Drop Imagination, Prepare for battles

History is sometimes headstrong, giving people endless emotion. The Sino-U.S. trade war shows new variables: After China announced the U.S. imposing tariff list, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai first met with the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State and demanded that the U.S. immediately stop mistaking China. However, President Trump also demanded an increase of 100 billion U.S. dollars in tariffs at the first time, bringing the trade confrontation with China to a new level. From then on, the trade war between China and the United States was staged by soldiers, and the front line shouted and entered the stage of bullet bombing. The global market has been shaken by this.
How to look at the immediate situation, we may wish to revisit an article written by Chairman Mao on August 14, 1949, entitled "Lost Imagination and Prepare for Struggle." Many of these judgments may still have great practical significance.
"Lost fantasy, ready to fight" is a report that commented on U.S. Secretary of State Acheson's giving to U.S. President Truman that the people of the country should give up on the "fantasy" of the United States because "the nature of imperialism will not change." The article said: "The publication of these documents ... reflects the decline of the entire imperialist world system. The internal contradictions of the imperialist system are insurmountable and the imperialists are in great discomfort."
Due to the changes of the times and with the deepening of globalization, the world situation has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Some of these expositions express the characteristics of that era, but the conclusions are surprisingly accurate, that is, the West is “into a great deal of depression”. And how to get rid of this bitterness, Western countries have different approaches and policies. The Trump administration chose today's practices. Whether this will enable President Trump to “get out of depression”, the world is staring at the sequel to this “century trade war”.
How Chairman Mao judged that year has implications for today's situation. Chairman Mao said, “Be prepared to fight... Then there is hope that we can deal with the foreign imperialist countries under conditions of equality and mutual benefit.” Because “the desire to persuade imperialism... to send good intentions, to go back and forth, is Impossible.” Now that this judgment is very accurate, the core of the problem has been caught.
Chairman Mao had an interesting remark in the article. He said: "The Communist Party is a poor party, and it is widely persuaded by the Kuomintang to kill people, set fire to anyone, commit adultery and plunder, refrain from history, culture, motherland, parents, and teachers. , unreasonable, total communes, shoal tactics, in short, a group of blue-faced teeth, evil people." But it is such a group of people eventually won. One reason is that the imperialists have prepared adequate "material conditions" and "spiritual conditions" for the Chinese people.
It can be seen now that the ultimate goal of the U.S. government does not seem to lie in the "trade deficit," but in another attempt. In order to achieve their goals, they may all be desperate and continue to promote strategies to curb the rise of China.
When we deal with related issues, we must abandon the two naive and simple judgments: First, the US economy cannot be separated from China; the second US cannot afford a trade war with China. These two judgments need to be corrected in time.
China must have the worst preparations and strive for the best results. And the most important thing is: The preservation of strength is the first key.
Only the preservation of strength can successfully complete the 2020, 2025, 2035 and 2050 development plans. Although the “blocking tactics” of the United States and its allies may allow China to achieve its goals in the next few years, the development momentum of China’s reform and opening up to “going to the east of Dajiang” cannot be prevented.
The anger between China and the U.S. and the United States seems to be a bit difficult for the other side to ride a tiger. However, things have not deteriorated to the point where they cannot be picked up. Opportunities are at the foot of the country. China has survived this difficulty and must be in front of the “Yanming Huaming Youyi Village”.
“The future is bright and the road is tortuous.” China’s reform and opening up has gone through 40 years of ups and downs, and it will surely cross this ridge.
“The storm sent spring return, the snow meets spring.” China will certainly become stronger and more mature in the complex and ever-changing international situation.
This is not only the expectation of the Chinese people but also the hope of the people of the world. (Senior Fellow, Chongyang Institute of Finance, Renmin University of China)

Of course, this is the worst decision.
