US Treasury Secretary Bentsen: China is not Japan or South Korea, the traditional two-country negotiation methods are no longer applicable

​Bentsen talked about the current state of the global economy at the forum, saying that everyone is at a crossroads, struggling with how to control inflation and stabilize growth, and old methods may no longer be sufficient.

​This reminds me of Old Wang from my hometown's vegetable market who sells tofu.

​He always loves to do 'buy three get one free', and the neighbors all say he is losing money, but he turns around and sells the tofu residue to pig farms, making a profit instead. Now Old Wang's shop has expanded into a chain and has started tofu processing. You see, sticking to old routines doesn't work; thinking from a different angle might just widen the path.
