00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:05 China is the biggest threat to us in history.
00:07 China is not our friend.
00:09 What Raymondo said has made clear the US position.
00:13 The US is doing everything it can to stop China from overtaking.
00:17 It is obvious that it is greedy for China.
00:20 The world economic big brother of the US
00:22 has finally saved his effort on the surface.
00:25 He is clearly in a heavy fist fight to hit China.
00:29 In fact, there has always been a popular saying
00:32 that the US has been a professional fighter for over 100 years.
00:37 And those who are beaten will die.
00:40 Since the US became the world's biggest boss in 1894,
00:44 in order to keep his dominance,
00:46 he has been guarding against the second-best fighters.
00:49 He is afraid of being overtaken by the second-best.
00:51 Indeed, the second-best fighters who have shown their heads in the past
00:54 have all been beaten by the US.
00:58 This time, the second-best China will be beaten by the US
01:02 like the past second-best countries?
01:04 In order to beat the second-best,
01:06 the US has used all kinds of means.
01:08 In history, the former Soviet Union, Germany and Japan,
01:12 which had been completely overthrown by the UK,
01:14 the four world's second-best countries in the past,
01:17 have all indirectly or directly challenged the US as the biggest boss.
01:21 But all of them were badly beaten by the US.
01:24 In the end, Japan, which was defeated,
01:26 even after more than 30 years of efforts,
01:28 the economy still has not stopped to this day.
01:31 The national fortune has been completely interrupted.
01:33 Now, with the rise of China's power,
01:36 the United States, which has long been the world's biggest boss,
01:39 is increasingly threatened.
01:41 Since the start of the trade war,
01:43 China has been encircled in all directions.
01:46 In the past six or seven years,
01:47 the blow has been stronger than ever.
01:50 Four days ago, the US officially announced that
01:53 China was no longer a friend of the United States,
01:55 but the greatest threat to the United States.
01:59 After the United States became the biggest,
02:01 the first second-best country to be defeated
02:03 was the British Empire, which was once the world's biggest.
02:07 When the United States was independent,
02:09 it was the time when the UK was the world's big brother.
02:12 At that time, one-fourth of the earth's land
02:15 belonged to the British Empire.
02:17 How did the United States do it under such a power?
02:21 Professor Lin Fuyan of the University of Beijing
02:23 explained when he was interviewed by the Eight-Point Daily.
02:25 At that time, the UK was not directly defeated by the United States.
02:29 The two sides did not start a trade war,
02:31 but conducted it in a more cruel form of war.
02:34 During World War I and World War II,
02:36 when the UK and Germany fought to dominate the world,
02:40 the United States was in a state of neutrality,
02:43 sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight,
02:44 and taking advantage of the fish and the monkeys.
02:46 With exports, arms, and other strategic materials,
02:48 the UK was in a state of war and was making a lot of money.
02:52 When the war was about to end,
02:54 the United States sent troops to collect the resources,
02:56 and began to unite with the former Soviet Union
02:58 and the Third World countries to jointly promote anti-colonialism
03:01 and dismantle the last foundation of the UK.
03:04 The vast colony of the UK
03:06 and the military bases all over the world
03:08 were also accepted by the United States.
03:10 After that, the UK became a second-rate country.
03:13 The United States successfully killed this boss without bloodshed,
03:17 and then defeated him from the second-rate position.
03:21 The UK was in World War II.
03:24 At that time, the United States was in a state of "heaven, earth, man, and river".
03:28 Every time a war started, the UK became a neutral country.
03:31 So the UK spent the so-called "war money".
03:34 Both sides were at war,
03:36 and both sides sold their things to make money.
03:39 At that time, the UK made a lot of money.
03:42 It was not easy.
03:43 So the UK made a lot of money.
03:45 After World War II,
03:47 the UK's forces were definitely defeated.
03:50 The UK was already the second-rate country at that time.
03:52 Lin Fuyan said that when World War II broke out,
03:54 the United States chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight in the United States.
03:57 It did not intervene in the war, but made a lot of war money
04:00 and easily defeated the UK.
04:02 But for Germany, which is strong in military and industrial strength,
04:05 it was not so easy for the United States to defeat the other side.
04:08 So the United States played the "fish-man spirit"
04:10 and let Germany and the UK fight
04:12 and then gave their own strength.
04:14 The tragedy of World War II was beyond imagination.
04:16 The profits of the Americans were also beyond imagination.
04:18 Not only did the United States become the richest country in the world by selling weapons,
04:22 but also by landing in Normandy,
04:24 it controlled the whole West Europe.
04:26 However, after the United States defeated Germany,
04:28 a country with a dream of a new boss,
04:31 the Soviet Union began to rise again.
04:33 Zhang Yonglong, director of the Department of Economics,
04:35 of the University of Denmark,
04:37 said in an interview with the "Eight-Point Report" that
04:39 the former Soviet Union, which had disintegrated after World War II,
04:41 was the second largest economy in the world,
04:43 ranked second only to the United States.
04:45 Faced with the existence of a powerful Soviet Union,
04:47 the United States began to suppress the Soviet Union everywhere,
04:49 and launched a cold war against the other side.
04:51 With the strong economic strength,
04:53 some arms and equipment competitions
04:55 eventually broke down the Soviet Union.
04:57 According to historical perspective,
04:59 the Soviet Union and the United States
05:01 are competing in military affairs.
05:03 Then, because of the Communist economic model,
05:06 it is more inefficient to allocate the body
05:09 in the most important place.
05:11 In addition to the military drag,
05:13 the Soviet Union's economy collapsed
05:15 after the 1985-1986 collapse,
05:17 and it fell to the fifth or sixth place
05:19 in the world.
05:21 Then, by the beginning of 1990,
05:23 the Soviet Union was disintegrated.
05:25 So this is the example of the United States
05:27 successfully destroying
05:29 the second largest economy in the world.
05:32 As for Japan, which has been seeking a renewal
05:34 since World War II,
05:36 it finally became the second largest country in the world
05:38 and the U.S. bond country in 1984,
05:40 and reached 60% of the U.S.
05:42 And just when Japan was preparing
05:44 for a big change,
05:46 the U.S. felt that Japan was
05:48 threatening its economy and financial dominance.
05:50 So in 1985,
05:52 it joined forces with the UK, France and Germany
05:54 to force Japan to sign the Square Agreement
05:56 to correct the strong U.S. dollar.
05:58 As a result, the Japanese dollar was forced to increase significantly,
06:00 which caused Japan's economic bubble to break
06:02 and to be completely destroyed.
06:04 From the 1990s to the present,
06:06 Japan's economy has lost 30 years
06:08 and its future.
06:10 This is the 30 years of Japan's loss
06:12 often mentioned in the international financial commentary.
06:14 Japan was in the 1980s.
06:16 At that time, Japan's high-tech industry
06:18 was very advanced.
06:20 So it was the leader
06:22 in the semiconductor industry.
06:24 So it was gradually
06:26 threatening
06:28 the so-called
06:30 position of the American boss.
06:32 So it quickly
06:34 defeated Japan.
06:36 Of course, when it was fighting Japan,
06:38 it used the trade war.
06:40 It was a famous Square Agreement.
06:42 According to the record,
06:44 Japan was not a consideration at all.
06:46 It was a one-sided battle.
06:48 So the U.S. took a big advantage.
06:50 Then the U.S.
06:52 used trade sanctions.
06:54 It said that Japan sold
06:56 its high-tech products to the Soviet Union.
06:58 So it had to investigate and do a lot of things.
07:00 The U.S. thought
07:02 its U.S. dollar currency was too strong.
07:04 So the main economy,
07:06 especially the Japanese economy,
07:08 was too strong.
07:10 So it agreed with G7,
07:12 the members of the Group of Seven,
07:14 to intervene with the central bank
07:16 to make the U.S. dollar currency weaker.
07:18 It was a relatively
07:20 strong currency.
07:22 In fact,
07:24 Japan suffered the biggest loss.
07:26 Because Japan's trade war
07:28 was 86% in the Square Agreement.
07:30 Because its goods
07:32 were exchanged for U.S. dollars,
07:34 the trade war was 86%.
07:36 In order to stimulate its own economy,
07:38 it had to print a lot of banknotes
07:40 in its country.
07:42 But the result of the printing of banknotes
07:44 caused its economy to be bubble-fused.
07:46 So in the 1990s,
07:48 the so-called Japanese economy
07:50 disappeared for ten years.
07:52 Its economy was stagnant for ten years.
07:54 From Germany and the UK in World War II
08:00 to the former Soviet Union in the Cold War
08:02 and to Japan in the 1980s,
08:04 the United States has
08:06 destroyed four world leaders
08:08 over the past hundred years.
08:10 Now China has quickly
08:12 developed into the second largest economy in the world.
08:14 The world ranks second only to the United States.
08:16 The United States,
08:18 which has always wanted to continue to dominate the world,
08:20 has now locked its head in China
08:22 and is getting more and more
08:24 close to its suppression force.
08:26 However, if China's second leader
08:28 is not able to fight back
08:30 in accordance with its current strength
08:32 and the international situation,
08:34 will the United States be able to
08:36 defeat China like it did in the past?
08:38 What is the difference between China
08:40 and the second world leader in the past?
