Can't we say that the battle over soybeans is fishing?

Good morning. I saw a morning sunrise this morning, so I took a picture as usual. The color mixing of blue and orange is a color that you would not see so much in artificial ones. I find it worthwhile.

Fish do not seek the bottom of the water or even chase fish that flee, but they get food.¹

Negotiations on agricultural products will begin today between the United States and China in Shanghai.²

In the first place, the import source of soybeans for China is not only the United States.³

1. It is strange to go fishing. The bait is thrown into the water and the fish eats it. However, there are hooks in the bait. It’s a kind of trap.
   It is very helpful for fish to have what they eat in the water. Fish do not seek the bottom of the water or even chase fish that flee, but they get food. For fish, there is no risk and the return is high.
   At this time, there is a risk of loss for the fisher. There are also costs involved in preparing the bait. It is carried out by the fisherman to throw away the spent costs. Even if a hook is installed, the cost is given to the fish free of charge. Fishing is a high risk to the fisher.
   However! As soon as the fish that ate the bait caught on the hook, the risk and return are reversed. There is a risk that fish being pulled to the surface may be deprived of life. The fisherman receives a return of acquisition.

3. In the so-called trade war, the United States put pressure on Huawei products. China has reduced US imports of soy.
   China imports at least 60% of soybeans distributed worldwide. As it is necessary as feed, it must be procured. Therefore, the risk of reducing US imports is included in the return.
   While there is a return for the United States to make trade negotiations somewhat favorable, there is a risk within the United States if exports of US soybeans are reduced. Autumn is the harvest season of soybeans. If there are so many soybeans in the United States after this fall, the next presidential election will be affected.
   In the first place, the import source of soybeans for China is not only the United States. Although quality issues may remain, China also buys soybeans from Brazil. In other words, reducing US soybean imports is not the ultimate risk.
   Conclusion: Can’t we say that the battle over soybeans is fishing where the relationship between risk and return is reversed in an instant?

It is a natural feeling that you want to take a beautiful color in a photo, but what is a beautiful color? At least a beautiful color can not be established with only one color. It becomes beautiful in contrast with other colors. Today’s post is over. Thank you
