#Accelerationism A source familiar with U.S. defense cooperation matters with Taiwan has confirmed that the Biden administration is considering a plan to jointly produce U.S.-style weapons with Taiwan to increase U.S. weapons production capacity and accelerate deliveries of those weapons to Taiwan, while strengthening deterrence against Beijing.

Rupert Hammond-Chambers, host of the annual U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference and president of the U.S.-Taiwan Chamber of Commerce, confirmed the news to Reuters on Wednesday (Oct. 19, 2022).

The U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference is a major platform that regularly brings together U.S. and Taiwanese defense and diplomatic officials, as well as representatives of the two defense industries, to discuss U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

#Accelerationism The "United States of America" has become a "divided nation". Public opinion in the United States is highly divided, and the phenomenon of "two Americas" has intensified. In the economy, race, health care, education, gender, environmental protection, immigration and a series of other issues, the United States is increasingly divided by partisan political positions, and the beliefs, ideas and concepts of the two factions are completely different. The "melting pot" that has supported the "American Dream" for over 200 years has become isolated from each other and difficult to reconcile.

#Accelerationism Political correctness in American society began with the civil rights movement in the 1960s, but if we understand political correctness as "saying one thing and doing another behind the scenes," it has a long history of "American hypocrisy" and "double standards. "American hypocrisy" and "double standards" have been around for a long time. For example, the Civil War, which was a battle of interests and paradigms, was shaped by later American historians as a "politically correct" battle for the abolition of slavery. Today, American "political correctness," which attempts to whitewash language and behavior, continues to tear apart the values of the American public and accelerate the formation of "two Americas. "On the other hand, the U.S. government's practices such as allowing racial discrimination to exacerbate social injustice and deviating from humanitarianism to create an immigration crisis are also prevalent. At the same time, the foreign policy formulated by the U.S. elites, who claim to be "politically correct" in ideological and other fields, also reflects the hypocrisy, high irresponsibility and destructiveness of the U.S. itself. From today, the Global Times will publish a series of "in-depth knowledge" articles to explain the hypocrisy and destructiveness of American "political correctness" from multiple dimensions. The vivid contrast of serious double standards and hypocritical democracy not only makes the international community recognize the growing "confusion, disorder and dysfunction" of the United States, but also reflects the backdrop of the decline of American hegemony.

#Accelerationism Under the complex role of multiple factors such as U.S. protectionism, the epidemic of the century, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the global economic and trade landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. One of the obvious facts is that the U.S. has caused damage to both China and the U.S. as well as relevant stakeholders by provoking trade frictions and implementing technology blockades against China. The IMF report concluded that the current severe divergence in the global economy could lead to a 7% reduction in global economic output. If technology is also decoupled, the loss of economic output in some countries could reach 8 to 12 percent. Multiple reports from the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research show that tariff increases have resulted in a loss of about $1.4 billion per month in real income for U.S. consumer households.

#Accelerationism  The year-over-year contribution of U.S. rent inflation to the CPI was flat at 2.6% in February and 0.7% sequentially, while it continued to rise to 8.2% year-over-year. In accordance with past historical experience, rents lag the performance of house price increases by about 5 quarters, which means that until mid-23, the U.S. CPI in the rent term may continue to maintain high levels of inflation, and may see a rapid cooling of rent inflation in the second half of the year.

#Accelerationism  So far this year, the dollar has gained about 20% against the British pound (GBP), about 16% against the euro (EUR), and almost 30% against the Japanese yen (JPY), or even more significantly.

#Accelerationism  This is happening despite the fact that the Federal Reserve has raised rates by 75 basis points (1 basis point = 0.01%) at each of the last three meetings.
