Watch Out for America Using USD to Buy China

A currency system with virtually no limits leads America, Japan and Europe to wantonly print and spend money. The public is debt-ridden and in a precarious situation. Europe is still experiencing a debt crisis, America faces a looming "fiscal cliff" and Japan's appalling "river of debt" has already surpassed their economic aggregate twice over. In an effort to deflect the risks and avert a crisis, they are working together to achieve "quantitative easing." Because of this, a financial flood is engulfing the world and engulfing China.

Today we have already seen three cycles of "quantitative easing" without limits or boundaries on global investments and which completely lack the intrinsic value found in currency. The American Federal Reserve will continuously give "worthless" U.S. dollars to massive financial institutions, including all types of investment funds (which remain very quiet) and pursue large-scale purchasing of resources, physical assets and corporate shares from various countries around the world. In other words, today the U.S. depends on other countries' wealth (mainly emerging markets) for a foundation from which to issue U.S. dollars. Because of this America is borrowing, at no cost, U.S. dollars to purchase the world and to purchase China.

For many years, China exchanged worthless USD for real resources, products and services (Japan's yen and the euro are reaching a similar state as the U.S. dollar). The more U.S. dollars China spent, the more wealth was lost. This is the real secret behind Chinese people being "hard-working but not prosperous." For years America, with Wall Street investment banks and hedge funds at its core, has implemented a financial attack on gradually developing countries and forced them to increase their reserves of USD.

As of today, 92 percent of U.S. dollars flow out of America. Most of these dollars are invested into emerging markets, including China. To ensure that their dollars, which have absolutely no intrinsic value, do not make their way back into America, for many years America has been "taking strict precautions": other countries' holdings of USD, except for purchasing bonds, cannot be used to buy any assets or resources with actual value from America. This is directly linked to America's economic and national security; otherwise, foreign countries could easily use their massive quantities of U.S. dollars to purchase anything. Therefore, America established The Foreign Investment Review Board, whose important responsibility is to prevent things being "acquired with U.S. dollars." This is the fundamental reason for limitless, unwarranted reviews of ZTE, Huawei Technologies, Sanyi Heavy Industry, and other enterprises.

In recent years, China's private equity has been like bamboo shoots after the spring rains. According to reports, Zhejiang Province alone has tens of thousands of homes, and much of the funding comes from overseas, no-cost, unlimited amounts of USD and extensive purchasing of shares in Chinese-funded enterprises. Given this, China cannot foolishly welcome "foreign investment." Realistically improving industry structure and implementing necessary industry upgrades could also introduce new projects as well as related equipment, technology and regulations. Funding needs to be supported by our domestic currency (renminbi, or RMB) and absolutely cannot be drawn into foreign exchange. The idea is, do not allow even one cent of American investments into China. China can resist increasing foreign exchange reserves of credit currencies like the USD; or, like a "black sheep" can squander the foreign exchange reserves that we do have. Without this step, significant amounts of our foreign exchange reserves will be wiped out by America, Japan and Europe's endless, infinitely large "quantitative easing."

Some writers suggest we use our reserves to acquire shares in enterprises outside of China in order to effectively increase both the public sector's status within the national economy and state owned-enterprises' dominance. Or, a portion of the reserves will be transferred to large, well-known private enterprises, and then be acquired by foreign enterprises. In the future, related Chinese businesses would then pay back China in RMB, thereby solving China's debt problems with social security, healthcare, etc.


江涌:警惕美国用美元收购中国

  近乎不受任何约束的信用货币体制,使美欧日放肆地印钱花钱,公共债台高筑而岌岌可危,欧洲债务危机仍在持续,美国“财政悬崖”日益逼近,日本“债务悬河”吓人,公债早已超过经济总量两倍。美欧日为转移风险、转嫁危机,正齐心协力“量化宽松”,由此引发的金融大洪水正在淹没世界,淹没中国。

  如今已有三轮“量化宽松”,无止境、无限量向世界投放没有任何内在价值的货币符号。美联储将“一文不值”的美元源源不绝地交给美国巨型金融机构,包括各类投资基金,由后者静悄悄、大规模收购世界各国的资源、实物资产、企业股份。换言之,如今美元的发行,是以他国(主要是新兴市场)的财富为发行基础,由此美国借用零成本的美元收购世界、收购中国。

  多年来,中国以真实的资源、产品、劳务换得的其实是一文不值的美元(日元、欧元越来越近似美元),中国换得的美元越多,流失的财富也就越多这是中国人“勤劳而不富裕”的真正秘密。多年来美国通过华尔街以投资银行与对冲基金为核心,对日趋开放的国家实施金融袭击,由此来逼迫其他国家增加美元储备。

  如今,92%的美元流出美国,其中主要涌入日趋开放的新兴市场,包括中国。为防止无任何内在价值的美元资金回流美国,多年来,美国一直“严防死守”,他国持有的美元资金,除了购置美元债券,不容许甚或严禁购买任何美国有真实价值的资产。这的确直接关系到美国的经济安全与国家安全否则美国会很轻易地被外国人持有的天量美元所收购,因此美国成立了外资投资审查委员会,责无旁贷担负与履行严防“被美元收购”的重要职责。对中国的中兴、华为、三一重工等企业的无限审查与无端指责,其根本原因就在于此。

  近年来,中国的私募基金如雨后春笋,据报道,仅浙江一地就有数万家,很多资金源于境外零成本无限量的美元,大肆收购中资企业股份。鉴于此,中国不可以再傻乎乎地引进“外资”,如切实有改善产业结构,实施产业升级的必要,也可以引进项目以及相关设备、技术与管理,资金一定由国内人民币配套,而绝对不可以引入外汇。要有不让一美分外资流入中国的观念。中国可以不增加任何以美元等信用货币标识的外汇储备,或像“败家子”那样花掉我们手中持有的非黄金外汇储备,否则巨额外汇储备会被美欧日无止境、无限量的“量化宽松”稀释精光。
 
  笔者建议用我们的外汇储备收购在华外资企业股份,以此来切实提高公有制经济在国民经济中的主体地位、国有企业的主导地位。或者将一部分外汇资金交由大型知名私营企业,进而对外资企业实施收购。未来,相关中资企业向国家偿还人民币资金,由此解决中国社保、医保等欠账问题。(作者是中国现代国际关系研究院研究员)
