Not a union, but a collaboration. The prospect of a relationship with China

As far as I can judge, it is generally quite difficult to talk about any alliances with China. After all, China itself in my memory never intended to enter into alliances with anyone. He was always, one might say, a thing in himself. Even when he seemed to be in alliance with the USSR, anyway, in fact, he was, as they say, on his mind.

This is primarily a long-standing cultural tradition. China for many centuries in a row considered all countries, of which he knew at least something, his vassals, even if in fact the situation was completely different. It is known that the ambassadors of King George III of England (George William Fredericovich Hannover) received a similar message from the Chinese emperor: we kindly release the king, your ambassadors, and wish you to streamline your affairs in the future, being in constant loyalty to us and citizenship to us. Naturally, in fact, nothing like loyalty, not to mention citizenship, then there was not and could not be.

In addition, China is under pressure from the consciousness of its own abundance. China is such a large country that it understands: for the time being, it can in principle do without any allies at all.

I am afraid that with such a psychology of China itself, other countries are also hardly eager to enter into long-term alliances with it. As for the short-term, situational unions, that is, arising from the current situation, China, like any other country, can join such unions. But here it is necessary to look: and to what extent this union is beneficial to other parties.

I believe that now long-term alliances with China are hardly profitable, because, as in the advertising known now, it “thinks too much of itself”. That is, it may wish from partners much more than it gives them.

So it seems to me that it is unlikely to count on a long-term alliance with China in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, we must bear in mind the possibility of short-term interaction. For him, China is quite suitable, because with all its traditions of imperial grandeur, he understands perfectly well: a particular agreement may be no less advantageous to him than to his partners. That is, I would not count on long-term cooperation with China, but nonetheless I would look for the slightest opportunity for short-term mutually beneficial cooperation. Well, in my opinion, long-term unions can now be purely commercial. For example, if we build a pipeline to China, then such a pipeline may well work for many decades in a row precisely because it is equally beneficial for both us and China.

It is clear that situational alliances are always difficult, always require continuous study of changing circumstances. But in the end, the continuous study of continuously changing circumstances is the responsibility of any sane politician.

    Wow!
    The most important thing here is "that China may want more from partners than it will give itself" - yes, that's right, to the point.
    And in China, after all, now, against the background of economic growth, huge construction projects and "all that", nationalism has grown (national pride and pride in oneself).

      What is interesting has grown in Ukraine, that they have shown such self-awareness! Straight Fire !!! In the literal and figurative sense.

      From the article I liked this:

      As time shows, economic unions are much stronger than political ones.

        So it is true, but they are easily shaken off from them, for the sake of political ambitions. Indeed, the temptation to get resources and territories for nothing is very great among many politicians. China is very actively developing and arming itself. But against whom? Pakistan and India are densely populated, few resources, and also possess nuclear weapons. In Vietnam, too, there is no real benefit to China from the conflict, in the long run a protracted war with heavy losses and a controversial result. I do not believe about the impending conflict with the United States, here it is necessary to build on the possible benefits obtained in case of victory in the conflict. And the benefit is controversial. And even the possibility of victory is excluded here. China has different goals, although they threaten the US. As a result of the war, they will receive real benefits only from us.. We all went through this in the 40s of the 20th century. Germany at that time was almost our best ally and economic partner. And the development went according to a similar scenario. Conflict with China is just a matter of time.hi

          I think no one will dispute that for a successful invasion somewhere one must first have an advantage in military power over the attacked, if possible in all directions.
          To fight the United States, they need air defense, aviation, missiles, and a fleet of foppish sizes (and certainly more than the United States). That is, not soon they will even catch up with America, unless they spread mountains with their corpses, so that the NATO equipment does not pass, does not float, does not fly.
          But they have already bypassed Russia. Conclusions on the face.

              These two phrases do not contradict in any way? Not??? We have no nuclear weapons? Or are we on our knees in Beijing crawling, begging us to take the Far East from us? In general, I don’t imagine how you can hide the preparations for a general offensive with the crossing of the Amur River .... tanks, infantry, mobile air defense systems ... all this must be refueled, fed and maintained ... In short, fairy tales ...

              If not for narcissistic Khrushchev with his envy of the successes of Stalin (which actually pushed him onto the path of de-Stalinization) there would already be a very strong alliance with China, and here this corn-maker comes, spoils relations with China on all fronts, which results in a conflict on Damansky and puts China in the orbit of the United States ....

              What is the difference how many tanks he has, when they still need to be relocated, moreover secretly, and then still force the river several kilometers wide (we already have enough forces to destroy the bridges)
              What difference does the enemy have in terms of weapons and other things, when there are tactical and strategic nuclear weapons for any aggressive attack.

              Those who still believe in the traditional war with China are at least stuck in time.

                And you have it all on the border with China? Or should I also relocate? and what faster than the Chinese will we put together an army to guarantee?

                  For the first time I hear that ICBMs need to be relocated closer to the border. And yes, recent exercises have shown that, if desired, half of the central military district can be transferred to the Far East.

                  Moreover, it would be nice of you to tell about weapons and the number of personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the territory of the Primorsky Territory, so as to add objectivity.

                It’s very easy to cut the lines of communication with the Far East, things are much worse with the supply chain. BAM cut - just spit. Previously, defense was supported by a permanent deployment of troops in the area, but now many units have been deployed to other regions. And China builds roads mainly to the north, and we help him in this by building bridges across the border together. Yes, and pontoon bridges are deployed within five hours.

                China now also has multiple launch rocket systems. And the number of troops in the border strip is many times greater. One T-50 will not cope with hundreds of analogs of the SU-24 and Mig 21. All that we can oppose them is only nuclear weapons. But there is a risk of running into the return line. And from all sides, especially from the west, a howl will begin about the inadmissibility of using nuclear weapons, and our democratic government may well not use it, ostensibly for the sake of preserving peace on earth. hi

                  It would be interesting to see specific figures for the number of weapons and equipment and the actual plan of covert preparation for the attack.

                  And yes, nuclear weapons are a very big problem for China, I would even say cross-cutting, since playing blackjack with Russians is obviously a stupid undertaking, especially when everything is at stake.

                    As many experts note, the troops of the districts are now intensively reducing. Previously, there were two dozen motorized rifle and tank divisions. But soon in the region of the Russian-Chinese border, which is more than four thousand kilometers, at best there will be 20 tank and motorized rifle brigades, about 10 artillery and anti-aircraft units and other auxiliary units, the total number of which will not exceed 100 thousand people. Two Air Force and Air Defense armies cover the air from the okrug - these are about 20 aviation regiments of fighter, assault, bomber and army aviation. But they are not armed with the latest aircraft technology. “If our military thinks that with such forces they are able to resist the Chinese, who can transfer about 500 thousand people to the border in a short time, then they are deeply mistaken,” says Vladislav Shurygin.

Otherwise, we stumble upon a revision of the agreements, as has happened more than once.

                        No, the radius of destruction of TNWs is much smaller, several tens of kilometers, but a barrier will be created for land aggression. This is the only way to preserve the territory without starting a large-scale exchange of nuclear strikes. From my point of view. hi

          ... they are easily shaken off for the sake of political ambitions. Indeed, the temptation to get resources and territories for nothing is very great among many politicians. China is very actively developing and arming itself. But against whom? ...China has other goals, although they are threatening in the direction of the United States. As a result of the war, they will receive real benefits only from us....

          China's goals are simple - to become the core of the future leading global economy, which is now emerging in the Asia-Pacific region. Arms and politics follow this economic goal. As well as social obligations given to the people - by 2050 to become a state of wealthy and prosperous people. Not the richest and greatest, but secured.
          With the stated US mission, as the hegemon of the whole world, this policy and economy contradicts precisely the USA, as well as India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Pakistan, Australia, all those who are afraid of the economic strengthening of China. Therefore, there is potential for the alliance, and it is slowly gathering around the United States for the third year already.
          Around the United States, I will note that in January 2012 the doctrine of "America's Pacific Age" was declared.
          Thus, they are arming themselves not for war, but in order not to merge their chance, not to surrender their positions under simple pressure and blackmail.
          The immediate goal of China is the project of Greater China, or the China Common Market, which will include China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore.

          China will not get real benefits from the war with Russia. The Chinese are well aware that Russia has no way to withstand them in a classic war. The only way out for us is "the blow of the last hope." What China will get is a huge unpopulated area rich in natural resources. But these resources must be mastered, and how and with what. Here is the main thing.
          Despite the huge population and powerful industry, most of this population and industry are located quite compactly. To destroy the bulk of the population and industrial power, all of China’s nuclear weapons do not need to be plowed.
          All that China needs from us, he receives for money, most often for American unsecured candy wrappers, which China has in abundance. He gives us candy wrappers, and receives real valuable raw materials. Why risk losing everything if you already get everything and it costs you almost nothing.

    I fully agree with the author of the article. However, China, even in short-term alliances, most of which are economic, takes exactly more than it gives to an ally (partner). Wasserman speaks of a pipe (gas pipeline or oil pipeline - it doesn’t matter), everything is clear with it, it is a long-term contract, beneficial to both parties. BUT forgets about the many short-term and supposedly small in terms of purchases of our latest technology, especially weapons, which are taken in several copies, are studied by Chinese engineers and then unlimitedly replicated ... So China remains China and in short-term transactions ...
    But about "friendship forever" with the USSR, Wasserman did not say a little (even I'm afraid to correct him). Even V. Vladimirov, being the representative of the Comintern under Mao during the battles with the Japanese and the Kuomintang, in his documentary book "Special Region of China" writes that Mao easily and more than once said in conversations with his comrades-in-arms that "the SSSS for us - this is a cash cow. As long as she gives milk - we will be friends with him ... "
    So there was no friendship as such, and even more so now it cannot even be mentioned. Here is a short-term ally in the struggle to weaken the influence of the States and NATO, an alliance with China may be, BUT !!! However, in this alliance, both Russia and China will pursue purely their geostrategic goals, and subsequently, most likely, they will turn into direct geopolitical and strategic enemies. Most likely, in the future and it will be so.

    The alliance with the Chinese is a fiction, the Chinese despise all non-Chinese people, considering them barbarians and the EU, but do not consider it necessary to abide by the agreement if it is not beneficial for them.
    The ostentatious politeness of the Chinese means nothing; they are treacherous, arrogant, vindictive and vindictive. For them, any European "bok gui" is a white devil.
    In their worldview, the Chinese are extremely conservative, for them China is a Middle or Celestial country, outside which inferior people, barbarians and devils live, and international laws are empty for Chinese.

    A good, balanced, thoughtful analysis of the current state of affairs. A cautious hint of momentary benefits. Where is the forecast? After all, this is his job!
    It seems to me that the situation in the coming 10 anniversary will develop as follows.
    1. The PRC war for the unification of the Motherland (The capture and annexation of Taiwan). The action can be justified by the historical roots, aspirations of the people and other husks. And everything seems to be logical.
    2. After a couple of years, after licking his wounds, provocation and conflict (with escalation) in relation to Japan. Thus, the debts for the genocide of the Chinese by the Japanese militarists in the 40s of the 20th century will be repaid. Both of these options are well supported by the historical grievances and "rights" of the Chinese to a common homeland. The ideological basis is ready. The army and the economy are the same.
    In both situations, there will be States behind Taiwan and Japan. Therefore, China is vitally interested in friendship (neutrality) with the Russian Federation in this situation. Again, the product pipeline from Russia will ensure their independence from sea energy supplies, past the USer fleet. (Signing of a new supply agreement - May 2014 during a GDP visit to China).
    Our position should be simple: business, nothing but business, because an alliance with both the PRC and the United States is equally dangerous in drawing Russia into a big war. We do not need this, because our interests, except for energy supplies, are not here. The conflict will lead to the weakening of our rivals in this region.
    The states will try to drag us to their side, intimidating us with the Chinese threat, possibly provoking another way. The main thing is not to get into a showdown between the PRC - Japan - the USA.
    The emerging situation is seen to me from such an angle. Maybe I'm wrong. Time will tell.

    A good, balanced, thoughtful analysis of the current state of affairs. A cautious hint of momentary benefits. Where is the forecast?


    I agree that Anatoly’s article is somewhat pale today, some kind of incompleteness is felt.
    But with your forecast, Alexander, I completely agree.
    I just want to add that between the leading countries there are no long-term alliances and can not be, they are, by definition, always rivals, but sometimes interests coincide.
    Our joint interest with China is to contain America, to pluck it as much as possible, without bringing the matter to a direct collision, and then "we will have a look" when the Naglo-Saxons are sufficiently weakened, we may not have to beat it, - let's push it aside and move on bully

    The main thing is not to get involved in a conflict with China and to unambiguously indicate the only possible outcome of such a conflict, the Absolute total destruction of the Planet. Russia is constantly drawn into conflicts. Conflicts are not profitable and deadly. The conflict with China will be the last. Therefore, under no circumstances should we fight with China. We don’t benefit either victory, much less defeat. Victory is only possible by destroying the main forces of the Chinese army, and we only have nuclear weapons for this. A nuclear war of this magnitude at its borders, when in such a conflict is inevitable, partners will join in the last stages the winner ... in general, they won’t let us defeat China. They didn’t let the Turks beat them up, they won’t give China either. Germany was given only because they really underestimated Stalin, who at the end of the war had moderated not only to become strong, but also able to repel the Allied strike .China will not let us win. The nuclear aggressor will inevitably be bombarded by the rest of the nuclear club. And we have nothing to fight against China, n Our army will be enough, perhaps for a week, while it will be chased in the seaside taiga, in small groups of 20 million each. Any tactics and preparations will not work against numerical superiority. For China, the war with Russia is just as deadly. Besides, Russia will use nuclear weapons, half the world will attack China, wanting to have Chinese nishtyaks all over the world, and demonstrate deflection in front of the USA. Even the Chinese army will not fight against ALL, the more so the thinning nuclear weapons hacked. Many here speak so confidently about the war with China, such direct analysts. Either with confidence that China will take advantage of us more strongly and will certainly, either from capriciousness, or from lack of thought. China is suicidal to China. China can provoke regional conflicts, taking advantage of the multi-vector interests of different countries. But for the Great War. ..it’s like Hitler in China.

      If you set the world against Russia, it’s not at all suicidal. Yes, they actually need a regional conflict in order to have a reason to enter Siberia and the Middle East. Our European part didn’t give them a fuck. Any conflict with them will only benefit them: they will decrease their mouths a bit (everyone knows that there is an overabundance of the male population in China) and resources are getting worse, and at the same time they will not depend on supplies from Russia.

        And it doesn’t matter to us whether it’s regional or small-town. At the moment, we are not a rival to China, if we are not considering nuclear forces. And what difference does it make for us what we like? What do you say exists in PRINCIPLE, but in isolation from the rest peace and reality. The world is full of power, which is even more beneficial for the conflict between us than China itself. There are no wars between the two states, there are always alliances and beneficiaries. Guided by your logic, China would have Africa and Asia for a long time what else. However ..?

    Purely about the war.
    Fears of the Chinese population are greatly inflated. The distribution patterns of the population, industry and agriculture make China highly vulnerable even in the event of a non-nuclear war, attacks on dams and irrigation facilities in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, in the valleys of which the bulk of the population and food production are concentrated, will lead to millions of losses among the population and subsequent chaos and famine. High population density leads to higher losses. Can you imagine what the loss of transport communications in a million city leads to? Remember the blockade of Leningrad. And there are thousands of such cities in China and they are quite compactly located small territory. In addition, do not flatter yourself
    By the unity and ideological devotion of the Chinese, a true Chinese is devoted only to his family. Not one army can fight without bread and supplies, and this is the weakest link in China.
    So the devil is not so terrible as he is painted. To destroy a million Russians, you need a million bombs to destroy a million Chinese. Thousands are enough. The ratio is clearly not in favor of the Chinese.

      That is, you propose, in response to the Chinese invasion, to transfer our troops to China shtol, so as to spoil communications there and destroy dams?
      Or deliver nuclear strikes against civilians in order to bring democracy to us, besides the Chinese, NATO has come, right?
      And who will press the button so that the rocket hits millions of people and dams? You?

        No need to demonstrate your humanity and wretchedness. Have you ever heard of the existence of bomber aircraft?
        And then, we are talking about retaliatory actions in the case of WAR.
        But what about the buttons? If they return to the army, there’s a knife, but without me, there’s the warand not about liberal disputes in the kitchen or in the Swamp fool

        And the Chinese will carry out nuclear strikes especially against the RF Armed Forces? They don't care who to smash and who to cut. Google at your leisure how they behaved (including in Russia) in the occupied territories. You will learn a lot of interesting things, the "humanities" note ...

          the Chinese will not be the first to deliver your nuclear strikes to you, most likely their troops will simply occupy the Far East. And do not care who they cut it will only after you like a fire on Beijing and burn his family, he and your mother and sister then raped yours and then shot, just to take revenge.

      To the old rocketeer.

      You say I’ll panic and advise you to give mercy to such a big and formidable one, so that it doesn't get any worse. If the war comes, I don’t care if I’m stronger than American or not, we’ll see who is cooler and sell my weakness or not really. I'm talking about whether you know how to fight or not, brave or experienced, it doesn’t matter anymore. But you wave your sword, they say it’s not so scary, etc. Yes, nobody cries out of fear. Moreover, I’m sure that we will succeed in knocking China out. But this is not about that. And we won’t win the WAR. You can win China, but you can’t win this war. And what's the difference that you are brave and tactically literate? I speak with you politely and respectfully not because I am afraid of you. There are many other factors, reasons, motives and explanations for this circumstance.

    Back in 2009, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Wen Jiabao delicately rejected the US-proposed "Bladder Two" -G2 project, the political alliance of the US and China (which is against Russia, it goes without saying). the Pacific region, hoping to create a hotbed of tension there. Nor do they want to leave Central Asia. Not only Iran is here, but Russia and China. For the same purpose, they "flirt with India. I will give some quotes from newspapers, which reflect the reaction of the Chinese, and our vision of a mutually beneficial alliance (albeit not on a permanent basis, but at the moment it is necessary)
    The Chinese newspaper People's Daily published an article with a loud headline: "China and Russia should create a Eurasian alliance." The author of the article points to the hostile, anti-Chinese strategy of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region (APR) and the Middle East and emphasizes the "extremely unexpected" position of Russia, which was not afraid to confront the US military power in Syria and Iran. Further, Comrade Dai Xu suggests that Russia and China merge in closer cooperation in order to jointly confront Western challenges. According to the Chinese scientist, the benefits of such an alliance are obvious: it will be self-sufficient in energy terms; its combined combat power will surpass that of any enemy, and its vast territory will serve both sides gloriously. US ambitions only push Russia and China into each other's arms.
    Such an alliance is undoubtedly a Western nightmare. Central Asia, possibly Pakistan and even Iran, automatically joins it. Obviously, the new union is becoming a superpower, and the United States and Europe, with this alignment of forces, come to an inevitable decline. ("The union of China and Russia - a myth or a real American nightmare?" Asia Report)


    All these talks about China posing a threat to Russia are extremely exaggerated (especially its demographic aspect). The Chinese do not inhabit the territory in this climatic zone. Not populated. There are three or four small pieces of land where one can really talk about some theoretically possible Chinese expansion. Usually, all talk about the "Chinese threat" has American roots - that is, it comes either from the Americans directly, or from specialists affiliated with them within Russia, of whom there are also a lot. Nevertheless, there may be problems with China, and in order for them was not, it is strategically necessary for us to have such a close interaction, such a close alliance that nothing could slip between us. Unfortunately, Russia has not yet matured before this. As, however, and China. And in this matter, the desire and consent of both parties is needed.

    Yes, the Chinas are too introverted to ally with anyone.
