the general election and the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) came to power, and Sino-Japanese relations underwent a major change in the first two years, because the head of government of the DPJ did not visit the Yasukuni Shrine, advocated improving relations with Asian countries, especially China, and no longer sending troops overseas. As a result, Sino-Japanese relations have greatly improved, the two sides have exchanged visits by heads of government, and cooperation and exchanges in the economic, cultural, and diplomatic fields have been deepened

The "honeymoon" did not last long, and in less than two years, Sino-Japanese relations underwent a major transformation

In 2011, a year after the composite battery and superconducting >: structure, improving the level of industrial production, the first trial-run controllable nuclear fusion power station started construction, which opened the curtain of the all-electric era The Republic stood at the forefront of the sixth scientific and technological revolution and became the initiator and leader of the industrial revolution

On the surface, the industrial revolution triggered by the sixth scientific and technological revolution with all-electric drive and controllable nuclear fusion power generation technology as the core after the steam engine, internal combustion engine, nuclear energy, electronic technology and network technology has not been immediately extended from the republic to the world, and has a significant impact on the industrial structure of the republic in the short term, but in the era of global economic integration, especially in the context of the financial crisis just ended, the sixth scientific and technological revolution will inevitably have a decisive impact on the global economy and trade. Changing the global industrial structure

From the perspective of the Republic itself, the Sixth Scientific and Technological Revolution not only resolved many problems in economic development, but also provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Chinese nation to rejuvenate

As soon as the composite battery and superconducting motor were born, Ji Youguo began to vigorously promote the adjustment of the industrial structure

The core of industrial restructuring is to eliminate low-end industries with high energy consumption, labor-intensive, and low added value, and make every effort to develop high-end industries that are environmentally friendly, energy-saving, high-tech, and high value-added, so as to improve labor production efficiency, increase laborers' incomes, and increase the proportion of domestic consumption in the economy

In terms of specific policies, Ji Youguo's approach is very simple, that is, "the country retreats and the people advance"

By liberalizing the market monopolized by state-owned enterprises, lowering the market access threshold, giving preferential tax treatment to private enterprises, increasing support for private enterprises, and strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights, we will fully mobilize and give full play to the power of the private sector, encourage private capital to increase investment in new industries, ensure the interests of private enterprises, and more effectively transform new technologies and technologies into actual production capacity

In the past five years, Ji Youguo's "New Deal" has been questioned by many people and has encountered great resistance

Facts have proved that the Chinese nation's ability to innovate and create is incomparable, and as long as the burden and shackles are removed, and the people's talents and abilities are allowed to give full play to their talents, no one can stop the Chinese nation from moving forward, and while the whole world is still struggling in the aftermath of the financial crisis, the Republic of China is developing at an average rate of more than 10 percent a year, and its total economic output has doubled in five years

In the long run, industrial restructuring is the only good medicine to solve the problem of "population aging".

By 2015, the population growth of the Republic > will turn negative between 2021 and 2024, history proves that without the industrial and technological revolution, any country can not develop rapidly when the population is declining, and even will enter a period of recession, Japan entered a period of recession in the early nineties of the last century, an important reason is that the problem of "aging" in Japanese society is becoming more and more serious, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has been sluggish for decades, and the key reason is that Russia has entered the stage of "negative population growth".

Compared with the challenge from the outside, "population aging" has brought more serious harm to the Republic and the Chinese nation

The only way to solve the problem of "population aging" is to improve industrial production efficiency and increase per capita production capacity, and the only way to achieve this goal is to use new technologies and technologies to increase industrial production capacity through the industrial revolution, and use fewer workers to produce more social wealth to make up for the loss of labor force and land

The industrial revolution is not an overnight thing, and it cannot be achieved overnight

As far as the republic and the Chinese nation are concerned, if they fail to complete the industrial revolution within 10 years and enter the ranks of developed countries, they will face the dilemma of "growing old before they get rich," and there will be no way to talk about national rejuvenation and national rejuvenation

In the first five years, Ji Youguo made every effort to adjust the domestic industrial structure and lay the foundation for the industrial revolution

The next five years will be a critical period for the industrial revolution of the Republic

The industrial revolution is not only a revolution in one or two key technologies, but also requires the use of new technologies in production, and the establishment of supporting infrastructure such as several ultra-high voltage power grid trunk lines across the country, a large-scale road transportation system, the construction of more power plants, a new economic system, and a supporting judicial and administrative system, etc., all require a lot of time, manpower and financial resources

It can be seen from this that Ji Youguo does not want to have a conflict with other countries at this time

The republic needs a peaceful and stable domestic environment, and it needs a relatively relaxed international environment A year ago, Ji Youguo made up his mind to attack India, hoping to demonstrate the military strength of the republic, play a deterrent role in neighboring countries, and create a relatively ideal development environment for the republic, but it backfired, and there are always so many people and countries in the world

I hope to see the rejuvenation of the Republic, but I do not want to see the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation

In the final analysis, the contradiction between the Republic and Japan is the contradiction between Eastern civilization and Western civilization

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the road of "total westernization", which gained decades of prosperity and became the most powerful country in Asia, and finally became one of the source countries of World War II

During the LDP administration, Japan's core policy was the "U.S.-Japan Alliance"

Although after the Democratic Party of Japan came to power, many changes have taken place in Japan's basic policies, such as strengthening political, diplomatic, and military autonomy, improving relations with neighboring countries, and strengthening its identity as an "Asian country". However, the "US-Japan alliance" is still Japan's core policy, and the DPJ's "independent policy" focuses on Japan as a core country in Asia and focuses on deterring the republic

As the effects of the republic's industrial restructuring gradually emerged, the confrontation between China and Japan became more and more inevitable

Last year, the Republic vetoed Japan's application for "permanent membership" at the UN Security Council, which became a major turning point in Sino-Japanese relations

In the following six months, the contradictions between the Republic and Japan in the economic, trade, and diplomatic fields became increasingly prominent

At the end of 2015, Japan took the lead in imposing huge anti-dumping tariffs of 75% to 150% on 278 kinds of Republic goods, and then the Republic imposed huge trade subsidy tariffs of 100% to 200% on 322 Japanese goods, and the trade war between the two countries officially started In the first half of 2016, the trade volume between the two sides fell by 35% year-on-year

At the beginning of 2016, Japan filed a complaint with the WTO, demanding that the Republic pay Japan US$240 in intellectual property compensation for the misuse of 21 patented technologies for electronic, network, and communication products, and then the Republic filed a counter-complaint, demanding that Japan pay the Republic US$380 in compensation for the misappropriation of 14 intellectual property rights related to composite batteries and superconducting motors

Before the World Trade Organization made a ruling on the Sino-Japanese intellectual property issue, Japan announced that it would set up a special office in Taipei, and then Kyodo News and the Associated Press published relevant reports, the Japanese government is trying to repeal the law of "prohibiting foreign arms sales", and it is very likely that it will sell weapons and equipment to Taiwan or military technology, and the Republic immediately recalled its ambassador to Japan, expelled the personnel of the Japanese embassy and consulates, and downgraded bilateral diplomatic relations to the level of chargé d'affaires until the Japanese government announced that it would not undermine the "one China" principle and abolish the special office in Taipei. Diplomatic relations between China and Japan have only returned to normal

Although the confrontation between the Republic and Japan did not rise to the military level, everyone smelled gunpowder

As far as the Republic is concerned, the purpose of containing Japan is to prevent Japan from once again threatening peace and stability in Asia and the world at large, to avoid repeating the tragedy of several decades ago, to ensure the Republic's status as a great power in Asia and even in the world, and not to give Japan more room for expansion

As far as Japan is concerned, the fundamental purpose of its confrontation with the Republic is to gain a broader space for survival, to obtain better opportunities for development, to become a political, diplomatic, and military power, to shake off the status of a defeated country, and to become a world power and the number one power in Asia

While the two governments are engaged in fierce confrontation, the civil forces of both sides are also wrestling with each other

In half a year, it is the returned Chinese represented by Yanbo who sang the leading role According to the previous arrangement, Yanbo established the "Sanjian Resources Investment Group" on the basis of the acquisition of dozens of resource enterprises, and then obtained huge loans with the group's assets as collateral, and acquired resource industries overseas in just half a year, the scale of the "Sanjian Resources Investment Group" expanded by 40%, and invested in resource exploitation in more than 40 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America

Driven by Yanbo, within half a year, dozens of overseas Chinese businessmen such as Ye Yongji returned to China one after another

At the beginning of the year, Yan Bo and Ye Yongji co-founded the "Federation of Returned Chinese Entrepreneurs", calling on Chinese businessmen from all over the world to devote themselves to the modernization of the motherland and contribute to the rejuvenation of the nation

The trickle of water converges into a river, and the river converges into the sea

In this movement, known as the "Chinese General Mobilization", the assets brought by returned Chinese businessmen alone amounted to 180 billion US dollars, injecting surging impetus into the industrial revolution of the Republic

The "collective action" of overseas Chinese had an even greater impact on Japan

In just six months, the scale of the "overseas agricultural reclamation bases" obtained by Luo Shihua and other five Chinese businessmen in Africa and Southeast Asia has tripled, while the "overseas agricultural reclamation bases" of Japanese enterprises have only increased by 14 percent during the same period

The contradictions between the Republic and Japan have accumulated over time and are intricately intertwined

Before making a strategic decision, Ji Youguo had to fully consider these issues

What is in front of him is not a multiple-choice question, but an analytical questionNo matter what Ji Youguo chooses, the contradiction between the Republic and Japan will not be resolved immediately, let alone for the better
