Chinese Russia
“The beautiful is far away” for the Chinese is not at all as far as for the boy Kolya, the hero of the film “Guest from the Future” (and the book “One Hundred Years Ahead”), was far away in the XXI century - with his mylophones, intergalactic travel, cosmos and time machine .
The Chinese have reached a beautiful far, as they say, on their own.
Chinese construction in Russia. It is no secret to anyone that stagnation in Russian construction has begun with 2007, and in 2008, the construction industry has overcome the crisis. Today, in the 2012 year, they build many times less than a few years ago, and of course, they build much more expensively: you pay for yourself and for that guy. Approximately half a square meter of housing is introduced for each Russian per year. In general, there is nothing to talk about.
“In January and February,” writes A. Bashkatova ("Independent newspaper"), - about 6 mln. Sq. M. m housing. This roughly corresponds to the input of housing at the level of 60-65 million square meters. m per year. At the same time, Russia's closest neighbors are showing unprecedented performance. China in 2011 year built almost 4 billion square meters. m housing. In the developed regions of the Middle Kingdom, 10 is being built times more housing per capita than in all of Russia. Such data released by the Association of Russian Builders (ASR).
Russian builders are looking for a way out of this situation. ACP wants to draw the attention of the population and authorities to the Chinese experience in housing construction. As said Vice-President of ASR Igor Derunov, the Chinese can build houses, the cost of which is 250 dollars for 1 square. m - already finished. This is almost four times lower than the cost per square meter, which is officially established as an indicative Ministry of Regional Development. ”
Barriers to the Chinese invasion of the construction market will be removed after Russia's entry into the WTO. And the authorities really want to go there - about as much as you want to be friends with China, listening to songs about “the beautiful is far away.”
“In the case of free entry of Chinese manufacturers into the Russian market, we will quickly get tough competitors to Russian manufacturers,” - says CEO of Penny Lane Realty Georgy Dzagurov. The expansion of Chinese companies can turn into social upheavals: bankruptcies of Russian companies, unemployment, migration of Chinese, and as a result - a decline in the popularity of the Russian authorities.
So, the Chinese brothers will be able to make strong competition to Russian builders. After joining the WTO from the latter, most likely, only the memory will remain. And we will all move to the Chinese prefabricated houses, which are being built for 3-4 of the week. What guarantee is there on them, speak? 12 months?
Just do not say that our bureaucratic barriers, coordination, and so on and so forth will be difficult for the Chinese. It is difficult for us and easy for them. Moreover, in their homeland, the Chinese face much greater government regulation. In the Middle Kingdom at one time the number of sparrows was regulated, not like children. And now the rules have been established even for flies in public toilets (no more than two in one latrine). And you say - bureaucratic obstacles in Russia ... The experience of the Chinese in this regard is large, it remains only to apply.
By the way, ASR has already started activities to attract Chinese builders to Russia. Here is the latest information (from June 12) from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk from RIA "SakhalinMedia" with reference to odnako.org.
Fraternal Chinese builders will rush to Russia through Sakhalin. ASR called on federal authorities to bring Chinese construction companies to the country. The statement of the ASR was published following the visit of the representatives of this organization to China. The members of the association seem to be impressed by the cheap Chinese prefab house-cottage, built from ready-made kits. The area of the cottage - to 300 square. m
In addition, the Russian-Chinese company "New Century", organized with the money of Chinese investors, will soon start producing brick on Sakhalin. The Chinese are already consolidating in the Sakhalin building materials market, although the production will be small: 20 million bricks per year. For comparison: only in 2011 in Russia were the capacities for producing 230 million bricks per year were created. But the first step of all misfortune ... And last year, the Chinese invested in cement production. The plant near Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk began work in the fall.
There are plans and more ambitious than making bricks and cement production at the regional level. Major construction businessmen from China intend in the near future to invest in the construction of hotels in Moscow, the Irkutsk region and in the North Caucasus (Sochi) two, then three billion dollars. Dalian Wanda Group and China Oceanwide Holdings Group, corporations specializing in the construction of shopping and entertainment complexes, five- and six-star hotels, are planning to invest billions in Russia.
Chinese car industry in Russia. Car expansion originates from 2004 yearwhen the first Admiral from the Tianye company was sold in Russia. The release of Chery in Novosibirsk began in 2005, and in Kaliningrad in 2006. In the same 2006-m in Gzhel began to collect the Chinese "Great Wall". The following year, the assembly of the Geely car at the Amur plant was arranged. Two years later, in 2009, in Cherkessk, they started to produce both Geely and Lifan. A year later, the assembly of the Chery typewriter, popular in Russia, started at the TAGAZ plant. And since 2012, the BAW is released in Ulyanovsk. In addition, the Chinese, knowing about the duty-free regime of the Russian Federation with Belarus, are also setting up their productions at the birthplace of Comrade Lukashenko. Geely has already signed a contract with the Belarusian authorities on the assembly of several types of Chinese cars in the BELAZ.
Now, about 240.000 of Chinese cars travels along Russian roads.
No, no one says that Chinese cars have the highest quality. But no one will say that these cars are extremely expensive. In addition, the quality of the Chinese car industry has improved over the years. And autoexpansion of the Chinese in the near future will only grow. By evidence is the expected entry into the Russian car market of a major Chinese manufacturer, FAW. In about a month or two he will start selling his cars in Russia. FAW has concluded an exclusive agreement with Qingrup, which gives the Russian retailer the right to sell and service all models of FAW cars in Russia and Kazakhstan. Over the next three years, Qingrup is going to sell 33.000 machines in Russia. Both our cars and economy and business class SUVs will be sold in our country. Until now, FAW has sold only trucks in Russia that were not very popular.
It should also be noted that the company "FAW" is currently negotiating with the "GAZ Group". The Chinese plan to start assembling their trucks at the facilities of the Ural plant in the Chelyabinsk region.
Chinese students and Chinese diplomas. June 5 in the Russian-Chinese negotiations was signed about two dozen bilateral documents. Among the priorities of the two countries was indicated expanding student contacts. Now about 18 of thousands of Chinese are studying in the Russian Federation, and about 8 of thousands of Russians are studying in the PRC.
Now we are talking about the certification of diplomas of Russian universities in China and Chinese - in Russia. Minister for the Development of the Far East - Plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Viktor Ishayev says: “It is necessary to ensure that Chinese diplomas recognize us, and ours in China. This suits us, because today migration flows offer only low-skilled labor. If we take such industries as healthcare, they have quite good specialists who could work with us, and our engineers could help China. On this basis of complementarity, you can actively work and help the two economies. ”
In the meantime, to Russia are going work mainly those who graduated from high school of the first stage (25%) and high school of the second stage (37%).
Chinese tourists. Tourists from China increasingly come to Russia. Even the cold Russian winter is not a hindrance to them.
Number of tourists from China, rested in Russia in the first quarter of 2012, increased by 25% compared to the same period last year. Chinese tourists took the 2-place according to the number of visits to Russia - after tourists from Germany.
Chinese love for Russia. As the Chinese love Russia, we, even Russians, do not know how to love our Motherland. Guests from China not only love our country, they see it in their own way. Probably, because we, Russians, are able to notice only the bad, and the Chinese optimists remember only the good. With such optimism, the “beautiful far” becomes even closer ...
In the Internet You can find (translated into Russian) reviews about Russia of one Chinese, who visited us many times. Moreover, having spent the last time (2009) in Russia 7 days and visiting St. Petersburg, Moscow, Smolensk and Voronezh, this Chinese, speaking of Russia and China, compares the two countries not in favor of their homeland.
For a week in Russia, the Chinese wrote, he never cleaned his leather shoes; in which he left - in these and returned. Very clean in Russia, like this. No specks of dust or mote.
He was at the same institute (“Gekhalov”), on whose territory free buses run: “you wave your hand - they brake, they don’t ask for documents”.
The student hostel, which was shown to the Chinese, turned out to be at the level of “hotels of the class“ 3 stars ”(as one of our fellow travelers said, even better than at the 3 stars we have). As you enter - a rug on the floor, in the corridor of the chair. Two students live in a large room with two beds, a total area of 50 square meters, there is a toilet, there are mats everywhere, everything is there ... "The delighted Chinese reports that students in Russia live for free, even the lights never turn off:" There is no such a thing as "accommodation". Water, electricity, heating are free, for many students the lights are on for 5-6 years - they are not turned off for a minute, because they are free. Water, that hot, that cold - 24 hours a day. "
True, eating in Russia is a little expensive, a bottle of mineral water or ordinary vegetables is too expensive, in his opinion. Well, this can be understood, because Russians have so much free: “... but Russians live richly: water is free, electricity is very cheap (kilowatt-hour costs about a few fans), gas in many places is also free, in winter there is almost no charge for heating ". Well, and the benefits: “To all elderly Russians who have worked in a real job, the government issues a summer cottage for rest ...”
Finally, medicine. She, as the Chinese writes, is also free: “Treatment in Russia is free, at 100% free, the only condition is Russian citizenship. We very carefully asked, is it really free, you don’t pay a single ruble? all diseases? for all? without exception? Education is free, with the exception of private schools, absolutely free, for everyone, without exception, in any educational institution. They asked, but what about school fees "from the bald," for example? Well, they (Russians) were stupid for half a day, they say - we don’t know, there were no such cases. ”
The police are great guys, polite and friendly, and you can't say that they don't like Chinese people. However, they have one drawback: they do not speak English.
Well, and how after this Chinese propaganda not to strive for Russia? Here are the Chinese and strive.
Why do the Chinese want to go to Russia? Many Chinese go to Russia because they cannot find work in their homeland (40%, according to survey VTsIOM) or looking for a better job (45%). Chinese earn a little in Russia (mostly 5-20 thousand rubles per month), 61% of respondents consider their position “acceptable”. 58% of Chinese help earn money in Russia to their loved ones in China. Most Chinese do not know or know Russian poorly: 43% speaks poorly and understands% of respondents, can be explained - 33%. At the same time, many Chinese complain that they are being scolded and insulted in Russia: 44% on average in the country; 35% in Moscow; 53% in the Far East. However, the Chinese have a good impression of Russia as a country that accepts migrants (there are more positive responses from respondents than negative ones in 3). And the longer a migrant lives in Russia, the better his opinion about Russia is made. 69% of migrants believe that their trip to Russia was fully or partially successful.
The Chinese mainly travel to Russia in order to: a) improve their own lives here (24%); b) open a business in Russia (17%); c) purchase or rent a room (15%); d) expand your business in Russia (14%).
Finally, more than half (59%) of the respondents would like to bring to Russia one of their family members who remained in China.
Chinese criminals in Russia. Yes, there are such. And organized - and even associated with the Chinese intelligence services.
Director of the Law Institute of the Far Eastern University and the Vladivostok Center for the Study of Organized Crime Vitaly Namoknov believesthat Chinese criminal organizations operating in Russia interact with Chinese intelligence agencies:
“This can be confirmed by the fact that at the head of criminal companies operating in our country, there are often former employees of the Chinese special services who illegally transport large sums of money into Siberian and Far Eastern regions, trying to invest in the supply of prohibited goods and services.
It is characteristic that the heads of special services and leaders of various countries, although they do not accuse the Chinese government of supporting the triads, but at the same time have indirect evidence that the intelligence agencies of the PRC use the triads for their own purposes. You should also be aware that many commercial enterprises with Chinese capital that are legally established in Russia are headed by former employees of the PRC intelligence services. ”
Lieutenant-General of Militia, Doctor of Law, Professor Alexander Gurov in this regard notices:
“The Chinese are engaged in the uncontrolled exploitation of the natural resources of Siberia and the Far East and the smuggling of raw materials. They export gold, non-ferrous scrap metal, timber, fish and agricultural products. In the Far East, the harvesting and export of wood.
Strategic industrial resources, agricultural raw materials, valuable and rare wood are leaving for nothing. According to Vitaly Namoknov, only in Primorye, about 1 million 500 thousand cubic meters of wood are illegally cut down every year, largely due to the fact that China introduced moratorium on cutting down their forests. - "Free press"). The Khabarovsk Territory, the Chinese clean up completely, even export chernozem. Much of this business is controlled by triads. They kill and rob only their own, so the local law enforcement agencies are not particularly worried. ”
Ural - Russian-Chinese border in the "beautiful far"?
"From 1991 onwards, - пишет - Vitaly Slovetsky, - China is slowly picking up the territory of the former USSR, - says a number of Russian and foreign Sinologists. As evidence, they cite many arguments. First advised to look at the "demographic map" of border areas.
The Far Eastern Federal District is inhabited by thousands of people 6263, and the territory of China adjacent to it - more than 100 millions. The population density of this territory in 62 is higher than in the Far East of Russia. Finding with such a number of 500-600 thousands of people of working age who can feed the region is very difficult, they say. ”
How many Chinese live in Russia now, it seems to count pretty hard: “According to official data, 40 thousands of Chinese live on a permanent basis in the Russian Federation and 130 thousands come as workers. Some political scientists strongly doubt the objectivity of this statistic. They believe that in reality, we already have at least 3 millions of Celestial people, and their number is steadily increasing. ”
Doctor of Economics, Professor of the Department of Applied Economics of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Igor Nikolaev convinced: Russia is becoming a raw materials appendage of China: “To understand this, it’s enough to look at the share of raw materials and engineering in the Russian-Chinese trade. Moscow is actively promoting the seizure by China of the Far East and Siberia. ”
Head of Analytical Department of the Institute for Political and Military Analysis Alexander Khramchikhin claims: “It is likely that in the foreseeable future there will come a time when there are more Chinese in the Far East than the Russian-speaking population, and they will demand the accession of these territories to the Middle Kingdom. China can and by military means seize this region, as well as Siberia and even the Urals. Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China is a good base for throwing to Kazakhstan. After the capture of this country, the Chinese will take possession of Siberia, the Urals and the Far East. ”
Answering the question "Free Press" Khramchikhin replied: “I think that the country's leadership understands this and believes that the occupation of Russia by China is a guarantee of its preservation.” The government is ready to give the country the Urals, Siberia and the Far East on the condition that they will formally be considered the territory of the Russian Federation. ”
Khramchikhin is echoed by a Sinologist from the Republic of Kazakhstan Murat Auezov, only he считаетthat the Chinese will begin an active invasion from Kazakhstan:
“... A huge number of inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom require living space. By capturing a weak defense of Kazakhstan - with vast steppes abound in oil, gas and uranium - China will get all what they want.
Russia is also a weak country, but it has a nuclear weapon. They will begin to penetrate there gradually, to build different plants. However, they are already doing it successfully. ”
The Chinese will take Russia in the winter. Article "How China Crush Russia" Alexander Khramchikhin writes:
“We must take into account the very high role of the Armed Forces in the political life of China (the main leading post in the Chinese power hierarchy is not the post of general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, and especially not the post of PRC chairman, but the post of chairman of the Central Military Council), as well as practical limitlessness of human resources.
Very high unemployment among young people and the “shortage of brides” make their own high losses during the fighting not only permissible, but perhaps even desirable for the country's military-political leadership. ”
The Chinese, according to a possible scenario designed by Khramchikhin, will launch an invasion of Russia in the winter, "most likely on New Year's holidays, when the multinational people of the Russian Federation, including its military-political leadership, almost completely lose their capacity." In addition, Amur, Baikal and the Northern Sea Route freeze in winter.
The PLA infantry divisions, consisting of poor peasants and urban unemployed, will be captured, according to Khramchikhin, Irkutsk, and will reach the line of the Yenisei. The PLA intervention will be successful because the Chinese “will quickly crush any resistance with the masses”.
And Russia will have to ask for help from Japan and the United States, which in such a situation will turn out to be much more preferable friends than the Chinese brothers.
By capturing the south of the Far East and Eastern Siberia, the Chinese will gain vast territory. They settle on it, forgetting about birth restrictions.
External expansion, according to A. Hramchikhin, is a way of survival for the Chinese. The question here is only in forms and rates. In this case, the military form of expansion is not predetermined, but not excluded. "Her, - notices Khramchikhin - contribute to the worsening collapse of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the peculiarities of the psychological structure of the country's top leadership. It will not defend Russia if it can itself suffer. ”
