Why China is actively investing in Belarus

59


In the coming years, China and Belarus are going to build an industrial park twenty kilometers from Minsk. The economic potential of Belarus is often underestimated, and the Celestial Empire decided to take advantage of this. But will the investment benefit the Belarusian economy? And would not the opening of an industrial park threaten the joint interests of Moscow and Minsk?

Search for new partners and hidden threats

Belarus is attractive for investors because it is stable. As you know, money loves silence, so every entrepreneur is looking for a safe haven. The political prospects of Belarus are transparent and clear: it is obvious that in the coming years the republic will not face such problems as the CIS countries.

However, the sanctions regime imposed by the European Union and the United States against Alexander Lukashenko, prevents Western investors. Due to the confrontation, foreign investors cannot invest in the development of the Belarusian economy. Belarus itself does not suffer from this: it has other strategic partners who are ready to support it with the ruble. Thus, those who wanted to make Minsk unpleasant, found themselves in an uncomfortable situation, and are now forced to drool at the promising Belarusian market because of the high fence, which they themselves built.

But the Belarusian market is open to investors from those states that implement a balanced economic policy and do not get involved in trade wars. The Belarusian market, free from the dominance of Western goods, is very attractive. However, Russian investments, despite their volume, are insufficient, and therefore Minsk is looking for new partners.

Fortunately or unfortunately, continental China became interested in Belarus. China plans to invest heavily in the infrastructure of the republic. Thus, a large Chinese-Belarusian industrial park is planned to be built near Minsk. The park will be huge - according to rumors, for its construction is required to eliminate 14 settlements. The new complex will combine enterprises of different profiles: chemistry, biotechnology, machinery, electronics, light industry. The Belarusian authorities have already promised a tax amnesty to Chinese investors in the next 10 years.



The approved scheme of the Chinese-Belarusian industrial park

At the same time, residents of villages and cities offered for demolition will not receive any benefits and privileges. In connection with the expected construction, a lot of unconfirmed gossip appeared, for example, that about 600 thousands of Chinese will be settled near Minsk. This number is not confirmed by anyone: even local residents agree that such rumors are exaggerated. Exhaustive information about the industrial park is contained in the newspapers, and we are not talking about the resettlement of the Chinese.

However, no matter how, Belarusians rightly fear that the new complex of enterprises will harm the environment. On the territory of the future industrial park there are two natural reserves with many unique underground lakes, as well as reservoirs of drinking water flowing into several districts of Minsk. In addition, for the construction of the park will need to unearth several cattle cemeteries, which threatens the spread of dangerous diseases.

Belarus - Laz to Russia?

Investments must be protected - this principle is adhered to by any state that is ready to invest in the development of a foreign economy, otherwise the money will fly into the pipe. Does it make sense to build a factory if the rebels burn it out? Is it worth building a railway bridge if it is bombed?

In Belarus, the risks of losing their own funds are absent. As stated above, the country is stable, and its entry into the Customs Union becomes an additional guarantee of capital security. Thanks to the Russian-Belarusian agreements, Chinese investors, contacting Belarus, are confident that if the republic faces any difficulties, Russia will help it.

In addition, the opening of an industrial park in one of the countries of the Customs Union opens up another hole for China on the Russian market: now the “attack” will be carried out not only from the Far East, but also from the European direction. There is no other market for the sale of goods produced by enterprises of the new industrial zone. It will be difficult to supply products to the European Union because of the contradictions between Minsk and Brussels, and the Belarusian market itself is too small. There is only one option left - Russia and Kazakhstan.

According to former Belarusian presidential candidate Jaroslav Romanchuk, the future industrial park is “a hole in the fabric of the Customs Union.” Relations between Belarus and China are the clearest example of how one country of the Customs Union creates favorable conditions for the activities of a third country that does not participate in the union. As Romanchuk argues, the construction of a Chinese-Belarusian industrial park may hinder the integration of the Customs Union, especially if new Chinese enterprises seriously compete with Russian and Kazakh producers.

Thus, the Chinese industrial complex on the outskirts of Minsk can be considered as a kind of Trojan horse. At first, it may seem that the appearance of foreign investors is a blessing for the Belarusian economy, but if you look at the problem better, it turns out that China is not just investing in the infrastructure of Belarus, but is striving to form its own monopoly that can transform Belarusian borders and spread to all countries of the Customs Union. .

New economic colonialism

The new industrial park near Minsk must be considered in conjunction with the Ukrainian-Chinese project, which deals with the construction of an industrial park in the Crimea. At the same time, the Celestial Empire is strengthening its position in Western Europe: at the insistence of the Monetary Fund and the European Union, Chinese entrepreneurs acquired several companies from the depressed countries of the PIGS group - Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain.

China is also strengthening its position in Africa: here the Celestial Empire stresses that the Chinese and Africans in their time survived the colonial era and suffered greatly from the white aliens. Why should not the formerly oppressed peoples rally their efforts in the struggle against neocolonialism? And this technique works well.

It is possible that, following the Chinese emissaries, soldiers from the Middle Kingdom will begin to arrive in Africa, as investments need protection, and the armed forces of African states are too weak to repel external and internal threats.

However, Belarus is not Africa. Here is an efficient army, a dynamically developing economy, a strong vertical of power. If something happens, Minsk will find support from Moscow. Therefore, Belarus is unlikely to move closer to China as much as it does with Russia. First of all, it is connected with geographical distances, as well as with the cultural proximity of the Russian and Belarusian peoples. But this does not diminish the threat from the Chinese "Trojan horse": it seems that China has found a new occupation for itself, and will do everything possible to squeeze the juice from the Customs Union - its potential rival in Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

        Chinese investment involves the maximum use of Chinese labor. Where 100 Chinese work today, tomorrow there will be 500, the day after tomorrow - 5000 ... Then they will start to marry Belarusians, including fictitious marriages, obtain citizenship and call their Chinese relatives. There will be Chinese shops, snack bars, workshops. This method has been successfully used by the Chinese to create their Chinatowns around the world, and given that the Old Man is constantly short of money, and the Chinese are investing billions, you will have to endure and not annoy the investor. Is such a scenario possible on Belarusian soil? I think that is quite! And how I would not like the appearance of a cancer on the body of the Blue-eyed Republic.

              In China, the cult of ancestors also exists and is revered, and every Chinese, wherever he lives, must not only die in China and also in his small homeland, but also be buried there. Therefore, the Chinese will sooner or later return home to China and no one will drag the old family members to foreign lands ...

    Russian investors often prefer the introduction of Belarus, only with the aim of destroying competitors, as civilized Europe does. Apparently, China, on the contrary, is proposing modernization, and even new production. What is the interest, but the fact that Belarus has gained vast experience, both in science and industry. And the Chinese, with their rationalism, quickly realized that it could be used profitably in the first place for themselves, but Belarusians would not be offended either, because Lukashenko defends popular interests no matter how.

Any normal president who cares for the welfare of the people should take care of the development of the country. Before setting a minus, ask yourself why Russia did not offer Belarus anything like this? who's getting in the way? Everything is just that the leadership of Russia does not need a strong and independent Belarus, it needs a completely dependent, controlled country at hand. We often hear Belarusians brothers to us, and so they don’t do this to the brothers.

          The implementation of the project of the Sino-Belarusian Technopark will allow Belarus to receive an additional $ 50 billion in exports per year. This was stated by the President of the Republic, Alexander Lukashenko, in an interview with the Xinhua news agency on the occasion of his official visit to China, a fragment of which was disseminated by the press service of the head of state.
          "From the moment this project is fully implemented, the country will receive an additional $ 50 billion in exports per year, which will increase our financial stability," Lukashenko said. "This is the most painful issue for our country today. The project removes this problem."
          According to him, "we are not creating a 'park of screwdrivers' here, figuratively speaking, a high-tech product of tomorrow must be produced here, which will go to the market." "The park is focused on attracting global companies with high-tech products, so that we can trade this product in this high-tech market, so that it finds sales and is competitive," Lukashenko said.
          - Official visit of Lukashenko to China
          The President stressed that China will play a leading role in the project. "These are investments of the world's leading companies that operate in China today. These are loans from the PRC. Believe me, this is a recognition of the reliability of Belarus in the eyes of the Chinese leadership, Chinese specialists, and the people," he said.
          Alexander Lukashenko recalled that today China is implementing 20 projects in Belarus for $ 5,5 billion. "The investments are huge. They are comparable, perhaps, only with the Russian Federation," he said.

          I'd add $ 3 billion to the technology park. The Chinese will build a car factory in Belarus ... And we are a nuclear power station ...
          It would be interesting to compare the father's project with Skolkovo. What will be done with us and with them. I mean not a literal comparison, but the effectiveness and justification of the invested funds. We must wait until both projects work. And so of course there is nothing to compare so far ... we have nano-milk ...

      Lukashenka needs to clearly understand that the Chinese need, first of all, technology and "brains", and therefore, if it’s already hot (budget revenues from BelarusKaliya fell sharply thanks to our oligarchs, the bastards of Belarusians planted that pig), then you need to behave arrogantly and not give impudence to the Chinese. you need to clearly understand that the Chinese need technology and "brains" like air and they will go to any lengths to get them. They are still pressing, thinking that the dad will bite in the face of a lack of money. In short, you need to show persistence in defending your interests: China needs Belarus more than Belarus does China.

          As I understand it, I don’t know which Belarusians waited for a paradise life for 20 years of the reign of the only one. We go shopping not only to Ukraine, but also to Poland, Lithuania, Smolensk. Take an interest in salaries of doctors, teachers, pensions. Large and small plants operate at half strength. Prices have been rising for 3 consecutive years faster than anywhere else in the former USSR, and even officially 3 times higher than Russian inflation. Money is taken from people under any pretext - 1. privatization of housing at a very high cost or housing will be transferred to social housing and you will rent it for the rest of the days from the state. 2. The invention of various new taxes (of the latter - on the admission of cars to participate in the movement). 3. The Supreme and his retinue talked about the need to take a fee for visiting clinics, etc.
          And here we are sort of in the TS, but for ordinary people no one noticed the advantages, the warehouses are clogged with products, while Russia introduces either utilization fees for equipment, then again the quality of dairy products does not satisfy http://news.tut.by/economics/ 385456.html

And so it is on our part, i.e. oligarchs in relation to Belarus. What prevents our normal relations with Old Man? And why, seeing such an attitude towards ourselves in our echelons of power, should I surrender my Belarusians to please burry oligarchs? This is nonsense. You Chinese need the experience and science of white people, he found in Belarus. Old Man will not connect himself with a distant country on unfavorable conditions. Be sure to oblige the Chinese to put their goods on Chinese markets. Only without groans about cheap oil and gas, it’s not so cheap. Daddy kept the country from collapse by Shushkevich, suppressed in winter a liberal rebellion similar to the Ukrainian one, holds the western corridor and border, and also feeds our regions.

Before setting a minus, ask yourself why Russia did not offer Belarus anything like this? who's getting in the way? Everything is just that the leadership of Russia does not need a strong and independent Belarus, it needs a completely dependent, controlled country at hand. We often hear Belarusians brothers to us, and so they don’t do this to the brothers.



    I completely agree with the opinion. The leader should and must first of all think about his citizens and the economy of the country he runs. The question of brothers or not brothers is just an emotional question in this case.

    Father is right! It was possible to invest in China and they rose, while China cannot invest in Belarus, this is a threat to independence and the Chinese populating the country and entering Russia. Maybe under Shushkevich this would have laughed, but under Luka, no. The European Union has fenced itself off from Belarus; our oligarchs, apart from theft and banditry, are not able to offer anything. Why does a small country that does not have its own minerals except potassium and peat not agree on favorable terms with China. Old Man with many countries has good relations with which we could not establish a dialogue. The same Georgia, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Iran, our Asian republics. Everywhere I found an approach. A lot of screams about our oil and gas, which is free, but no - it pays. The share of our energy resources is falling, Batko takes from the Kazakhs, Turkmen, South. amerov. How he receives them, in kind or pumping into our gas pipelines at the exit, takes what he uploaded or money is the technique and his business. For the 20th anniversary of the Russian Federation, the oligarchs did not ditch the country and plundered the country and now lick their lips on Belarus. And no matter how they wanted, they themselves shouted about competition, so compete with China. But they don’t want, I can’t, they don’t know how. Belarusians who want Old Man come to us.

    Comments are interesting .... Right now, lovers of an easy and carefree life, and freebies with dreams will be minus!
    My friends practically stopped going to (or to) Ukraine. That small difference in price is offset by the gas station. The laws do not allow to carry wholesale. For the sake of a pair of socks, steamed for 2 days in the car? Rave. and to say that everyone en masse go there to shop - doubly delusional. A small percentage drives, they have found their loopholes and this percentage is not the whole country! But many Ukrainians go here to earn money, because in some places there is NO work at all, but they want to eat.
    The second one. Comrades like to talk about all sorts of nasty things about Lukashenka. Looks like the smartest. One can see two or three higher educations and have an understanding of the economy. Thus, if you put everything on the shelves, they will still find fault with Lukashenka. Because they are the smartest. And explaining the chain of budget formation, deficiency with precedents, and trade balance will not help these downs. They will still say that Lukashenko, and they are the smartest. Examples in the form of Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania do not convince them. Because Lukashenko is so-and-so, and they are the smartest.
    Only for some reason, in the area where I work, the Chinese gave loans at the lowest interest rates. And for these loans we are now paving the way. WE BUILD, NOT CHINESE. Yes, the loan must be repaid, but agreed, they got the equipment there, it (the equipment) works, pays off, earns.
    My personal opinion would be that he would have given such a smart one on a backward collective farm, and would have looked in a couple of years whether everyone would raise his own or not. Then their mouths would be quickly stuck. And then with the language of grind all the smartest!
    Personally, I also do not like much in our system. But where did you see the perfect system? And everything is relative. And I have something to compare. And this comparison is not in favor of some neighbors.
    Therefore, the advice to the cleverest is - before you start talking and screaming about something, wink your brains and look around. If you need a new Ukraine, or Bulgaria, or Moldova - choose another! Only I give 1000 and a little bit more%, that when the new leadership sells everything and really chaos sets in (akin to Ukrainian), the first ... they will understand what they’ll start shouting at, that Lukashenko didn’t sell the country. Ugh, would shoot mra (Z) to her. They don’t value what they have and believe in fairy tales ...
    And I personally do not want a new Bulgaria, and p ... owls under rainbow flags I do not want either.
