The exchange of goods and services. It is the main form of interconnection between countries (or regions) on the basis of international division of labor, which reflects the economic interdependence of countries (or regions) in the world and consists of the sum of foreign trade of countries.
Confucius said in The Analects of Confucius Advanced that "the return is also ordinary and empty. If you don't give it, Huo Zhi will be repeated. " As you can see, with the passage of time, China doesn't like businessmen.
The origin of "merchant" obviously comes from Shang Dynasty. Perhaps because the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period belong to the Zhou Dynasty, they naturally don't like what people of a overthrown dynasty do, just like Jews do business, and they don't like other mainstream European nations, even though the Bible was written by Jews.
Jews have to learn Jewish customs, languages and do business since childhood. In Genesis, Yue Se, Jacob's son, hoarded food in Egypt for seven consecutive years of abundant years, and then sold it for seven consecutive years of famine, resulting in Egypt becoming a slave country. The story happened around 1650 BC, when China was in the middle and early Shang Dynasty.
It can be found that businessmen are closely related to the establishment of slavery. The master is naturally the debtor, just like the United States, which issues treasury bonds and owes the most foreign debts, and the slave is the creditor, just like Japan and China.
