No wonder the United States has complained about the Trump team for former politicians, because the international credibility that the Trump team has built has been built for more than 80 years can basically be said to be ruined.
How to say it? From the Roosevelt New Deal to the Marshall Plan after World War II, from the Bretton Woods system to the permanent member of the UN Security Council, it took the United States four generations to establish some international credibility in front of the world.
But as soon as Trump's team took office, the United States withdrew from the TPP, the Paris Climate Agreement, UNESCO... The international order after World War II was dismantled like building blocks and toys. French scholars have made it clear: this gameplay will only "intensify global inequality", while the Financial Times is more blunt: Trump wants a "darker and poorer world."
Sometimes, the US Department of Commerce suddenly issued a deadly order to nuclear power giants such as Westinghouse Electric and Emerson: to stop selling nuclear power plant equipment to China immediately! What exactly are the things that are choking?
1. Reactor control system (equivalent to the "brain" of a nuclear power plant)
2. Nuclear-level sensors (key components for monitoring radiation and safety)
3. Special alloy materials (core materials that are resistant to high temperature and high pressure)
These equipment combined are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Now the nuclear power plant projects under construction in China can only rely on inventory parts, and all new equipment has been cut off.
This move is a bad move, because American companies will also suffer heavy losses. Westinghouse Electric's core reactor equipment cannot be sold, and the construction of the AP1000 unit of China's Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant may take half a year to a year.
Emerson's nuclear-level instrumentation and safety valves were cut off, and the digital control system of the nuclear power plant was directly paralyzed.
Not only does these two companies' business fail in China, more than 400 nuclear power plants (including the United States) around the world that use their technology, may also be implicated.
Trump just bragged in May that he would "quadruple the US nuclear power within 25 years", but he turned to cut the Chinese market of Westinghouse Electric, the largest nuclear power supplier. This operation even US media complained: "It's like giving money to Russian and French companies!"
The United States may have forgotten that China's nuclear power is no longer "Wu Xia Amon":
Domestic technology comes to the top: 95% of the equipment of the "Hualong One" unit is domestically produced, and its own "Dragon Scale" control system does not need to look at the face of the United States.
Allies are ready to fill up: alternative equipment from Russia (Rosatom) and France (France Maton) are already waiting in line.
French media admit that: "We taught China to build nuclear power back then, but now they are better than Master!"
Previously, CNN stated that "the impact of Sino-US trade friction on the industry is negligible, and all core technologies have been conquered by Chinese companies. China's nuclear power has built a fully independent industrial system, which is completely independent from equipment manufacturing to fuel supply, and its technology output covers the Asian, African and Latin American market. As industry experts said, "The blockade will only force China to surpass faster." In the future, with the commercial use of fusion (2030) and the promotion of fourth-generation reactors, China will move from a "nuclear power power" to a "nuclear power power power power power".
Moreover, China has long left a big move. If the United States continues to cause trouble, China can cut off the supply of rare earths (90% of the world's refining capacity is in China) and nuclear-grade graphite (a necessary material for making reactors). At that time, the United States' military industry and new energy industries will be dumbfounded. #Certified Author Incentive Program#
