China vs United States - From Cold War to Commercial War -Donald Trump have a chance of winning this war?









1.

Updated today: 26/04/2020

Donald Trump has signed the first phase of a new trade agreement with China after two years of tension between the two superpowers that have rattled economies around the world.

Trump said: “Today, we are taking a momentous step towards a future of fair and reciprocal trade. Together we are righting the wrong of the past.”

At long last Americans have a government that puts them first at the negotiating table,” he said. “This is the biggest deal anybody has ever seen.” says Theguardian

The two leaders met for about two hours in Buenos Aires after the G20 summit, the first such meeting since the outbreak of the trade war.

China has announced that Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump have decided not to impose new commercial tariffs after January 1, 2019.

At the G20 summit in Argentina, G20 leaders adopted joint statements that mention trade divisions but do not criticize protectionism.

The Cold War between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China began in 1950 on the occasion of the Korean War. Mao Zedong and Kim ir Sen, the leader of North Korea, intended to annex South Korea to scatter communism. The Americans intervened in favor of the South Koreans and stopped the communist expansion, failing to release the whole of Korea due to the Chinese intervention. It was good if Harry S. Truman listened to the gen. MacArthur on his plan.

The war ended with armistice and the restoration of the border to the 13th parallel.

2. The war in Vietnam

It was a proxy war between China and the USSR that supported the North Vietnamese and US Communists who backed opponents in southern Vietnam. The war was bloody and despite tactical victories involving air bombs with napalm, it ended with a defeat for the Americans retreating their troops and having 58,000 losses.

The Sino-American Cold War officially ended in the 1973 Paris Peace Accords and Nixon's visit to China where he met Mao_Zedong


After Mao's death, China liberated itself under Deng Xiaoping, and relations between the US and China improved.

3. But after the failed pro-democracy revolution in Tiananmen Square in 1989 and Deng's death, relations have cooled. China has become a serious competitor for the strongest economic powers since then, Japan and the US. China has become the world's largest producer and constantly threatening America's supremacy and rivaling Asian tigers like Japan, Taiwan and South Korea using North Korea as a scarecrow. China now claims to become once again the empire and quarrels with Japan and Malaysia for some islands in the South China Sea, and Senkaku is a potential outbreak of future maritime and air warfare.


In 2018, although he ended peace with North Korea on nuclear weapons, Donald Trump told China's Commercial War to raise steel and aluminum tariffs because China has stolen his jobs, and many US manufacturers have fled US tax on tax havens Chinese leave many Americans unemployed in the Rust Belt willing to vote with Trump.

The smallest nuclear power plant in the world. Only 6 meters long and heat 500,000 homes.

China builds the smallest nuclear power plant in the world that will be used over 5 years

This plant will be inside a shipping container and can generate 10 megawatts of heat, enough to cover the needs of 500,000 homes. It will be placed in future on a platform in the South China Sea. Known as Hedianbao or nuclear battery portable small power plant measured 6.1 meters 2.6 meters. It can work for several decades until you have refueled. Moreover, it may be used to desalinate large quantities of water which subsequently can be used as fresh water.

However, there is a risk that some of the incidents to cause a release of nuclear power, which may be catastrophic, and the temperature of the sea water in which it will be placed to increase. However, researchers are trying to convince the population that it is extremely safe.

China currently uses the technology of weather modification

Increased levels of drought and extreme natural phenomena have forced the Chinese to invest 30 million dollars for this technology to control the weather.

China has allocated 199 million yuan (29.76 million dollars) to create technology that wants to control the weather, new technology is part of of drought and natural disaster reduction.

Finance Minister provided details about the project earlier this month, after local media announced that this year's floods have caused 237 deaths. It said the new funds were allocated to help regions in China to better survive extreme natural phenomena such as heavy flooding in central and southern regions and drought in the northwest.

China currently uses the technology of weather modification, including cloud seeding to induce rain during droughts or reduce hail, but also to create a favorable weather during special events such as the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008.

China should use this technology to create over 60 billion cubic meters of water by 2020. A similar technology was developed by a team of researchers from Nevada, they want to control the weather using a drone. Engineers and meteorologists said they had created the first standalone platform that seeded the clouds, it can increase rainfall by 15%.

The machine can create clouds by spraying fine particles of silver iodide into clouds to increase existing levels of precipitation.

Drone engineers and researchers from Desert Research Institute, and the American Drone AviSight allied to create drone incorporating a system of seeding clouds.

Richards, President Drone America, said the project will provide ,, a solution sprayed into the air that can bring people relief from dry areas ''. Although this is the first drone seeded clouds is not the first time such technology is used. Last year in Arizona, plans were unveiled creating artificial rain by spraying the plane silver iodate. The inventors believe that the new technology will help to prevent the worst climate change.

The process of seeding clouds was first proposed in 1940 in the laboratories of General Electric in Schenectady, New York. Twenty years later, Central Arizona Project and Salt River Project have started investigations to bring the project to reality.

Since 2007, the Central Arizona Project has invested one million dollars in research to other countries to increase the water supply from the Colorado River System operates on the premise that rains occur when water droplets grow to become ice crystals.

They become too heavy to remain suspended in the air and often fall melting until they touch the ground.

The water in dry areas can be air, turned into ice crystals in the atmosphere by spraying some chemicals, such as dry ice or silver iodate.

Some researchers worry that silver from the air may lodge in the Basin. Also, they are concerned about how they will decide who can benefit from this project. Compared to other alternatives, such as desalination of sea water, creating clouds is a much cheaper alternative, although it will not only be able to combat drought.
