Source refs: `video:interview-p5gg9xxbqze@transcript:v1#seg-0012` - diagnosis: Jiang argues that the underlying American demand is not just tariff relief but Chinese financial-market liberalization and higher Chinese consumer spending to help absorb Western output and debt. Source refs: `video:interview-l9heow1syg0@transcript:v1#seg-0028`, `video:interview-l9heow1syg0@transcript:v1#seg-0029` - model: Jiang argues that the old US expectation behind China's WTO integration was that China would eventually liberalize financially and produce a consumer class willing to buy more American goods. Source refs: `video:interview-hzix1hy8hr0@transcript:v1#seg-0008` - diagnosis: He argues that the United States is applying pressure in Venezuela precisely because China does not want to liberalize its financial markets on American terms. Source refs: `video:interview-hzix1hy8hr0@transcript:v1#seg-0012` - model: He argues that the American economy is now structurally exhausted because consumers have maxed out their credit cards, so Washington wants Chinese consumers to absorb the burden by spending more and liberalizing Chinese finance. Source refs: `video:interview-p5gg9xxbqze@transcript:v1#seg-0012` - definition: Jiang says China refuses that demand because liberalizing finance on American terms would mean surrendering sovereignty.
