Chapter 224 American Bandit Logic

A successful journalist cannot avoid the words "insider trading". In fact, journalists who only shoot some news that suit the situation according to the government's requirements are not worthy of being given the title of journalist. The title of journalist should only belong to those vanguards in the press who have conscience and have a sense of social responsibility.

However, it is not those who deliberately smear the government and fabricate some sensational fake news to attract the attention of the audience. Such people are more hateful than the former because they deliberately provoke opposition between the people and the government and are not conducive to social harmony.

"In fact, this incident is not only caused by the international community's concerns about the reduction of China's domestic rare earth exports, but also closely related to the large civil aircraft project we are planning." Jiang Feng said to Meng Tong.

"It is closely related to the large civil aircraft project?" Meng Tong suddenly felt enlightened. This is something that other media have not reported.

"When the Yun-Ten Project was about to be successful, Americans thought it was a big problem, so McDonald's company sent a Chinese American to persuade the wife of a powerful person to dismount the Yun-Ten Project on the wife route, causing our large aircraft manufacturing technology to lag behind forty years. At that time or now, it was a very successful crisis public relations." Jiang Feng said to Meng Tong, "McDonald's company has obtained the market in mainland China. The US government saw that China destroyed the Great Wall and abandoned its independent research and development technology. It can be said that everyone was happy. The only one who suffered the loss was the Chinese. They no longer had the technical ability to manufacture large aircraft and lost the foundation for further development."

Meng Tong obviously does not understand this situation. The official media obviously will not report such things objectively. Except for some parties involved, they have no chance to know this inside story. Even in the official position, this kind of topic is a taboo.

Jiang Feng didn't want to talk more about such topics. After all, he was interviewed in Beijing, and the interviewee was also CCTV. If he said too much, he would definitely be harmonious.

Therefore, Jiang Feng just mentioned it a little, then changed the topic and continued: "This time, the companies that put pressure on China on the rare earth policy are mainly American military-industrial enterprises, including large arms dealers such as Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. One of the common characteristics of these arms dealers is that they all produce aircraft projects, and whether they are large transport aircraft or civil aircraft, they can be regarded as leaders in the industry."

"Oh, that's the case." Meng Tong nodded, and understood a little.

"The large aircraft project is an operation for civil aircraft, so they naturally do not want to get entangled with the Chinese on this issue, so they think of an indirect way. After all, the rare earth policy is not the only interests of the Americans. When they protest, the EU, Japan and South Korea will also agree, which can increase their international influence." Jiang Feng explained to Meng Tong, "In this way, their goal will be achieved. Once they find a very reasonable and justified request, the Americans have the excuse to interfere in the Chinese market, and finally through insider negotiations with the government, they will try to ruin the large aircraft project again."

"It sounds like a very reasonable and a very sinister conspiracy." Meng Tong said skeptically after hearing this.

Although Jiang Feng is very confident, Meng Tong still needs to adopt a more cautious attitude to analyze these inside information from the perspective of a journalist. After all, as a responsible reporter, it is impossible for him to use irresponsible remarks as the main argument for his articles.

Meng Tong was able to catch Jiang Feng's eye and also have her current status in CCTV, which is inseparable from her professional attitude. There is no doubt that even if Jiang Feng, her man, said, she needs to carefully analyze and summarize so that she can use her article with confidence.

Of course, Jiang Feng also agreed with Meng Tong's cautiousness. A reporter without a sense of responsibility will only cause him a lot of trouble. God knows what those reports will be changed to after they are published in the newspaper?

"From the current media orientation of the United States, the topic that has been hyped is nothing more than one. China's reduction in rare earth export quotas threaten the national security of the United States." Jiang Feng said, "From this topic, we can see that the United States still regards China as a raw material market that can be seized at will."

The media has always been an important public opinion tool that is manipulated by the government, especially in some official and semi-official media. This special role is more obvious. Governments such as Europe and the United States are naturally experts in playing with the media.

It is not uncommon to use the media to perform and achieve their inspiring demands for a political purpose. The most typical examples are the two incidents of the Second Iraq War, such as the armed interference of Americans and EU forces in the late last century and the European Union forces in the last two years, and the Americans used the excuse of the Iraqi Saddam regime having biological and chemical weapons.

In the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia incident, the United States and the European Union actually used media propaganda to break out in the Maritime Alliance. How many innocent nations fell under the butcher knife of the Milosevic government. Using this excuse, the European and American coalition forces entered Belgrade. In fact, the massacre was purely false. On the contrary, a large number of war refugees were caused by the entry of the European and American coalition forces. As for the massacre that was originally widely publicized, there was no evidence at all.

By this time, the European and American coalition forces had stopped talking about the so-called massacre, and the official media also chose to remain silent on this issue, as if this incident had never happened.

The Second Iraq War two years ago was actually exactly the same as the Yugoslavia War. The main reason why the United States and other countries started a war against Iraq was that the Saddam regime had weapons of mass destruction and the Iraqi authorities trampled on human rights. According to US Secretary of Defense Rams Field, the main purpose of this war is: First, eradicate the Saddam regime and help the Iraqi people establish a free and democratic regime; Second, search and destroy weapons of mass destruction hidden in Iraq and eliminate terrorists; Third, end the rule of the ** and provide humanitarian assistance; Fourth, protect Iraq's oil and other natural resources.

However, many public opinion, including some Americans, believe that the reason is not simple. Media such as the Islamic Republic said that the United States has been manipulated by the Jewish group and the occupation of Iraq is just the prelude to the huge aggression plan. In his memoir, Greenspan, the former director of the Federal Reserve, said in his memoir that for political reasons, it was not convenient for him to admit the well-known fact that the attack on Iraq was for oil resources; on February 15, 2011, intelligence personnel who revealed to the United States and Germany that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction admitted for the first time that everything was a lie.

But what's the use of this? The real result is that a sovereign state was forcibly invaded by the United States and eventually subverted.

The fairness of Western media can be seen from this.

Jiangfeng has been adjusting to reduce the export volume of rare earth primary products. This situation is true. Some Western media have also begun to worry, saying that if China strictly restricts rare earth exports, large manufacturing industries in Western countries will face a situation where they can't be put into a pot.

Rare earths are not soil, they are an important strategic resource, especially important raw materials for high-tech industries. For example, in terms of military equipment, some precision strike weapons, some automotive parts and high-tech products all rely on components made of rare earth metals.

This rare strategic resource is mainly concentrated in China, so some Western media commented that when allocating this precious resource, China is favored by God.

According to public information from Western countries, China is the only country that can provide all seventeen rare earth metals, with reserves accounting for 95% of the world. It is a veritable rare earth power. Japan, Europe and North America are its main markets.

"In fact, China does not have much proportion of rare earth reserves, and this number itself is misleading." Jiang Feng said to Meng Tong, "Americans have always liked to plunder other countries' resources, and there is no exception in rare earth resources. In fact, the rare earth reserves in the United States are also very large. As for Russia, it never makes it public. How many rare ten resources can there be? It is a very mysterious number in the entire international community."

"Mr. Jiang, do you mean that Western media has always mislead the public on the rare earth issue?" Meng Tong asked, thinking that this was a very critical issue.

"This is indeed the case." Jiang Feng nodded and replied.

Although rare earth resources with great monopoly potential in China have been sold as land for many years, and the pricing power has always been in the hands of Europe, the United States and other countries.

Due to the lack of restrictions from the Rare Earth Export Guild, various places in China have not coordinated and competed to export, and for the sake of departmental interests or local interests, they competed to lower prices, which consumed domestic rare earth resources too much.

This situation also exists in some other mineral resources, such as tungsten ore, coal mines, and some other very important mineral resources.

China's rare earths have been exported in large quantities for many years, which has led to the accumulation of extremely low prices in Europe and the United States every year. Once the rare earth resources are short, they can easily take out a large amount of rare earth reserves purchased from China to suppress the price of rare earths. (To be continued.
