The face value of the world's financial center still exists.

When several old financial institutions were busy issuing apology statements, the abnormal performance of the US stock market finally spread to the whole world.

Yes, the US stock market plummeted, directly collapsing the fragile markets of nearly all allies who have shared common values with the United States.

The logical chain is very clear. As the leader in global technology, if the stocks of American tech companies have already started to crash, what reason do those followers have to still hold high valuations?

Correspondingly, as a safe-haven asset, gold and almost all other precious metals in the futures market, resources, and even food prices started to soar crazily. Many people seemed to realize the crisis of the US Dollar, and were almost desperately spending it.

At the same time, the price of Huaxia's RMB in the offshore market was driven to sky-high levels.

Even though the RMB is still in a significant rate cut cycle, from an investment perspective, holding large amounts now is very inappropriate. But there's no choice, too many people are scrambling for chips. Naturally, the price has gone up as a result.

Especially compared to the foreign currency market, the scale of the offshore RMB market is actually very small. It's only because of the emergence of super materials and the development of artificial intelligence in the past two years that many large foreign companies have consciously started to make some RMB reserves in cross-border trade.

Even so, two hours after the US stock market crash, the Dollar-denominated RMB exchange rate had already soared to 1:6.355.

One must know that five hours ago the exchange rate was still 1:7.121, which means that in five hours the RMB exchange rate appreciated by 12.05%, a rate of increase that is really rare since the international monetary system appeared.

You cannot even say the US Dollar is plummeting.

Because apart from the RMB, there weren't actually any significant fluctuations in the US Dollar against other major world trading currencies, at least not ones that are incomprehensible.

In a sense, this has already shown that the RMB has unknowingly replaced the US Dollar and become one of the safe-haven assets chased by capital.

Not only that, the transmission from the US is not only an abnormality in the financial market but also a loosening of so-called common values.

Yes, it's not just the US stock market that is affecting the world, the US media is also influencing the world.

Let's put it this way, when CNN and FOX, media absolutely mainstream in the US homeland, have already started crazily flattering Huaxia, what should the likes of Agence France-Presse, BBC, The Guardian do?

We all agreed on common values, but before we even had our materials ready, you guys already changed the whole propaganda tone?

Anyone with good sense can see that their boss intends to kneel first out of respect, but damn, this kneeling was so sudden that they simply couldn't react in time.

They even couldn't kneel down in the same posture in time.

So soon a French commentator known for his sharp remarks directly wrote an unceremonious tweet.

"Please do not mock the speed of France's surrender in the future. You must admit one thing, when France surrendered, Germans were indeed already standing on French soil.

As far as I know, what's currently walking on US soil are mostly beings described by Huaxia as 'Run People', or sea robots that can chat? And as you've seen, they've already raised their hands and decided to comply with whatever demands the future may bring!"

This comment cannot simply be described as sharp, it's even spiteful, very easily making people lose their defenses.

Not to mention, this is France, a once-standard ally, considered one of their own.

You can endure enemies' cold sarcasm, but such treachery from one's own is indeed excessive. Especially when the Eastern major power across the sea hasn't uttered a word.

The main party hasn't even said anything, and you guys have the nerve to jump up?

Never underestimate the combat power of the likes of CNN and FOX.

Starting positive publicity for a certain Eastern country, such forced deference doesn't mean that Old Europe is qualified to point fingers at them from the side.

Some people may have forgotten who saved them from dire straits back in the day. Of course, they also know exactly how to deal with such backstabs in propaganda from allies.

"I've always believed that no one in this world understands how to raise both hands gracefully better than the French. That kind of romantic temperament is unmatched by any country in the world!"

"Many people might have forgotten why the streets of Paris are lined with trees? Let me enlighten you, it's so that Germans can march in the shade."

"Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to change a light bulb? The answer is one! Because he will hold the bulb while waiting for the whole world to revolve around him, as if he already possesses the sun!"

...

If the American reaction was still somewhat subtle, when the former Empire Where the Sun Never Sets joined in, the public debate became even more lively.

For instance, a certain famous UK commentator left a classic remark at the end of his article: "How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? Nobody knows because it's never been tried."

"I don't allow you to mock France! Do you know how many civil wars there have been in French history? Nine very important ones, from the feudal rebellions in the Capetian Dynasty to the Algerian War! God knows how much effort they've put in to occasionally win even once!"

...

The nation known as the troublemaker never disappoints in its reputation.

Especially given that quite a few countries in Europe are actually not fond of the troublemaker.
