(Intern reporter Xu Xian) December 15 night, young teacher Wu di work back to the dormitory, open e-mail, a title for "Presidentialcorrespondence" (Presidential letter) of the Mail immediately aroused his attention. Open the mail and see the signed signature of Barack Obama. Wu Di knows that his letter to US President Barack Obama finally echoes. Worried about Western mainstream public opinion two years ago, Wu di a master's degree in Business economics from the University of Manchester, England, and was a lecturer in economics at a private school in Beijing after returning home. Wu di has been keeping an eye on foreign media such as the Wall Street Journal and Businessweek because of its own professionalism and work. In September of this year, Wu Di was aware of a new trend in these mainstream media reports that blamed China's trade and exchange rate policies for the economic problems of lower U.S. employment. Wu Di found that the majority of Americans also agree with this assertion, he began to worry that this situation will cause the Western media to China's isolation, so that the American people's anti-Chinese sentiment. If Congress were to take further restrictions on China's economy, it would have an immeasurable impact. With that in mind, Wu Di began to think about what he could do. After thinking about it, he decided to use his economic knowledge to prove to Americans that it was wrong to blame the U.S. economic problems on China, and intended to inform President Obama of the results. A letter to the United States, a number of senior officials Wu di login to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S.-China Trade Association, the United States Congressional Budget Committee and other departments and organizations of the website to find their own needs of data and reports. For more than 20 days, he used his spare time to study. At the beginning of October, Wu Di's research finally came to fruition. Through analysis, he drew a 3-point conclusion on the American economy: first, the structural cause of the problem in the U.S. economy is not the trade or exchange rate with any one country, but the perennial low savings rate; second, the growth in American employment is mainly attributable to the development of commodity markets for capital goods and services, The U.S. exports to China are mainly capital goods, and these capital goods flow mainly to China's manufacturing sector. If China raises its currency and its manufacturing sector is hit, America's job growth is bound to be hampered; third, the dollar's position is the strength of the US financial sector and the weakness of manufacturing, leading to a tilt of capital to Wall Street, which is one of the causes of U.S. employment problems. Accordingly, Wu Di proposed that the Sino-US currency war and trade dispute is a blow to both countries. Wu Di his conclusions, wrote a letter to Obama, submitted to the White House website on the president's mailbox link. Wu di also turned to the U.S. Treasury Secretary and the Commerce Minister's mailbox, asked them to transfer to Obama. At the same time, he also contributed articles to the Wall Street Journal Editorial Edition. "At the time I thought I was an ordinary citizen, and this letter may be reviewed by many secretaries and departments, and I wonder if Obama can see it," he said. Civic diplomacy from the moment I was Wu di anxiously awaiting an echo, theThe editorial editor of The Wall Street Journal contacted him by email, expressing his appreciation for his report. October 8, Wu Di's article "The United States Trade war will fail" in the Wall Street Journal A19 edition published. This article published a good response, which let Wu di see the article was read by President Obama hope. December 15, an ordinary Wednesday, Wu Di returned to the dormitory after work, see the letter in the e-mail address of the inscription written "Your sincere Barack Obama," was suddenly startled. Then he read the letter carefully. In his letter, Mr. Obama responded mainly to the problems of employment and Wall Street reform in the United States. Wu Di said Mr. Obama had avoided talking about his proposed trade war with China, which he felt was a matter of secrecy. "I used to think that I was just a grass-man, my views on the world may not have any impact, but for the country to lift the tripod, although impossible, but also to do it." "Wu di his communication with Obama as a civic diplomacy. In his view, civil diplomacy has the advantages of informality and flexibility, which can be supplemented by official diplomacy. He hoped that more people would participate in the civil diplomacy and exert themselves in the diplomacy of the motherland.
