China is a virtual ally


As is known, in March 2014 of the year, after the annexation of the Crimea to the Russian Federation and the introduction of Western countries of sanctions against Russia, Moscow was counting on support, primarily from Beijing, and support both economic and political. The Kremlin had similar calculations due to further developments - the conflict in the Donbas, the beginning of the Russian military operation in Syria, and the confrontation between Moscow and Ankara. Actually, the whole "turn to the East" meant, first of all, the next "fraternity forever" with Beijing.

SANCTIONS ON THE FACT

All these hopes of Moscow were completely not justified. She received no real political support from Beijing. In the course of all voting in the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly on the Crimea and the conflict in Ukraine, China invariably abstained, as do a few dozen other countries. China has not legally joined the sanctions against Russia, but this cannot be considered as support. The fact is that certain sanctions against the Russian Federation were imposed by the United States, Canada, EU countries, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Montenegro, Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, Georgia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand. In total, these are 42 countries from 192 countries - members of the UN, that is 21,88% of recognized states of the world. Thus, China was only among the 150 countries (or 149, if we exclude Russia itself), which preserved their previous relations with Russia.

The preservation of the previous relations can hardly be considered support, especially since more than three-quarters of the countries of the world, including, in particular, such close allies of the United States as the Republic of Korea and Israel, turn out to be such "supporters". The same can be said about the arrival of Xi Jinping to celebrate the 70 anniversary of the Victory in Moscow, since there came a significant number of foreign leaders, including those from EU countries.

Moreover, of all the states that have not legally imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation, China has become, in fact, the only country that actually introduced them. Beijing recommended that Chinese enterprises with state participation not cooperate with Crimean companies and not participate in any agreements or projects in the Crimea, and also repeatedly refused to accept official Russian delegations from Crimea or representatives of Crimea as part of wider Russian delegations. Chinese banks (with the exception of the state Eximbank and Development Bank) de facto joined the sanctions against Russia and began to evade issuing loans to Russian banks and other economic entities or sharply tightened the conditions for issuing such loans. In addition, many Russians were forced to close accounts in Chinese banks. At the same time, China retained all relations with Ukraine in the same volume.

The trade turnover between the Russian Federation and the PRC declined by two years in two years, although Moscow was counting on its significant growth. Apart from the well-known gas agreement, whose fate is still not completely clear, there are still no major joint contracts between the two countries, as well as the expected flow of investments from China to Russia. Moreover, taking advantage of the economic problems of Russia, Chinese economic agents only tighten their negotiating positions with their Russian partners, although these positions have always been very tough.

Relations in the sphere of military-technical cooperation are also quite difficult to develop. In particular, the negotiations on the sale of Su-35С fighters for the PLA Air Force only this year ended with the signing of a relevant contract, but it has not yet entered into force, since it has not been ratified by either the Russian or the Chinese side. In any case, this year the contract implementation will not start any more, especially since the Russian Defense Ministry signed a contract for the supply of additional 50 Su-35С to the Russian Air Force, which will load the production capacity of the plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The situation with the contract for the supply of a C-400 AAMS system to China is completely unclear, there is not even complete certainty that it was actually signed. However, in this case, the delay with the signing and implementation of contracts can, perhaps, only be welcomed.

AND AGAIN NO SUPPORT

Russia did not receive the slightest support (even verbal) from China in connection with the situation in Syria and the Middle East in general. China distances itself as much as possible from expressing its position in relation to the parties fighting in Syria, without even rendering any symbolic assistance to Assad and his supporters. Moreover, in fact, Beijing is now acting on the opposite side. This became completely clear after Xi Jinping’s trip to the Middle East (visits to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran) this year. The President of the PRC quite clearly expressed his political support for Saudi Arabia, one of Assad’s main opponents. He supported the Saudi “fight against terrorism” (which is extremely funny in itself: Riyadh against terrorism is just like “bees against honey”) and the intervention in Yemen, during which the Saudis and their allies killed up to 10 thousand. civilians with, to put it mildly, insignificant military successes. The negotiations of Xi Jinping in Tehran, which is one of the main allies of Damascus and the Yemenite Hussites, boiled down to economic issues. During a speech to representatives of the Arab League in Cairo, Xi Jinping condemned any foreign military intervention in the affairs of the Middle East, apparently bearing in mind the Russian operation in Syria. The only Russian action in Syria that China has welcomed is the conclusion of the main body aviation groupings in March 2016, which in the context of his position is quite natural.

Moreover, at the time of maximum exacerbation of relations between Moscow and Ankara after the destruction of the Russian Su-16 bomber by the Turkish F-24 fighter, Beijing announced the construction of a transport corridor bypassing Russia through the Silk Road project through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Of Ukraine. This path is longer than through Russia, while it is extremely inconvenient because of the need to cross the Caspian and Black Seas. In addition, it passes through conflict zones in the South Caucasus and Central Asia. Nevertheless, Beijing is very actively developing it. Thus, there is either a direct challenge to Moscow, or a complete demonstrative disregard of its interests.

KOREAN ISSUE

A rather peculiar situation is developing now with respect to the DPRK nuclear program. In fact, now there is a collusion between Washington and Beijing to overthrow the regime in Pyongyang through its economic collapse (therefore, they developed a draft resolution of the UN Security Council with a sharp tightening of sanctions against the DPRK jointly). At the same time, both Washington and Beijing hope after this to put North Korea under their complete control, that is, after the overthrow of Kim Jong-un, the interests of the United States and the People's Republic of China will become opposite, but until that moment they coincide. Moscow is categorically not interested in such a development of events, but it was not ready to single-handedly veto the UN Security Council resolution on sanctions against North Korea (although it tried to delay its adoption). Perhaps this is the biggest foreign policy mistake of Moscow in recent years. It was doubly unacceptable to vote for this resolution because Russia itself is under illegal sanctions. And constantly says that any sanctions are generally counterproductive. With regard to the Korean problem, this is completely true, but for some reason in this case Moscow has forgotten about its own statements. At the same time, it is obvious that the sanctions will only lead to a further tightening of the position of Pyongyang, which is already happening in reality.

TEST TIME

Interestingly, before his visit to Moscow in March of this year, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at the session of the NPC that the relations between China and Russia “could well withstand any test of the international situation,” there is reason to believe that “the general trend towards all-round development of China’s “Russian cooperation cannot change under the influence of any temporary negative factors.” Thus, it was directly recognized that Russian-Chinese relations go through "trials" and through "negative factors."

Thus, the real relations between Moscow and Beijing are becoming increasingly difficult, but the official rhetoric remains the same: both sides successfully continue to tell the rest of humanity about the unprecedentedly good relations between themselves. There is no doubt that in the foreseeable future this situation will continue. But at some point it will become impossible to hide reality behind rhetoric.

And there is absolutely nothing to be surprised here. Over the past two decades, Chinese officials have repeated the same formula many times - relations with Russia are not allied and are not directed against third countries. And this formula fully reflects the real position of Beijing. He will not quarrel with Moscow for the sake of the West, but to the same extent he does not see the slightest reason to quarrel with the West for the sake of Russia, especially since China’s trade with the US and the EU is not even times, but orders of magnitude greater than with Russia .

Similarly, Beijing sees no reason to quarrel for the sake of Moscow and Kiev. Ukraine is very interesting to China as a “bridge” to Europe (and bypassing Russia), as a source of some military technologies and fertile land, which Beijing would very much like to rent. China is extremely ambiguous about the Crimean precedent. On the one hand, he can consider himself "Ukraine" in the light of the problems of Taiwan, Tibet and XUAR. On the other hand, as he continues to grow his complex power, he can also play the role of “Russia”, and “Ukraine” will prove to be, it is possible, just Russia. In any case, the Crimea did not officially recognize Crimea in Russia.

OIL QUESTION

Saudi Arabia and Iran, opposing each other in the Middle East, are among the three largest oil suppliers to China. At the same time, China receives significantly more oil from the monarchies than from Iran, so that’s why it’s not going to quarrel with them. With Ankara, Beijing has been developing very close multilateral relations for many years, including in the sphere of military-technical cooperation. Therefore, he is absolutely not going to conflict either with the monarchies or with Turkey for the sake of Assad, whose fate, like Syria as a whole, Beijing does not care. Nor do they care about the problem of fighting Islamic terrorism, although Beijing has long since successfully recorded itself as its “victim”. Everyone remembers well that in 80-ies the United States, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan created Al-Qaida (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) to fight against Soviet troops in Afghanistan, but for some reason everyone forgot that another member of this anti-Soviet Coalition was at that time China. Xinjiang separatism is of an exclusively national, not religious nature, but Beijing successfully created the myth of Islamic extremism of the Uyghurs, thus fitting into the global mainstream of “combating international terrorism”.

Thus, neither in the Crimea and Ukraine, nor in Syria, the interests of China completely coincide with the Russian ones. Accordingly, it would be strange for Moscow to expect support from Beijing. It is all the more strange to make claims to him about this - the power of any country is obliged to be guided by the national interests of this country, and not any other. In particular, Beijing both acted and will continue to act in Chinese, and not in Russian interests. These interests are completely different, so there is no union between us and there never will be. The only strange thing is that they do not understand this in the Kremlin. Here, by the way, almost completely repeated story with Russian-Turkish relations: For many years the Kremlin has managed to ignore the fact that the geopolitical interests of Moscow and Ankara (especially after Erdogan came to power) are not just different, but also diametrically opposed. And he managed to be very surprised downed by the Turks over Syria Su-24.

China has not shot down our plane. But perhaps this is the only difference between him and Turkey and is exhausted. And only for now.

    Big politics is an endless chain of compromises, or, if you prefer, a giveaway game. By and large, do we, and any state, have eternal allies? FOR ALL TIMES. It is enough for the United States to weaken, and all sorts of rifts will begin inside the country, all of its "allies" will immediately show themselves. And far from the best side. And if we talk about Russia, then everyone knows about its permanent allies - the army, navy and aerospace forces.

    By the way, both the army and the navy (God forbid!), And the October Revolution of 1917, as an example of this, can also in a certain situation ... Of course, I repeat, God forbid.

    So you need to live calmly, develop, become completely self-sufficient, do not get into the affairs of others if they do not directly concern us, and do not count on virtual partners.

    Russia is a great power, and that’s it.

The slogan, who is not with Russia, is not just stupid against it, it is dangerous. Stupid and dangerous, like any du-cancer.

          Definitely paid - I don’t know by whom - maybe the State Department?

          And the article is just a lie, it’s all solid - misunderstandings of juggling juggling

          I already wrote earlier that I myself am wary of the current Russian-Chinese friendship - like any citizen of KZ. But we must admit that China supports the Russian Federation and there are a lot of steps - from the BRICS bank to many investment projects in the KZ and the Russian Federation. And the Chinese are also trying to replace. all that Europeans refuse to give because of sanctions

          Of course, they do everything in their interests - they need a friendly rear and strong Russia and the KZ from the west and north in the upcoming confrontation in the Pacific Ocean

          And then what will happen is already unknown

            hi Of course, China does everything solely in its own interests. But at the same time it does not replace Russia for what it does not receive from the West now. In any case, in full. Russian-Chinese trade has just collapsed. Moreover, due to the fact that Chinese private banks do not lend to Russian companies for the purchase of Chinese products. And given the fact that the volume of China's trade with the West is dozens of times greater than that of China with Russia, then one should not even hope for a full-fledged "Chinese import substitution": if the West expresses (only expresses!) Dissatisfaction with the supply of some products to Russia - immediately there will be a reason to revise this agreement, as well as a reason to interrupt deliveries. The only real route is through Kazakhstan. But here they can be secured not only from China, but also from the initiators of the sanctions.

              You are right dear Karlovar! Khramchikhin most likely paid by the State Department

              But I must admit. that since the Chinese threat (even if not military - but in the form of cultural and ethnic expansion) still takes place - such anti-Chinese propaganda certainly has an effect. t to not from scratch

              I think. that in this period of time, the leadership of both the Russian Federation and the KZ should still limit anti-Chinese propaganda - in view of the short-term conjuncture - while taking measures to limit Chinese economic and cultural expansion and migration.

              T e now of course you need to be friends - against the much worse world evil. But friendship involves taking into account the interests of friends - and it seems that the Russian Federation and China are agreeing somehow now - it seems that China recognizes Central Asia for the Russian Federation and also does not climb into Kazakhstan. In the framework of the SCO, everything was somehow distributed. China is not profitable to scare the KZ and the Russian Federation and set them against

              But in general, I would like some kind of "Chinese wall" to fence me off from China. You can also be friends at a distance - tourism can be helped to trade joint foreign policy joint protection from an external enemy - etc.

              if I welcome the reintegration with Belarus and the Russian Federation, the words Integration and China are simply deadly incompatible

                There is one striking, instructive and illustrative example in history: the creation of the Bulgarian state (Danube Bulgaria), the birth of the Bulgarian ethnic group! The Turkic-Bulgars and Slavs united in a single state for joint survival in the face of the Byzantine and Khazar threats! Moreover, the proposal was made by the Bulgars, the Slavs accepted, the Slavs were more numerous (hence the Slavic language, and the self-name of the people was Turkic). As a result, the combined army became very balanced: Nomad Bulgars are excellent cavalrymen, Slav-resistant infantrymen! Well, plus jumped demographics, economics. The result of this event? The Bulgarian state successfully survived both the Khazar state and the Byzantine empire !!!

            China notes that it is always guided by the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of countries.
            "We respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

        the problem of many Russians is that they perceive countries - or friends - forever, or enemies - forever.
        Look at China - China is guided exclusively by its Chinese interests, generally looks down on everyone and spits.
        This is his ideology - personal interests, interests, interests.
        Therefore, he achieved what he achieved.

          smile Who is Russia? I assure you that the Russian Foreign Ministry is well aware of the failure of any "friendship" in politics. And the articles are the reaction of the common man's resentment to the policy of isolation and containment of our country. Because of this, they have neither texture nor analytics. Only puffy lips with a candy wrapper.

          In fact, the current situation in Russia is the position of the Damascus blade in the rolling process. Heat, cold, hammer. Whoever does not know the secret will gasp, the Almighty will burn the iron! But no, this is a dance of the waning moon with Venus. I hope we will see him in all its glory.

          As for citizens, there is such a thing, dear Alexander, it would be good for everyone to start thinking about their own family - then there will be prosperity, to hear your neighbor, there will be love, to make a discovery that Russia does not end behind your fence, there will be order.

Why should China openly stand on the side of the Russian Federation, against the United States? Suggest who is the main trading partner and who brings money?

              Yes, and mobilization resources are very good. All men of mobilization age are annually called up for military training. With the number of military personnel in Switzerland in the amount of not more than 10000 people, the army may well transform into a gigantic formation of up to 1 million 700 thousand “bayonets” thanks to well-trained reservists.

      China has NEVER been and will not be an ally of Russia. And this is not because Russia is so bad, or because China has its own views of Siberia. Not even that.
      China would always be on its own. He never had allies, with the exception of North Korea in the mid-twentieth century. This is the only nation that in no way accepts the culture of others. They only implant their own. China fought with almost all its neighbors and led, for the most part, aggressive wars. I repeat, for the most part.
      Now it’s not worth the illusion that China is a friend, ally and partner of Russia. No, this is far from being presented to us. I would say differently. Sometimes, for some positions in the world, our interests coincide. That's all. No more.
      China today is very actively gaining economic power. But this power is built on the bones of ordinary and impoverished Chinese. And so they have an attitude in everything. The only thing that holds them back is nuclear weapons. BUT! They also have it and they spat on any international agreements.
      I am not turning anyone against China, but simply encouraging them to think soberly. If Russia gives slack, China will definitely take advantage of this. And then many will wonder why the "ally" did this, while realizing that China had never been our ally. It is then that he will become the worst enemy of Russia, worse than the United States. But not earlier, but for now he skillfully disguises himself.

Therefore, they are fucking us ... i.e. deceive with love and respect, and the rest are not. This is the Chinese mentality. They tried to “divorce” me, from taxi drivers to ship agents, who seemed to represent my interests. At least a couple of dollars, but cheat. And often I spit on everything, and paid because time and nerves are more expensive.

        The Uyghur Kaganate and the Tibetan kingdom (the most powerful and warlike powers of their time) for centuries harassed China with predatory raids ... Just at one moment the Chinese emperors lost patience and they solved the issue of the Uyghur and Tibetan threats radically once and for all, eliminating these states in the military operations, including their territories to themselves. After the Mongol conquest, the Chinese also radically resolved the issue of the potential Mongol threat by conquering Mongolia and annexing their territories to themselves. The Hunnu (Huns) power also harassed China for centuries with predatory raids, invasions and posed a threat to Chinese statehood, again the Chinese liquidated the Hunnu state and persecuted them for a long time to the west, the Huns fleeing to the west provoked a great massacre called "The Great Migration of Peoples" ... So who was initially to blame for the termination of the existence of the states of the Uighurs, Tibetans, Mongols, Xiongnu (Huns) ?????

        salaries of low-skilled workers in Russia. Therefore some

        What do you want from China? 15-20 years ago, no one wrote him to the great powers. And now it’s hard to call it a superpower. It still does not have such capabilities to openly confront NATO openly.
        Based on the history of China, they never climbed further than the border countries. And then, only in cases where their interests are at risk. Until recently, their aircraft were not fully mechanized, but we passed this in the 50-60s of the last century. hi

      Khramchikhin, on his own wave - is fighting the Chinese threat. lol Even arguing with him is somehow embarrassing - he will suddenly be offended. Just one point about sanctions - the Chinese cable layer is laying the energy bridge to the Crimea through the strait, and the cable itself was made by a company from Shanghai on our order, because in the Russian Federation air and underground cables are made of the required throughput, and submarine cables are only smaller (they are needed every 50 years , as practice shows). lol So it does not look like sanctions from the PRC.
      And about the trade, well, have you heard about import substitution? This is such a thing thanks to which the import of machinery, transport and equipment in the Russian Federation decreased from $ 152 billion in 2013 to 82 in 2015. laughing And this is not done in order to break free from dependence on Europe and become dependent on China. So we are buying in China what we cannot really quickly replace. And import substitution applies to China too. But there is an increase in our supply of mineral products in China and the Saudis are sad about it - there are not so many grain places in the world. laughing And by the way, the transit of goods from China through the Russian Federation grew by 89 percent - more so far the throughput capacity of our railways does not allow. But work to increase it is in full swing. And the news about the transfer of 12 production facilities from the PRC to the PRIMORSKY KRAI DO NOT FORGET - THE PERFECT ON IT WAS MISSING. fellow hi

      -
      that's it!
      This so-called. "ikspert", one task is to sow distrust, and even better enmity between the PRC and the Russian Federation ...

      Although, the relations between our countries are completely different and the proof of this are these recent real events -
      Russian-Chinese response to NATO exercises: coordination of joint missile defense activities
      At that moment, while NATO is preparing to conduct the largest exercises since the Cold War, “Anaconda-2016”, which will involve more than 30 thousands of troops, Russia and China are preparing their “subtle hint of thick circumstances.”

      NATO exercises will start very soon - they are scheduled for June 7-17. Moreover, they are planned on a grand scale. 31 thousand troops from the 19 NATO countries (including 14 thousand Americans), as well as from six alliance partner countries, including Ukraine, will learn to repel conditional hybrid threats.

      And everything seems to be fine: the preparations are in full swing, problems with logistics and lobbying for Ukrainian participation are being resolved, but here you are - a month before the start of the exercises, the Russian Federation and China will conduct the first missile defense computer exercise "Aerospace Safety-2016."

      The main goal of the exercise is to develop joint actions by the quickly created air defense and missile defense groups of Russia and China to protect territories from accidental and provocative attacks by ballistic and cruise missiles.
      ...
      The main point of the Russian-Chinese exercises is not a demonstration of weapons and strength, but the solidarity of state policy and security strategies. This is another “subtle hint” that Russia and China, in which case, will coordinate actions and form a united front.

      In addition, such a serious desire of NATO countries to rattle arms in Poland fades a bit against the news of tests of the latest generation of missiles, invulnerable to NATO weapons, in particular, for missile defense systems. Moreover, both Russia and China carried out successful tests, literally with a difference of several days (testing hypersonic BB)...

      Obviously, while the United States is “shaking” and arming eastern Europe, Russia and China are improving their missile defense capabilities and overcoming the enemy’s missile defense.

          And what - Syria is already our ally? what
          In Syria, Russia using an unconventional method has shown that it is a global player. At the same time, it restored and extremely strengthened its influence in the Middle East, forced to reckon with itself. Well, she solved a bunch of problems, and she showed an army with weapons. And as for the fact that Syria is our ally - let me doubt it. Russia pursues its interests, including in the fight against Islamic radicalism, but the semi-dictatorial regime in Syria does not become Russia's ally from this ...

      And I about it. Abroad, you need to buy only what we ourselves do not do, the rest is done by ourselves. And do not care what quality potatoes in Egypt and Algeria, how many crops Algeria takes. It is necessary to engage in their own production and then the currency in the state is enough for everything and the exchange rate will be interesting. Try to bring in at least kg of apples to the USA, it won’t work, and they’ll carry us with wagons. You might think there are none of your own, but they want their own rotting networks for 20 rubles each. own, and imported 40 take. That's right, for every kg from the EU or China there is a state subsidy, and we subsidize the rate for banks. Banks do not grow bread, do not pour steel, do not make machines.

          They will do it when the state will give priority to its producers, and not arrange an auction with an offer around the world. Western concerns are dumped at first, and then when our producers die sharply raise prices or put forward accompanying conditions are unacceptable to us. Well, you have to think at least two moves forward. the money now invested in our own science, small-scale, and later serial production, will bring about the creation of industries in the future. And everything is being built with us (except for the military-industrial complex) as a business project with a horizon of 3-5 years, and then even the grass does not grow. The country as a person should make plans for life, and not for an hour. About the apples. Have you been in the Tambov Region, Krasnodar Territory, Ossetia, Krachayevo-Cherkessia for a long time? Everything is in apples, rotting underfoot, the network that year decided to sell at a price. A friend works in the network, so they were given the task of pushing the manufacturer in price, because it was necessary to compensate for losses from the jump in the dollar and the euro, as well as to compensate for losses from previously paid batches of apples in the EU. The purchase price was set at 5 rubles. kg In their stores, apples are cheaper than 60 rubles. not observed, i.e. sanctions were again compensated by residents and agricultural producers, and the networks had nothing to do with it.

                  Let’s omit the joke, try it differently. Once the United States flew to the moon. Appropriate technologies, equipment, missiles, devices, etc. were developed. Time has passed - and now all this needs to be created anew. But to renew that old program is not realistic - both the elemental base and just the smallest components have changed - and everything needs to be re-created. So, the production of consumer goods in the United States, if necessary, will also need to be re-created. As well as the production of a heap of components that they are not currently producing. And equipment for the production of components. And equipment for the production of this equipment. These are real years, maybe five to seven years - in the absence of war. In peacetime - this can be done, but it makes no sense. And in the event of a conflict - with China, for example, you don’t even need nuclear weapons - everything will fall apart due to broken ties ... And if nuclear weapons are also used ...

We have so much support for agriculture that the support per ha is 5000 rubles, and the land tax is 25000 rubles. + fuel is getting more expensive just in time for sowing + turnover tax 10%, contribution to networks 25%, state duties of 15000 per hectare of cultivated land. In the US, 400-500 dollars per ha, in Canada 350-450 dollars per ha, in the EU 500 euro per ha. So where do they value their manufacturer?

    The fact is that certain sanctions against the Russian Federation were introduced by the USA, Canada, EU countries, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Montenegro, Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, Georgia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand. In total, these are 42 countries from 192 countries that are members of the UN, that is 21,88% of the recognized states of the world. Thus, China was only among the 150 countries (or 149, if Russia itself is excluded) that maintained their previous relations with Russia.

    The most terrible sanctions from Georgia, Albania, Moldova, Liechtenstein. It is also difficult for us from the sanctions of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

    Dear, China is developing rapidly and it is foolish to think that in the struggle for resources, everything will be as before, as soon as China feels our weakness, you can be sure that it will certainly take advantage of this military force, rather, on the contrary, the prospect of China's "friendship" with The United States, so far it does not seem real, but too many of them bind them together and these powers will still find common ground, if Russia does not interfere, now China is simply interested in Russia, tomorrow it’s gone, other alliances with our current friends are possible, again with one goal is resources, which is precisely why it is necessary to "work" with China very closely in all directions and closely monitor any changes in relation to us in Russia and react accordingly

    Finally, a normal article appeared. And then all these snots about the Chinese brothers have already gotten.
    "Selected PLA motorized rifle units are conducting military exercises on the borders with Russia (translation of material from Chinese sources).
    The motorized rifle brigade of the 39th Army of the Shenyang Military District (which is deployed in the north of the country, near the border with Russia) conducted military exercises in winter conditions.
    With heavy snowfalls and low temperatures, motorized rifle formations of the ground forces continue to conduct military exercises to improve troops in "real combat conditions"
    It is noteworthy that it is the snowy terrain and severe frosts, according to the Ministry of Defense of China that are “real combat conditions”. A reasonable question arises, with what enemy is the Celestial Empire going to fight? Obviously not with Taiwan.
    In addition, facts such as the solid military budget of China, the continuous modernization and purchase of modern military equipment, and the conduct of exercises with the transfer of troops over long distances greatly displace the balance of forces with the northern neighbor. According to the Chinese themselves, the so-called "union" with Russia is nothing more than a temporary phenomenon and will be used to achieve economic and military superiority. And then, under the influence of sanctions, the Russian government will agree to any conditions with the Middle Kingdom. This is the real point of view of the Chinese, which for obvious reasons is not published by the official media.
    Original article from the website of the Ministry of Defense of China:

    When the limited contingent of Soviet troops in Afghanistan was engaged in the fight against terrorists and bandits at the request of the government of this country, China, together with the United States, armed, supplied, trained, treated, nurtured and nurtured the Afghan "opposition" - mujahideen / dushmans. This was called the fight against Soviet hegemonism.
    Some 20-30 years have passed since then. China has become a world workshop for the production of consumer goods, where, as a reward for loyalty, and, often, open assistance in the fight against the USSR, Western and American firms launched their production. But due to the huge population, living mainly in the countryside, China is still very far from the standard of living of developed countries. And they are unlikely to allow this country to outstrip them in development, still considering the Chinese as insects. But China cherishes these thoughts. Now Africa is very much subordinate to the Chinese comrades, who buy land there, extract minerals, etc. Here they came face to face with the Americans (this can be seen on the example of the torn apart Congo, when the country was divided into two warring states). Hence the "warming" in Russian-Chinese relations. They want to play us off with the West completely, but themselves, according to their habit, "sit on a mountain and watch two tigers in the valley tear each other apart." It was their parable that went around in honor of the "Monkey King" during the time of the ever-memorable "detente" in the USSR. I would tell the Chinese a firm "NO". And I would have sent it to hell. I hope that it will be like that!

    For some reason, the author thinks that China should steer either Kremlin dolls, or diets. And in my opinion, such a large country, like any other, should have its own, independent policy! I repeat, the author looks at these things as zebras across the ocean - those who are not in the wake to us are the enemy. Therefore, you can polemize on all counts

    Well, yes, the child understands that our gain is not profitable for him - neither military nor economic !!

    BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, our state of the 90s level is not profitable for him ....

    Let the author first think for China. And thinking, he will say - they are not at all interested in our weakening !!

    Why??

    Yes, because China has already passed the Opium Wars, and the semi-colonial status and the Japanese occupation ----- and judging by its competent policy, he doesn’t want to return oh how much !! And so he is interested in both the BRICS and Russia as a military ally, because this is not the only way to maintain balance, but even an advantage over the greedy west. Which at the slightest chance of China will not leave neither horns nor legs.
    That is why the first visit of the head took place to us - in politics this is far from a hint but a cry, we are with you! Of course, we will "butt" for individual positions, deals, countries, documents, paragraphs, etc. BUT we, as 2 huge clumsy subjects in a cramped boat, perfectly understand that we will not last long without each other - a dangerous predator has appeared in the reservoir

    "Good afternoon.
    The topic is developing on Chinese enterprises in the Far East. Now the Communist Party has seized its head. An article is posted on their website stating that Russia has actually given an entire region to China for industrialization. And the Chinese will work at the enterprises, they will also bring their families. Most likely this is a fee for support in the conditions of Western sanctions. So something good and the Far East can be lost.
    Incidentally, the comments of the Far East on this subject are also interesting.

    V.G. Pozdnyakov: The decision to locate Chinese plants in the Far East does not take into account a lot of negative consequences
    The media reported that China plans to locate some of the harmful and hazardous industries in the Far East. As it turned out, an agreement in principle on the transfer of Chinese enterprises in 12 sectors of the economy was reached during the visit of the Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East Alexander Galushka to Beijing and was recorded in a Memorandum of Understanding, the ministry's press service said. It is planned to place such enterprises in the zone of priority development territories (TOP) and in the Free Port of Vladivostok, where environmentally hazardous projects will receive tax benefits and preferences.

    Opinions on the PRC are different. I will also try to state my point of view. I apologize in advance if some (maybe most) members of the forum do not like it.
    The title of the message is "China - a virtual ally." Why only virtual? During the period of sanctions - a contract with the PRC campaigns for work of about 400 billion dollars - this is real finance. (Other fairly large-scale contracts are also being worked out. For example, the joint equipment of the Northern Sea Route, the expansion of the throughput of Russian Railways from the Far East to the western borders. The sale of military equipment to the PRC is also finances and considerable. Do they copy and try to sell VT as their own? Many in the world have sinned with this Our country is no exception. Do they occupy the first place in the world in industrial espionage? (And I wonder where we and the United States are)))) So we need to protect our interests more seriously. Selling Su-35 to China? Normally, the aircraft builders said that it would take the Chinese 5 ... 7 years to copy this aircraft - let them do it. Further, the aircraft is expected to be modernized with a new information system and engines (and not only))). The system of contracts redirects the PRC's needs for oil and gas to our market (by the way, a number of other countries too). Is it beneficial for us in the future? Yes. Is the PRC profitable? Yes. Because there was a threat of seizure of tankers and pirates unleashing a sabotage war there, incl. against tankers supplying oil to China (with the unprofitable unnamed country of the PRC foreign policy). It's strange, pirates seize ships, warships patrol the water area, and civilized relations do not allow this evil to be burned out. It seems that these are also American tame pirates (as well as semi-hand ISIS).
    Our territory and our resources. This is a problem, of course. But also a possible solution is on the surface. We will not be able to reliably cover our border with Western countries in a full-scale conflict. The border with China - even more so. Therefore, it is clear to them that there is a fairly large conflict and that there will be exchanges of strategic nuclear forces. People there are very smart - they don't need such a conflict. Who needs it? There is such a country on the other side of the ocean. By the way, if I am not mistaken, back in 2009-2011, American experts came to the conclusion that a full-scale war with the PRC is inevitable. If it happens near 2040, China will win. But if you play off the Russian Federation with the PRC - that's just what you need. The Chinese also understand this, because there are only three powerful forces in the world: the United States (I am not writing NATO), the PRC, and soon there will be our country (we would have to live another 4-5 years without war))). EU, excuse me, this is a woman of easy virtue and now she is simply being played in their interests by the "partners". Therefore, we do not need friendship in an alliance (we (I do not mean us) ourselves threw friends - let's remember Cuba - when our troops were withdrawn after the collapse of the USSR; Libya - Gaddafi lived in a tent in the Kremlin - they were silent; Syria - the war for three years - and we helped six months ago). It's just politics. And a policy on economic and military interests is currently stronger than simple friendship. And since the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China would gladly embroil, we need to stick together. And it's good that the leaders of our countries and financial institutions understand this.

China received a number of disputed territories with a total area of ​​337 square kilometers: a plot of land in the vicinity of Bolshoi Island (the upper reaches of the Argun River in the Chita Region) and two plots in the region of the Tarabarov and Bolshoi Ussuriysky Islands at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri Rivers.

    In particular, Beijing has acted and will continue to act in Chinese, and not in Russian, interests. These interests are completely different, so there is no union between us and never will be. It is very strange that the Kremlin does not understand this. Here, by the way, the story with Russian-Turkish relations was almost completely repeated: the Kremlin for many years managed not to notice the fact that the geopolitical interests of Moscow and Ankara (especially after Erdogan came to power) are not just different, but diametrically opposite. And he managed to be very surprised at the Su-24 shot down by the Turks over Syria.

    China has not shot down our plane. But perhaps this is the only difference between him and Turkey and is exhausted. And only for now.

    All that needs to be said, the author said.

    And it’s not clear what the cons were.

    And correctly, the author focuses on the misunderstanding of individual leaders in the Kremlin how to behave with China.
    Although the behavior is understandable enough.
    Until a certain moment, relations between Russia and Western countries were priority in all respects.
    With China, too, everything turned out more or less.
    But China is a keen dragon. He carefully observes everything that passes both next to him and over the ocean.
    How can China begin to wage a struggle with us against "developed democracies" if all of its foreign trade is 70 percent concentrated with them?
    This is really "bees against honey".

    The main mistake of our leadership is that they forget the main tenet of Chinese philosophy to wait patiently "when the corpse of your enemy floats down the river."
    Russia can never count on sincere friendship with China, due to overpopulation of China and ruined ecology.
    Not far off is the day when a couple of hundred million Chinese decide to move to a more favorable habitat.
    With clean air, with clean water. with not poisoned soil.
    Do you happen to know where in the vicinity there is such a piece of land?

    That is the same thing.

    It would be time for the top leaders in Moscow to understand that we have no allies and act on the basis of this indisputable fact. We are a self-sufficient country, and we do not live in complete isolation, which we cannot do (for now) ourselves, you can buy from these or these. And they won’t give what to buy - another reason for development. Just do not have illusions, but act in the style of hard pragmatism.

    Largely correct article. China is not our friend and never will be. An insignificant laurel, having lost and not made friends, grasped Beijing as if it were the last straw and betrays our relationship as a victory. Beijing, on the other hand, is building its relationship with us from the perspective of a strong and rich uncle, and we are bending and pleading before it. In anticipation of a major war, which is slowly developing from Syria and Iraq, it will inevitably creep through Afghanistan, where it is already hot, to Central Asia, and then the Orenburg steppes and the Urals. And also a blow to Armenia, but we cannot but parry. Who will guarantee that the Americans, at last on the outskirts, do not slam the door so that the Zaporizhzhya NPP is burning or the Nazi battalions do not organize a bloody provocation on the border or terrorist attacks in Russian cities? I think that Putin is well aware of the possibility of such a development of events, only why he does not mobilize the economy and nationalize industry, I personally, do not understand at all. Well, he’s not a suicide. And what is going on with education, does he want to finally unite the people? The best education in the world was changed to ege. The people do not want such a government and economic course.

      It seems Putin wants to renew power. See, 1. The appointment of Pamfilova in the Central Executive Committee. She is a decent person, in my opinion, will not make concessions. His statement was renewed at 70% dep. Bldg. There are only a few deputies at a talk show on TV. They say pretty smartly, they know their job. Where are the others?
      2. Communication with representatives of the NF. It happens very often. PR? I don’t think so. The GDP rating is already high.
      3. Failure to launch missiles from the East. Tough sloppy statement guide. Incomplete official compliance of the director of one plant. Wording as a serviceman.
      4. VVP leads almost ALL meetings. The question is - where is the prime minister?
      It looks like the GDP realized that it is necessary to clean the tops. An influx of fresh strength is needed. Stayed, overgrown with ties, learned to blur problems.
      I think the upheaval of the entire state structure is coming at the end of this year.

    The expansion of China is gaining strength. You can, of course, hide your head in the sand, but ...
    "Good afternoon.
    The topic is developing on Chinese enterprises in the Far East. Now the Communist Party has seized its head. An article is posted on their website stating that Russia has actually given an entire region to China for industrialization. And the Chinese will work at the enterprises, they will also bring their families. Most likely this is a fee for support in the conditions of Western sanctions. So something good and the Far East can be lost.

    Dear, China is not only a large army, it is a powerful economy, this is where we will work until Russia becomes a powerful economic power in the main and promising areas, we will continue to look for imaginary allies, make compromises, make diploma thematic curtsies, think about why they don’t even plan to attack the United States (not counting North Korea), because it is clear that a powerful economy and developed financial institutions give the United States advantages, and hence the modern armed forces, this is what needs to be developed, and not play on exchange rates, the same with China, once again, while it is beneficial for China to pursue a policy of “mutual understanding”, but we simply won’t have time to go further and there is no need for any kind of war, we will give it ourselves for money and don’t shout about sovereignty, and key industries will be in the wrong hands, quietly and without unnecessary PR, and because the beginning has already been made

    And our leaders generally get it tight. They all live in dreams, while the rest of the world lives on national interests. we take on new commitments on climate, and China, USA, India spat on them. What do we need most of all? What kind of idiocy? we are building nuclear power plants around the world, and the electricity itself is already priced in the United States. What do we have such income? Why don't we build new generating capacities? Why not invest in energy storage projects, there are a lot of developments. Why didn’t they establish the production of aluminum alloy in strength equal to 50-60 units. Shore? After all, there is such a development and, moreover, ours. We buy everything abroad, but you have your own. Why didn’t they establish the construction of a typical low-rise housing, with our open spaces? Yes, at least they would start building roads without laying asphalt on gravel, but at least on a 20-25cm concrete pillow as in the USA, China, France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Canada. Stop stupid, we have a country, not a business project.


    It is precisely for this reason that no one cares about Russia. An obedient, poor, colonial country without any development strategy, with a criminal government, with a degrading economy and population.

    People, it's a disaster! Siberia is already Chinese, the Far East is Chinese, tomorrow Moscow will be Chinese.
    What am I talking about? You should go to a hospital, but quickly. All dogs in China, all of them. Who doesn't give a damn about us, and more than once! But China turns out to be the main evil, for some imaginary philosophical reasons. And then let’s not forget that the USSR supported two warring parties in China in the old days. They write that China wants dominance. Well, that’s what the USSR wanted, it wanted so much that it grew into three-quarters of a sphere, that Mao officially called the USSR a fascist state. (in his own eye, right? It wouldn’t hurt to buy a mirror from the Chinese) Oh, not an ally, oh, what evil, the main enemy, after all, they have different interests. This is a discovery. Yes, everyone has different interests, their own. They had no friends. So damn, these criteria can be given to the United States, okay? Allies there are purely for money, that is, there are no friends either, and they also have their own interests. What a coincidence. And our tradition of calling everyone friends and brothers cannot be taken away, unfortunately. It’s better to have friends for money, sixes, you know who. Than all sorts of far-fetched brothers who consume even more money and then throw stones in the back. Fact! As for the threat, they say the numbers are large. So a large army does not guarantee victory. Germany, with its tiny ant squadron, successfully captured almost half the ball. Size doesn't matter.

    The credo of Chinese politics: a dragon on a mountain, watches the fight between a tiger and a bear, then descends from the mountain and finishes off the winner! Having stolen Western and Russian technologies, China made a leap in development. In particular, with the connivance of the mediocre Yeltsin, many secrets of space technology of the USSR were either stolen or sold for pennies to China. As a result, the Chinese dragon actually turned into a monster of 2 or 3 world power!

    China's policy is what is called Asian cunning.
    The Chinese consider the ability to wait to see who will win and not support anyone as great wisdom.
    With this wisdom, they have more than once fallen under the English, American, and Japanese boots and got out only with the help of Russia.
