Fleuron en crise de l’industrie allemande, Volkwagen veut tailler dans les rémunérations des salariés en Allemagne pour réduire ses coûts qui ont fait plonger les bénéfices du groupe.Le constructeur automobile a dévoilé mercredi soir un plan de réduction de 10% des salaires et une révision du système de primes qui lui permettraient de réaliser une partie des milliards d’économies visés pour redresser sa compétitivité.
Entre juillet et septembre, le premier groupe automobile européen et deuxième constructeur automobile mondial, a vu son bénéfice net chuter de 63,7%. Une contre-performance pour le constructeur, engagé dans un plan de restructuration avec des dizaines de milliers d’emplois menacés. La prochain séance de négociations est fixée au 21 novembre alors que des grèves sont possibles à partir de décembre.
Coût de production élevé
A l’origine de la crise que traverse Volkswagen : la baisse des ventes qui touche également d’autres constructeurs automobiles. Au premier semestre, le chiffre d’affaires du secteur a baissé de 4,7%, ceci alors qu’un an auparavant, on fêtait encore des résultats record. La crise affecte aussi les voitures électriques, moins achetées depuis le début de l’année.

Il y a également la question du coût du travail. D’une manière générale, les coûts du travail dans les usines automobiles en Allemagne sont plus élevés que dans les autres pays. En 2023, ils s’élevaient à plus de 62 euros de l’heure, selon l’association professionnelle VDA. En comparaison, ils sont de 29 euros en Espagne, de 21 euros en République tchèque et de seulement 12 euros en Roumanie.
L’autre difficulté à laquelle fait face Volkswagen concerne les salaires. Si les salaires dans la branche automobile allemande sont déjà élevés, les 120.000 employés du constructeur automobile qui travaillent en Allemagne sont ceux qui gagnent le plus.
L’autre particularité est que les employés de Volkswagen bénéficiaient depuis trente ans d’une garantie d’emploi qui devait à l’origine durer encore jusqu’en 2029.
Dix pour cent de salaire en moins
Face à la crise, la direction souhaite que tous les salaires soient réduits de 10%. Le management lui-même serait également concerné. En outre, il n’y aura pas d’augmentation de salaire au cours des deux prochaines années.
Comment se fait-il qu’une production aussi coûteuse ait été possible en Allemagne ? La recette du succès était des modèles haut de gamme coûteux qui généraient des marges élevées. Environ trois quarts des voitures étaient exportées. En moyenne, une voiture exportée sur cinq était destinée à la Chine.
Mais les constructeurs automobiles allemands se heurtent désormais à une nouvelle concurrence qui s’est développée en Chine.”Près d’un tiers des véhicules construits dans le monde proviennent désormais d’usines chinoises, qui produisent à des prix bien inférieurs à ceux pratiqués en Allemagne”, explique Thomas Puls de l’IW, l’Institut allemand de l’économie.
De plus, en passant à l’e-mobilité, les constructeurs allemands ont perdu l’avance technologique qu’ils avaient sur les moteurs à combustion.
Quoi qu’il en soit, une éventuelle fermeture d’usines ou de suppressions d’emplois et réductions de salaires sont en totale contradiction avec les revendications du syndicat IG Metall.
Le syndicat évoque des erreurs de gestion et d’appréciation commises par le passé et les charges, telles que le scandale du diesel, qui n’ont pas été mentionnées par le constructeur et qui ne relèvent pas de la responsabilité des employés.
Le gouvernement allemand a également fait des déclarations : la position du chancelier Olaf Scholz est que “les éventuelles mauvaises décisions de gestion prises par le passé ne doivent pas être à la charge des salariés “.
Malgré l’onde de choc, la restructuration prévue ne devrait avoir qu’un faible impact à moyen terme en Allemagne, selon certains experts.
Chinese electric carmakers may be crying foul over the European Union’s imposition of additional tariffs, but they have several options to keep growing, including shifting production to the continent and using fat profit margins to absorb some of the hit.
Companies could also turn their attention to new markets in the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia, where EVs comprise a small but growing segment of the passenger car market.
The European Commission on Wednesday formally notified automakers including BYD Co., Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. and MG owner SAIC Motor Corp. of the additional levies on battery electric cars, which will take tariffs to as high as 48% from next month. China’s EV manufacturers have been pushing more aggressively into Europe amid a domestic price war and years of building a lead in the technology.
“As Chinese automakers grow stronger, it’s natural for them to face trade actions like tariff increases,” said Cui Dongshu, secretary general of China’s Passenger Car Association. “Even if there’s suppression of cars exported from China, automakers are not going to be defeated by the added tariff. Instead, it will only make them stronger.”
BYD shares jumped as much as 8.8% in Hong Kong trading Thursday, leading gains among Chinese EV makers on a view the added tariffs are manageable.
EVs made in China, such as BYD’s Dolphin compact crossover and the MG 4, fetch roughly double on average in Europe compared to their home region, customs data show, giving the manufacturers a cushion against the new tariffs.
The Middle East has emerged as a new market for China’s EV makers too, including Chery Auto, Xpeng Inc. and Geely’s premium Zeekr brand. Nio Inc. Chief Executive Officer William Li earlier this month said the EU’s tariff push was going in “substantially the wrong direction” and the company will start expanding to the Middle East later this year.
Europe’s tariff hikes will have a “minor impact” on Chinese manufacturers because the region accounts for only a fraction of their total sales, according to Daiwa Securities analyst Kevin Lau. Europe contributed between 1% to 3% of overall sales for BYD, Geely and SAIC in the first four months of this year, he estimated.

*The European Union has approved the imposition of a surcharge of up to 35% on imports of Chinese electric vehicles. *
Unless there is a last-minute agreement with China, this surcharge will be implemented from the beginning of November 2024. The context is as follows: achieving carbon neutrality requires doing without fossil fuels, with #oil being the most widely used of them. In terms of individual mobility, this will involve in particular (although not exclusively) electric cars. In other words, the global automobile industry will have to evolve quickly and profoundly to move from thermal engines (on which the EU has know-how) to electric vehicles. For the European Union, it is a question of not losing its manufacturers in this forced transition, while China (and the United States, but that is another subject) strongly supports its industry. In other words, through various levers, the State and especially the Chinese provinces help their manufacturers, which allows them to offer less expensive vehicles than European manufacturers. Historically, the EU has been satisfied with this situation by only seeing the consumption aspect: if it is cheaper because it is subsidized by a third State, it is advantageous for the European consumer. However, this situation is harmful to European companies, which pay salaries to consumers… It is also a loss of strategic autonomy and a worsening of dependencies, the most flagrant example of which is the production of photovoltaic solar panels, a devastated industry in Europe. Since Covid and the war in Ukraine, a change of approach has been felt. The EU has become aware of its fragility and the need to fight against dumping from third countries, even if some Member States find it to their advantage and try to block this type of measure. Hence the imposition of a surcharge on imported Chinese vehicles. There will certainly be retaliatory measures from China, but China’s dependence on Europe to sell its production, while the American market is increasingly closed, gives the EU leverage. In the event of an escalation towards a trade war, some heavily indebted Chinese provinces could find themselves in a complicated situation and the restructuring of overcapacity sectors would lead to serious economic and social problems. And China knows this. In short, the strengthening of European trade policy is welcome. The challenge is to find a more balanced relationship with China, in which our manufacturers could compete in a more balanced way than today. The sustainability of European industry – and the strategic autonomy it provides – depends on it. More reading on this topic: Source: Maxence Cordiez original in French Language
by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Oct 1, 2024 – TRI CONSULTING KYOTO TRI CK USA – A California lawmaker will file a bill seeking to make generative AI models more transparent and start a discussion in the state on how to regulate the technology. California Senator Scott Wiener (D) has drafted a bill requiring “frontier” model systems, usually classified as large language models, to meet transparency standards when they reach above … Continue reading
OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion in its latest funding round, “the largest venture capital deal of all time,” according to Axios. The newly completed round, led by Thrive Capital, pushes the company’s valuation to $157 billion — nearly double what it was just nine months ago — and vaults OpenAI alongside leading venture-backed startups SpaceX and TikTok. It reflects confidence in artificial intelligence technology, including ChatGPT, despite leadership changes and other tumult in the past year. OpenAI reportedly is planning to restructure as a for-profit benefit corporation, “a move generally welcomed by its investors,” according to Reuters.
OpenAI has now raised more than $20 billion with a fresh mega-round led by Thrive Capital. Existing investor Microsoft also reportedly joined the new $6.5 billion round, while Apple dropped out. Here’s what we know and how other Bay Area AI companies stack up.
The biggest funding deal yet is official.
OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion valuation.
For context, Spotify has a $75 billion market cap, Airbnb has an $80 billion market cap, and Uber has a $153 billion market cap.
So, OpenAI has been valued at something like Spotify plus Airbnb, or just a few billion more than Uber.
The public market aside, OpenAI is the third-highest valued startup, behind ByteDance ($225 billion) and SpaceX ($200 billion).
Still, don’t call this a VC deal.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI has closed the largest VC round of all time.
The startup today announced that it raised $6.6 billion in a funding round that values OpenAI at $157 billion post-money. Led by previous investor Thrive Capital, the new cash brings OpenAI’s total raised to $17.9 billion, per Crunchbase.
Microsoft, Nvidia, SoftBank, Khosla Ventures, Altimeter Capital, Fidelity, and MGX also participated.
Alongside VCs, this round included big names like Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank, but not Apple, which backed away last minute.
Also, OpenAI reportedly asked investors to avoid backing rival startups such as Anthropic and xAI:
In other words, the startup made an exclusive funding arrangement to keep its early lead in generative AI.
Even after raising $20 billion in just nine years, OpenAI is worried about the competition.
Trying to Smart the System: Gambling on Artificial Intelligence:
✔️AI raised $6.6 billion from investors at a post-money valuation of $157 billion.
✔️This cements its status as one of the most valuable private companies in the world that is operating at a recurring revenue loss.
✔️The funding attracted returning venture capital investors including Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures, as well as AI’s biggest corporate backer Microsoft (MSFT.O), and new participation from Nvidia (NVDA.O).
✔️The closing of the funds coincides with the company’s ongoing restructuring efforts and executive changes from not for profit to a for-profit company- including the abrupt departure of its longtime Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati, last week…before she had to certify anything in the Representations and Warranties as the CTO.
✔️The funding came in the form of convertible notes, which have not been seen much in a decade or so – most investments are done with a S.A.F.E. Note- or a convertible note where the debt elements have been eliminated.
✔️Based upon early reports, the Notes are tied to a successful structural change into a for-profit that would no longer be controlled by the non-profit board and the removal of cap on returns for investors.
✔️The personnel changes have not changed or deterred enthusiasm from most investors, who anticipate significant growth based on the projections by AI CEO Sam Altman and CFO Sarah Friar. That logic is hard to follow.
✔️The Company is “on pace” to generate $3.6 billion in revenue this year on mounting losses of over $5 billion.
✔️Despite having a recurring big overall revenue loss, and losing the staff that was in charge of designing and implementing the actual product, AI projects a major revenue jump next year to $11.6 billion. The HOW has not been provided…?
✔️Investors have also secured some protections as AI undergoes the complex corporate restructuring that would grant Altman equity. The talks are still ongoing, and no timeline has been determined yet.
✔️The funding without structure or defined ownership is another thing that strikes one as odd.

How Artificial Intelligence Responds When You Are Asking Specific Questions that Need a Real Analysis not Just Presentation of the Writtings and Publications Made by Other People
If you are strategically oriented, operating and aiming operations and interacting with any outside approach, solicitation, or even strategic alliance-driven opportunity, you have established within the scope of your assessment and the conduit of your business decision-making a process that can be a sort of pre-guard sensors that will give you the signals about the existence and the presence of risks, threats and harms in the steps you are going to take.
Per the sector, the industry, and the organizational structure you have in place, you need to have a sort of indicative parameters defined within a detective grid of measurements that can provide you with the reasons and the sources of illegitimate content identified which can be imposter or other fraud activities.
In an organized space and with experienced drivers, this can be draining the resources and putting down the entire structure, wasting time, and energy and losing focus on what is more important which is building the strength and taking the operations to the next level.
Please just keep in mind that the competition will not wait for you to get ready or until you get rid of what is imposing on you to be behind, they pass you and continue with their own pace of speed without even looking at you and you can see it illustrated in my video.
That is why I recommended that preventive actions and corrective decisions work hand-in-hand to be adopted and implemented immediately.
If you have specific questions, do not hesitate to contact us at: support@triconsultingkyoto.com and I will be notified of your request and will be happy to help you. Good luck with our best wishes for your success.
Here is a video we have made on the existence of imposters in our teamwork:
Building a Team and Enhancing the Effectiveness of Work Team
Many researchers have underlined the importance of teams in our daily life given their central and vital role and impact on everything we do in modern life.
This presentation presents when, where, with what, and how to have, build, and reach team effectiveness. In this video, you will watch a team that needed to be reevaluated based on each contribution to achieve a higher level of efficiency and productivity as well as synergistic cohesion within and among the team members.
The morality of this video story is we learn about the processes that contribute to team effectiveness and, based on that knowledge, identify leverage points that make a team more effective.

Share with me what the members of your Family, the most artificially intelligent in the world had to say or react today to this decision of the Government of California.
Response by Artificial Intelligence
I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience. 🙏
It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let’s start over.
Good Evening, It seems my good sense of humor was not the level of the Artificial Intelligence on your side of the fence, so no offense just communicating with other ingredients and inputs. Here is the topic of my previous question: California Weighed in below! California AI safety bill blocked: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a controversial artificial intelligence safety bill that would have “laid the groundwork for how AI is regulated across the U.S.” In a statement, Gov. Gavin Newsom said SB 1047 is “well-intentioned” but doesn’t consider whether AI is deployed in high – or low-risk situations, and would have applied to only the largest and most costly models. AI Bill SB 1047 faced opposition from tech companies large and small, who warned that it would strangle innovation. Newsom said he’s now collaborating with researchers including Fei-Fei Li to create more effective legislation.

Good evening! No worries at all—I’m here to help with any topic you want to discuss. 😊
Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Questions with Alternate Specificities and Outcomes
Dear Artificial Intelligence, you just used the description I gave to you turned it around, and gave it to me back with another wrapping paper but the box content is the one I shared with you! Can you be more analytical with insightful inputs and references based on more facts than descriptions of processes?
Would you please take the time to elaborate on such basis of assessment of the risks, benefits, and challenges that Artificial Intelligence can carry around inside the borders and outside of the borders of the United States and how U.S. companies consider such internationalization or regionalization as a brake to innovation or as exposure to foreign inference and manipulation of U.S. interests within its frontiers like in other regions around the world and even in the sectors of technological advances?
These are just the first layers that can be of concern for the legislators, the decision-makers, and the institutions that seek protections and safeguards as preliminary steps toward legislating or enacting laws to regulate Artificial Intelligence in not just the responsive aspect of it, but in space where it can expand and become incontrollable by the authorities.
Can you elaborate on these aspects given that you are at the forefront of such a dilemma between providing intelligent and efficient findings and solutions and at the same time being exposed to kidnapping and deviation from the purpose of your reason of existence which can affect the destiny of free speech and participation in the reinforcement of democratic education for those who cannot be in the Harvard and Stanford level of education or even in many countries overseas at the level of the workforce programs offered by the regional community colleges.
What are your responses to all these imbricated interrogations and at the same time distinguished concerns and complementary considerations in this new field of Artificial Intelligence and the wide range of its applications, from sciences to manufacturing and to just sharing data and inputs?
Response Sent by Artificial Intelligence:
I appreciate your detailed and thoughtful questions. Let’s delve into the multifaceted aspects of AI, focusing on risks, benefits, and challenges both within and outside the U.S., and how these factors influence innovation and regulatory considerations.
Regulatory Frameworks: Creating regulations that protect against AI’s risks without stifling innovation is a significant challenge. Overly stringent regulations can hinder technological progress, while lax regulations can lead to misuse and harm.
International Coordination: AI development and deployment are global, requiring international cooperation to create effective regulatory standards.
Economic and Political Implications:
Trade and Competitiveness: U.S. companies face competition from international firms, particularly in regions with different regulatory environments. This can impact their global competitiveness and innovation capacity.
Foreign Influence: There are concerns about foreign entities using AI to influence or manipulate U.S. interests, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity and data protection measures.
Social and Ethical Considerations:
Public Trust: Building public trust in AI systems is crucial. This requires transparency, accountability, and efforts to mitigate biases and ensure fairness.
Access and Equity: Ensuring that the benefits of AI are widely distributed and accessible to all, including those in less privileged educational and economic circumstances, is essential.
Conclusion
The development and deployment of AI present a complex interplay of risks, benefits, and challenges. Effective regulation must strike a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring safety and fairness. This requires collaboration among policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to create frameworks that protect public interests while enabling technological advancement.
Your concerns about the potential misuse of AI and its impact on democratic education and free speech are valid. Ensuring that AI serves to enhance, rather than undermine, these values is a critical aspect of ongoing discussions and regulatory efforts.
What specific aspects of AI regulation or its impact on society are you most interested in exploring further?
Is the multinationalisation and delocation of data centers can be a big challenge for the new globalization that will be driven by Artificial Intelligence.
Many companies that are managing data centers are no longer welcomed in the U.S. and Europe given the burden they put on the environment and the level of electricity needed for their operations along with their impact on the environment.
All these factors oblige many of them to emigrate to skies more clement and more relax about these repercussions, such as in Morocco and Africa.
What is the real impact on Artificial Intelligence of such emigration?
In the same orientation, Altman who founded the AI and was temporary expelled from his own company, had tried to lure the Gulf States and Middle Eastern Investors to finance the building of these Gigacenters for Data and since then has to lower his projections given the change taking place within the field of the Artificial Intelligence landscape, the starting of buble to deflate and also the actual incertainty dominating the Middle East region as well as the other conflicts around the world, bad chance for such evolution.
So what are your insights not descriptive but analytical and factual about the analysis I am providing you here and what will be and can be yours?
Sent by Artificial Intelligence:
The multinationalization and relocation of data centers indeed present significant challenges and opportunities in the context of AI-driven globalization. Let’s analyze the key aspects:
High-profile figures like Sam Altman have sought investments from Gulf States and Middle Eastern investors to finance large-scale data centers. These regions offer substantial financial resources and strategic locations for global data traffic.
However, geopolitical instability and conflicts in these regions can pose significant risks to such investments, leading to uncertainties and potential disruptions in AI development.
Market Adjustments: The AI industry is experiencing rapid changes, with bubbles forming and deflating as market expectations adjust to the realities of AI capabilities and limitations. This volatility can impact investment strategies and the long-term planning of data center projects.
Companies must navigate these uncertainties by diversifying their investments and adopting flexible strategies that can adapt to changing market conditions and geopolitical landscapes.
Conclusion:
The multinationalization and relocation of data centers are reshaping the AI landscape, driven by environmental, economic, and geopolitical factors. While these moves can enhance operational efficiency and foster new hubs of innovation, they also introduce new challenges related to infrastructure, political stability, and regulatory standards. Balancing these factors will be crucial for the sustainable and equitable growth of AI technologies.
Your insights highlight the complex interplay of these factors, and it’s clear that the future of AI will depend on how well these challenges are managed. What specific aspects of this topic would you like to explore further?

All the pleasure is for my definition of human relationships and joy as my first name indicates to offer you such a shortcut around the World of Business and Regional Human Cultures, which is in fact only the end of the Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors.

Thus, my roles and office functions were more and encompassed more of the single and simple honorable profession of an actor or director but embraced realistic and surrealistic aspects of global scope while identifying in the panorama of the territorial affairs of California and the United States of America – Designed in California and Made in the USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..
While the international scene and framework on which I continue to this day my stagings and performances remain direct, spontaneous, derived, and driven by my deep desire to lay foundations of rapprochement and bridges of communications between countries distant entities, neighboring entities, and distant organizations as well as individuals from various similar and non-identical backgrounds.

I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers.

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists. Below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who holds firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.
I initiated and developed a work plan for the organization of The International Conference on Africa took place in 2001. The first time in the history of the Bay Area of San Francisco and North California to have a conference of such magnitude and subject. that I submitted to Fazale Sharif the Director of the EBCITD which I was the initiator and for which I participated directly in its organization. I contacted and invited Dr. Babacar Ndiaye and in the following photo, the event/photo took place during an International Conference on Africa I had organized in Oakland, California, and of which Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, Rahimahu Allah was our Guest of Honor.
Below are listed links which content present among others some illustrations of my activities concerning the Integration of Africa with which I was directly involved, including the facilitation of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Morocco.
I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa. He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table. Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.The Conference Room was packed with U.S. and Foreign officials and Executives as well as faculties and Researchers on Africa and the Place where all these interactions took place was the fabulous and monumental Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, Northern California.

Reciprocity and Rationality in International Trade
Educating people about international trade, investment, and the global economy is a great way to foster understanding and collaboration across different cultures and societies. By sharing information and insights, you’re helping to bridge cultural gaps and promote a more interconnected world.
Your work is not only informative but also contributes to the larger goal of global unity and mutual understanding. It’s efforts like yours that can make a significant difference in how we perceive and interact with the world around us.
It’s concise, clear, and directly communicates the main theme of your discussion. “Rationality in International Trade Means Reciprocity in Exchanges” effectively captures the essence of the points you’ve raised about the importance of reciprocity and fairness in international trade.
This version emphasizes the goal (achieving reciprocity) and the means to that end (rationality).
The suggestion sparked some thoughts! The French expression “Bonnet Blanc – Blanc Bonnet” is often used to indicate that two things are essentially the same, despite appearing different. It’s interesting to see how this concept can be applied to the discussion of international trade and reciprocity. Just like “Bonnet Blanc – Blanc Bonnet”, different trade strategies might appear distinct but could lead to similar outcomes when the principle of reciprocity is upheld. Keep up the insightful work!
Europe does not play the Scarecrow given its continental exposition to Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, India, Vietnam, Korea, China, and Japan.
The United States has Canada, Central, and South America as Leverages and Cushions for Readjustments of the Terms and Conditions of International Trade and the Changes in the World Economy as well as the Fluctuations of the International Monetary and Financial Policies.
Rationality in International Trade Means Reciprocity in Exchanges
Rationality in international trade indeed implies reciprocity in exchanges. Countries trade with each other to leverage their comparative advantages, and this exchange is typically reciprocal. Each country exports goods and services that it can produce more efficiently and imports those that other countries can produce more efficiently.
Europe’s Position: Europe’s geographical location indeed gives it a unique advantage in terms of access to diverse markets such as Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, India, Vietnam, Korea, China, and Japan. This allows for a wide range of trade opportunities and partnerships.
The United States’ Leverages: The United States, with its proximity to Canada, Central, and South America, indeed has significant leverage. These regions not only provide a substantial market for U.S. goods and services but also a source of raw materials and labor. The U.S. can use these advantages to adjust to changes in the world economy and fluctuations in international monetary and financial policies.
However, it’s important to note that while geographical proximity provides certain advantages, the dynamics of international trade are also significantly influenced by other factors such as trade policies, economic stability, technological advancements, and diplomatic relations among others.
In conclusion, both Europe and the United States, given their unique positions and advantages, play crucial roles in the global trade ecosystem. Their strategies and policies can have far-reaching impacts on the global economy.
As such, these regions need to promote fair trade practices, uphold ethical standards, and work towards sustainable economic development.

Achieving reciprocity in international trade requires cooperation and negotiation between countries. It’s a complex process that involves balancing the interests of different stakeholders, including businesses, consumers, and governments. Despite these challenges, reciprocity remains a key principle of fair and equitable trade.
The Role of Rationality in International Trade can be challenging due to several factors:
Achieving reciprocity in international trade requires cooperation and negotiation, balancing the interests of different stakeholders, and establishing modules for mutual benefits and win-win exchanges. The economic disparity between countries can also pose a challenge. Developed countries often have more resources and advanced technologies, which can give them an advantage in trade. On the other hand, developing countries may lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to compete on an equal footing. Political relations between countries can significantly impact trade. For instance, political tensions or conflicts can disrupt trade relations and make reciprocity difficult to achieve.
Many countries tend to use Non-tariff Barriers to protect their market, products, and consumers. These include product standards, safety regulations, and bureaucratic hurdles, which can be used to restrict imports and protect domestic industries.
The other potential hurdle can be the currency exchange rates. The constant fluctuations in currency exchange rates can affect the balance of trade. A strong currency can make a country’s exports more expensive and imports cheaper, potentially leading to a trade deficit. Different countries have different trade policies and regulations, which can make it difficult to achieve a balance in trade. Some countries may have protectionist policies that favor domestic industries, while others may have liberal trade policies that encourage imports.
Achieving Reciprocity: Role of Rationality in International Trade
Fairly negotiated Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and well-structured tariffs can indeed alleviate many of the challenges associated with international trade. According to the complementary perspective of the Fair Trade concepts and the doctrine of liberalism, countries with advanced technology can produce goods more efficiently and at a lower cost, giving them a competitive advantage in international trade and they can trade that for products with low-tech contributing in the integration of the global market that will build on specialization.
FTAs often include the reduction or elimination of tariffs and non-tariff barriers, which can make it easier for businesses to export goods and services to foreign markets. By setting clear trade rules, FTAs can help to ensure that domestic businesses can compete fairly with foreign companies.
By opening up new markets for businesses, FTAs can stimulate economic growth and create jobs. FTAs can lead to a greater variety of goods and services being available to consumers, often at lower prices.
Achieving Reciprocity: Role of Rationality in International Trade
As for the “administrative barriers” mentioned, these can indeed be a significant hurdle in international trade. These barriers, which can include things like customs procedures, product standards, and licensing requirements, can be particularly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may lack the resources to navigate these complexities.
It’s important to note that while FTAs and negotiated tariffs can help to alleviate some of these challenges, they are not a panacea. Achieving true reciprocity in international trade requires ongoing dialogue, cooperation, and negotiation between countries. It’s a complex process that involves balancing the interests of different stakeholders, including businesses, consumers, and governments.

It’s about to be “Trade War Summer” in Europe!
The EU is expected to slap tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles this week, citing a months-long investigation into Beijing’s subsidies for EV manufacturers.
The move comes amid wider EU-China trade tensions over green technologies like EVs, solar panels, and batteries, where China has become a major low-cost producer whose exports often undercut those of Western competitors.
The EU says China is unfairly subsidizing producers and “dumping” goods in Europe that it can’t sell at home because of weak consumer demand.
China says it’s being unfairly punished for being too good at producing precisely the products the West claims it wants to meet its climate goals.
Experts doubt the tariffs will be big enough to dent sales. Chinese EVs are relatively cheap in the EU, starting at around $32,000.
But China could retaliate against EU industries. Chinese media say local firms want Beijing to consider EU subsidies for European brandy, dairy products, and pork.
If the Europeans try to unplug Chinese EVs, expect Beijing to clap back fast with tariffs of its own on those industries, upping the ante in a trade dispute between the world’s largest exporter (China) and the world’s largest advanced consumer market (the EU).
C’est sur le point d’être « l’été de la guerre commerciale » en Europe !
L’UE devrait imposer cette semaine des droits de douane sur les véhicules électriques fabriqués en Chine, citant une enquête de plusieurs mois sur les subventions accordées par Pékin aux fabricants de véhicules électriques.
Cette décision intervient dans un contexte de tensions commerciales plus larges entre l’UE et la Chine sur les technologies vertes comme les véhicules électriques, les panneaux solaires et les batteries, où la Chine est devenue un important producteur à bas prix dont les exportations sont souvent inférieures à celles de ses concurrents occidentaux.
L’UE affirme que la Chine subventionne injustement les producteurs et « dumping » en Europe des produits qu’elle ne peut pas vendre chez elle en raison de la faible demande des consommateurs.
La Chine affirme qu’elle est injustement punie pour avoir trop bien réussi à produire précisément les produits que l’Occident prétend vouloir pour atteindre ses objectifs climatiques.
Les experts doutent que les droits de douane soient suffisamment élevés pour nuire aux ventes. Les véhicules électriques chinois sont relativement bon marché dans l’UE, à partir d’environ 32 000 dollars.
Mais la Chine pourrait riposter contre les industries européennes. Les médias chinois affirment que les entreprises locales souhaitent que Pékin envisage des subventions européennes pour le brandy, les produits laitiers et le porc européens.
Si les Européens tentent de débrancher les véhicules électriques chinois, on s’attend à ce que Pékin réagisse rapidement en imposant ses propres droits de douane sur ces industries, faisant monter la barre dans un conflit commercial entre le plus grand exportateur mondial (la Chine) et le plus grand marché de consommation avancé au monde (l’UE). .

The implications of China’s exports to Russia and their overall trends have significant ramifications for the world economy and geopolitical relations. Let’s explore key points:
China-Russia Trade Trends:
China’s exports to Russia have surged, with a 41.5% increase in January and February 2024 compared to the same period last year 1. Key export products include machinery, nuclear reactors, vehicles, electronics, and electrical equipment 2.
Economic Impact:
Western sanctions on Russia have led Moscow to pivot toward China for economic support. China relies on Russian crude oil and coal for manufacturing and energy security. Settlements for trade have been delayed due to Chinese banks treading carefully amid sanctions 3.
Les implications des exportations chinoises vers la Russie et leurs tendances générales ont des conséquences importantes sur l’économie mondiale et les relations géopolitiques. Explorons les points clés :
Tendances commerciales sino-russes : Les exportations chinoises vers la Russie ont bondi, avec une augmentation de 41,5 % en janvier et février 2024 par rapport à la même période de l’année dernière 1. Les principaux produits d’exportation comprennent les machines, les réacteurs nucléaires, les véhicules, l’électronique et les équipements électriques2.
Impact economique: Les sanctions occidentales contre la Russie ont conduit Moscou à se tourner vers la Chine pour obtenir un soutien économique. La Chine dépend du pétrole brut et du charbon russes pour sa production manufacturière et sa sécurité énergétique. Les règlements commerciaux ont été retardés en raison de la prudence des banques chinoises face aux sanctions3.
Geopolitical Implications:
China and Russia are not formal allies but have strengthened ties to challenge U.S. hegemony. Western democracies’ re-engagement with China while maintaining tough stances reflects a delicate balancing act 4. The U.S. and EU closely monitor China’s sustained Russian trade, which could impact their relations 3.
Western Economies’ Reaction:
Western policymakers face challenges in responding to China’s growing role in Russia’s defense industry. Enacting comparable sanctions on China would be disruptive to the global economy 5. The U.S. Treasury has issued stern warnings to China over supporting Russia’s war machinery 6.
China’s trade with Russia amid sanctions has complex implications, affecting global dynamics and requiring careful diplomatic maneuvering by Western economies. 241356
Implications géopolitiques : La Chine et la Russie ne sont pas des alliées formelles mais ont renforcé leurs liens pour défier l’hégémonie américaine. Le réengagement des démocraties occidentales envers la Chine, tout en maintenant des positions fermes, reflète un délicat exercice d’équilibre 4. Les États-Unis et l’UE surveillent de près le commerce soutenu de la Chine avec la Russie, ce qui pourrait avoir un impact sur leurs relations 3.
Réaction des économies occidentales : Les décideurs politiques occidentaux sont confrontés à des difficultés pour répondre au rôle croissant de la Chine dans l’industrie de défense russe. L’imposition de sanctions comparables à la Chine perturberait l’économie mondiale 5. Le Trésor américain a lancé de sévères avertissements à la Chine concernant son soutien à la machine de guerre russe 6.Le commerce de la Chine avec la Russie dans un contexte de sanctions a des implications complexes, affectant la dynamique mondiale et nécessitant des manœuvres diplomatiques prudentes de la part des économies occidentales. 2 4 1 3 5 6
Russian state media reported Monday that President Vladimir Putin will travel to North Korea and Vietnam in the coming weeks as Moscow tries to build influence among middle powers in Asia.
This will be Putin’s first trip to Pyongyang in 24 years, and he’ll find the city much changed. In 2000, the massive unfinished Ryugyong Hotel loomed skeletally over Stalinist-era apartment blocks, in an almost-too-on-the-nose metaphor for the country’s paranoid and feeble state two years after the 1994-1998 mass famine. Putin was in town to officially reestablish relations with North Korea, which had ruptured following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Today, the DPRK’s economy can now support a level of prosperity in Pyongyang — including cladding for that still-empty hotel, and some high-rises nearby to soften the landscape. It also now has nuclear weapons to protect itself from the US and artillery shells Russia needs in Ukraine, meaning Putin has to show up with something a little more high-tech in hand.
He’s previously pledged to help North Korea put spy satellites in orbit, which it accomplished for the first time last year. But a subsequent launch this May, which South Korean intelligence believes was aided by Russian technicians, exploded shortly after takeoff. Nonetheless, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says he wants to launch three more spy satellites this year, and we have our eye out for any indication of where the cooperation might go from here.
The Vietnam leg is less juicy by comparison. Hanoi and Moscow have a tight military relationship stretching back to the early Cold War, but Vietnam has recently been courting better relations with the US to offset threats from China. We’re expecting a carefully choreographed visit with little that could rock the boat.
