The dragon said the dragon showed ...

It is difficult today to write about the Chinese tactics of international affairs. It is already generally accepted that in almost all conflicts, anywhere in the world, Russia is always to blame. Less often - the United States, and even then, depending on the point of view of the beholder. And never China. In any more or less significant conflict, political scientists, experts, journalists and others find an American or Russian trace. And Chinese? Even if it is, always this footprint is a nondescript, poorly pronounced. For the press uninteresting.

Such an attitude towards China has been preserved since the time of the "great opposition of the systems," since the times of the USSR and the USA, as two leaders of the fate of the world. Yes, there is such a country. Yes, every fourth citizen of the world is Chinese. Yes, China itself has almost unlimited human resources. Yes, the Chinese diasporas in any country of the world, especially the Chinese, and then the citizens of the country where they live. But China is not deciding anything in this world ...

The stamps that are absorbed by the majority of modern politicians with their mother's milk remain to this day central to the PRC. But the world has changed a long time ago!

Most of the world's news agencies reported, with varying degrees of importance, that the People’s Republic of China had ignored the decision of international arbitration. The one that was created through the mediation of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague.

The essence of the conflict between the PRC and other countries of the region, in this particular case with the Philippines, is in territorial claims to islands and atolls in the South China Sea.

There are groups of islands that are currently claimed by several states.

Thus, China and Vietnam conquer the Paracel Islands; Spratly Archipelago - Vietnam, China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei; Scarborough Reef - Philippines and China. Prior to the beginning of the 20 century, by the way, there were no territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

The water area of ​​the sea is of strategic importance: approximately 40% of world trade traffic passes through these sea routes, as well as through the Strait of Malacca, and transports up to 80% of Chinese imports of oil and gas.

At the beginning of the 70 of the last century, significant hydrocarbon reserves were found in the immediate vicinity of the islands. According to US experts, they make 11 billion barrels of oil and 5,9 trillion. cubic meters of gas. According to Chinese scientists, 230 billion barrels of oil and 16 trillion cubic meters of gas lie in the depths of the South China Sea.

It is in the spirit of the present. While the islands peacefully "lay" outside the sea routes from somewhere somewhere, until minerals were found on the islands (in this case hydrocarbons) nobody needed them.

And, accordingly, as soon as the islands themselves or the coastal waters began to promise profits, a feeling of patriotism awoke. Immediately at all. China, Philippines, Vietnam. Japan ... That's where you need to learn patriotism. Although ... In the northern latitudes today, too, the "patriots" woke up enough.

But back to the topic. Most readers do not even represent these most controversial "islands". That is why I will quote ITAR-TASS.

"The Spratly Islands (whale. - Nansha, Vietnam. - Chyongsa) stretch in a chain in the southern part of the sea between the Philippines, Vietnam, China and the island of Borneo. Their length is about 595 km. The islands start 402 km south of Vietnam and end at 169 km north of Borneo. The archipelago zone is not precisely defined. The largest atolls and coral reefs in the Spratly constitute more than a hundred, in total, according to some sources, in the archipelago there are about 200 islands and reefs.

The Paracel Islands (China. - Xisha, Vietnam. - Hoangsa) and Zhongsha are located in 200 km southeast of the Chinese island of Hainan and in 300 km east of the coast of Vietnam. The archipelago consists of 15 islands, as well as reefs and shoals located on the territory of 46 thousand square meters. km within a radius of approximately 100 km. Its length from west to east is 180 km, and from north to south is 170 km, the total area of ​​the islands is about 3 square. km

Scarborough Reef (China. Huangyan) - small areas of land rising above the water and forming a triangle-shaped lagoon at the perimeter of 46 km. The reef area along with the lagoon - 150 square. km The nearest land is the Philippines, located in 220 km east of Scarborough. "

And now, when the card is at hand, it becomes clear the desire of everyone and everything to prove their "historical the right "to own islands. Territories that make it possible not only to control trade routes, but also to extract a lot of marine fauna, hydrocarbons and other minerals.

And, as you can see, the area of ​​the territory has nothing to do with it. Much more important is the shelf.

The first is the perspectivity of these territories noted by China. It was the Chinese who first began to look at the "ownerless" territories with lust. "Dragon" saw the prey. And then, with perseverance and efficiency peculiar to the Chinese, the PRC began to explore the islands.

In the spring of 2012, Chinese border guards detained a group of Vietnamese fishermen who, according to Beijing, were engaged in illegal fishing in the Paracel Islands.

Since 16 May 2012, China has imposed a ban on fishing in some areas of the water area of ​​the disputed islands.

In June, the 2012 of the year, the PRC government raised the status of the Xisha and Nansha Islands from a county level to a county within the Chinese province of Hainan.

At the end of June 2012, China announced its intention to hold an international tender for the exploration of oil and gas in the waters of the Spratly and Paracel Islands. Vietnam demanded to denounce the tender.

At the end of 2012, two PRC patrol boats prevented the Philippine side from arresting Chinese fishermen whose boats were located near the Scarborough Reef. Following this incident, the Philippines filed a complaint against China with the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

In May 2013, the China National Offshore Oil and Gas Corporation completed the construction in the South China Sea of ​​Asia’s largest offshore deepwater gas platform in Asia.

Since the end of 2013, Beijing has been conducting large-scale hydrotechnical and construction work in the South China Sea to create artificial islands, as well as to expand and develop these territories.

17 March 2016 in Beijing announced that they would plant about half a million trees on disputed islands.

On May 28, 2016, China posted Drones on one of the disputed islands.

1 June Beijing announced that it would create its own identification air defense zone over the South China Sea, which will be extended to all the disputed islands controlled by the PRC.

9 July 2016 The People’s Liberation Army of China conducted military exercises in the South China Sea, involving surface ships, submarines, military aircraft and coast guard forces.

10 July 2016, China announced the creation of four lighthouses on the reefs of the South China Sea and the construction of the fifth. "

As stated at the beginning of the article, China ignored the decision of international arbitration. Well, their right. We agree that there may be a body that will stand over the judicial authorities of countries. There must be a court for those who no longer believe in the judicial system of their own state. But...

Probably, any reader now remembered the decisions of this court itself. Enough information about such decisions is made constantly. The Hague arbitration is positioned as an arbitration court, not capable of error. A sort of "gentlemen gods" in robes. Well, we remember everything that is connected with the YUKOS case, which could not fail to call in that according to the image of the country, that according to the budget.

And China openly spat on this court! So what? What is the reaction of the "international community"?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC refused to recognize the court’s decision and stated that it would not affect the sovereignty and interests of China in this region. According to the position of the Foreign Ministry, Beijing will under no circumstances accept the resolution of territorial disputes and the delimitation of maritime borders by third parties.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the decision of international arbitration was even tougher, calling it "a political farce fabricated under the guise of the law."

According to the Foreign Minister, Manila’s goal was not to resolve the territorial disputes with Beijing, but to violate the sovereignty of the PRC and damage its interests in the South China Sea.

Chinese President Xi Jinping also voiced China’s position on this issue during a meeting with European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who arrived in Beijing on an official visit.

The foreign affairs agencies of Vietnam and the Philippines welcomed the decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. Of course, it would be strange to wait for a different reaction.

The Japanese Foreign Ministry expressed the hope that the verdict will be fully implemented and will lead to the peaceful settlement of maritime disputes in this region.

The head of the press service of the US Department of State, John Kirby, said that the US administration considers the decision of international arbitration to be an important contribution to the achievement of the common goal of peaceful settlement of disputes in the region.

As you can see, the reaction is virtually none! It is terrible to react when dealing with a serious opponent. Scare China? Who decides on this? NATO? Where is it? USA? They can ... two days ... And then only the teleportation of ships and military men to the region will save the Americans. Russia? Do we need this?

Thus, for the first time in its history, Western countries are faced with the fact that the beautifully created and publicized system of "European justice" is backed up by zilch. That zilch that was and will be just nothing ... The whole circus with the "right" and other "legal science" successfully crumbles immediately after the fist just shown. Or, more precisely, a well-known combination of a fist and a middle finger.

China has shown everyone what this justice system is. Who does she work for and is supported by. He showed, knowing full well that the West in general and the United States in particular, will now look for opportunities to "punish" the stubborn. Military way? There are no fools. On its territory, the Chinese are rolling NATO and all the hangers-on smoothly and quickly.

Economic sanctions? Forward, under the anthem of any of the NATO countries. China, these sanctions are simply necessary. To the signs in the factories change. Euroamerican to Chinese. The rest is not necessary to change.

And it is worth remembering that the communists from time immemorial were able to "take away and share in justice." And it is unlikely that the Chinese Communists are somehow different from others in this regard. They are confiscated and nationalized with pleasure, as bequeathed by the great creators of communism.

To put pressure on morals? Funny The Chinese are confident that the islands belong to the PRC for thousands of years ... And nobody is even trying to prove the opposite today.

The main thing we need to think about today is what is behind the power of NATO and the United States. Is she at all, this power. Why do we have to play by the rules that we did not come up with? But, most importantly, we are not constantly changing too. Should I repeat the mantra about the pan-European house? Should I take care of other citizens at the expense of their own?

Once upon a time, Ivan Andreevich Krylov described the verdict that the winner pronounced in the same situation: “You are guilty only of what I want to eat ...”

After each war, international law is rewritten. So it is no longer hundreds, but thousands of years. And write new international laws winners. But it so happened that we ourselves lost our country. Lost the status of winners. But we are descendants of the winners. It’s harder to lose yourself than a country. And someone decided that, having killed the country, they killed the heirs of the winners.

The Chinese showed us by example who is who in this world. Who are the winners, if you want. Yes, their ancestors made perhaps a smaller contribution to the victory, But they are winners. Maybe you should learn?

Problems with hydrocarbons over the years will only increase. Like other problems of the modern world. So, more and more often we will hear about the territorial claims of states. And increasingly, decisions will not be made by the “gods” of the European arbitration courts. Do we need it?

Only in one aspect: if we, that is, Russia, make decisions without looking at the rotten Europe and its overseas host. By analogy with China, but in its own style.

As I understand it, the decision of the court went to the Chinese not as a plus, but just as a minus.

[domokl]

Not sure. Yesterday, China rather harshly advised the US to "think hard" on this issue. And this sounded after the speech of John Kirby, in which he quite categorically stated that failure to comply with the decision would be "a violation of international law."
Simply put, the PRC has sent the United States far and for long.

Quote: domokl

Simply put, the PRC has sent the United States far and for long.

China sent the United States far - not a pair of bare reefs, but a devaluation of the yuan from 6,35 to 6,65 yuan per dollar - This threatens the United States (China’s main trading partner) with multibillion-dollar losses - cheaper goods from China will crowd out the US, which will lead to an even greater imbalance in foreign trade.
The currency war is a much more serious blow to the United States.

All Obama’s visits to Beijing were connected precisely with the negotiations on the ratio of yuan / dollar.

Yuan has become a very serious lever in world trade.

[Kasym]

Yesterday I just wrote about it.
Everything was fine until recently. There were sluggish conversations over controversial Taiwan; along the Malacca Strait, China transported up to 80% of all its exports (read along the South-Kit. Sea). But as soon as the United States declared China to be its adversary, pirates appeared and the systematic exercises of the NATO Navy and allies in the region began. As a result, systematic overlapping of the strait and sea lanes in the southwest began sea. Is it like shutting off gas transit through Ukraine to Russia, remember gas wars? Then, China (like the Russian Federation on gas) began to search:
1. An alternative to sea routes in the south. This is where the Chinese remembered the proposal of the National Academy of Sciences on the Silk Road (at that time we already had a part of the infrastructure ready - reloading capacities on our track (change of railway steam wheels)). That's when they began to actively promote it. Now they themselves have taken the initiative in their hands. Russia supports: proposed BAM and the Northern Sea Route. We are all profitable, because we get money for transit and become important transport arteries on the continent and to the world. trade; China and Southeast Asia guaranteed, reliable transportation. But the Chinese went further by proposing the Silk Economic Belt and creating the AIIB. I think you know that this particular Bank is going to finance the autobahn around the Black Sea - as an example of AIIB's intentions.
By analogy of the Russian Federation. Built Nord Stream-1, offers South, Turkish and Nord Stream-2.
2. Military response to the militarization of the South-K Sea. So these loose islands with runways began to appear. And in order to show who is the boss in the house, they declare all the South-K sea their own - the USA and NATO are actually far from this region. In my opinion, this is the first case of such a "tough" response for the PRC. If earlier the Chinese were reluctant to take part in the UN, peacekeeping. operations; now they themselves are being initiated in Africa (one whale peacemaker was recently killed there). The PRC shows that it is not going to be a peace-loving sheep that will endure everything - they began to butt for their interests, and not swallow them, as they did before.
By analogy, the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
From the point of view of politicians. We do not need straining in Asia (and I do not think that China wants it, because it will give an occasion to attack the whole world and give a bunch of suspicions to neighbors - they do not need it, they need now, amid tension with NATO, strong allies - RF (CSTO)); but Beijing’s actions draw on the resources and capabilities of NATO and the United States, which is naturally beneficial for us (EAEU).
Against the background of all this, Comrade Comrade’s speech is noteworthy. Xi July 1, where he said that he was convinced of the need for a military alliance with Russia.
In my opinion, the PRC specifically declares the South Sea to be its own: not in order to swear with its neighbors, but in spite of US policy in the region. Because for them, overlapping the marine area of ​​that Indonesia or only the southern part of the sea would be fatal for export (see map).
And here is the interesting thing. If the PRC and the Russian Federation (CSTO) create a military alliance, then where will the neighbors run to resolve contentious issues? I think that those Filipinos and Vietnamese will run to the north, to the Kremlin, and not to the West. Because it will become clear that NATO will not solve the issue by force, but Moscow, as an ally of the PRC, will be able to convey its aspirations to the Dragon and find consensus. The role of the Kremlin will grow many times in Asia.

While China is trying to seize the shelf, but ten years will pass and its eyes will turn north. Russia (as well as Kazakhstan and Mongolia) has only about ten years left to have time to prepare for a big war. If Russia is ready. it will remain intact and China’s claims will be limited to Kazakhstan and Mongolia .... for the time being.

Quote: igorka357

China will attack Mongolia and Kazakhstan, are you raving or what?

China has a terrible threat from the sea - probably everyone will agree here - the sea is controlled by the enemy - the USA and Japan
And the supply of the same oil goes by sea

Therefore, China has created routes for the supply of oil and gas through Kazakhstan and Russia. He has prepared for us and Russia the fate of his rear suppliers - allies in his impending great confrontation with Western rulers of the world

Until he understands the United States (read the FRS as the world government) - there’s no point in attacking him either Russia or Kazakhstan — no one is chopping the branch on which he sits

And then - no one knows. Thousands of years of history have taught that the confrontation between China and the steppes took place and was not in favor of the steppes. Our Eurasian Union must take this into account - it is clear that we, Kazakhs, will be primarily concerned, and it is clear to Belarusians far from China and Old Man that is probably why their first friend is. But if this is an alliance, then penetration into the KZ should concern both Old Man and Russia.

But for now, we are in the same boat with China. Agree perfectly said:
"Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke about the decision of the international arbitration even harsher, calling it" a political farce fabricated under the guise of the law. "

Normal international practice, who is stronger, that and the island. They sent the mattresses away, they silently swallowed, well, they grumbled a bit for the look. The states are blown away. And the Hague court has long turned into a cheap booth, for the sake of political masters, who forgot what law is. Smiled another.

cheaper goods from China will be replaced by American ones, which will lead to an even greater imbalance in foreign trade.
The currency war is a much more serious blow to the United States.

In the USA, there are almost no non-Chinese goods. My former boss, back in 2012. flew to the daughter in the states. He told me that all goods are Chinese, starting with household appliances, and ending with the legendary Stetson hats and cowboy boots, not to mention jeans. In principle, like ours, he did not see non-Chinese. And while the whole world takes dollars for payment and pretends that it is money, the United States will drum all these currency wars, they will print dollars as much as they need.

[igorka357]

In your opinion, China is stronger than the United States? The United States does not claim to be islands! China is still raising its head because Russia is now its ally! China can only fight economically now, the military potential of the army is not very large, that they will have an army of a billion ... pff, in the age of nuclear weapons, at least five billion, modern warfare is not wall-to-wall in hand-to-hand combat, the division on the march is destroyed by a single tactical defense easily! China and the United States are inextricably linked economically, they will not be able to without each other, amers have all production in China, from there and all the goods, and indeed from all over the world! Most likely, China and the United States will be able to destroy each other economically, but China’s military potential has no chance against the United States!

I don’t know where your former boss flew .. At us (in the USA) everything is littered with Chinese goods. comes across less (decreasingly :) Taiwan, Vietnam, Bangladesh ... and Ukraine.

Well, right! Minus, and the fattest to those who make decisions that mean nothing. That is, a trial in The Hague. Now it turns out that the most powerful power in the world declares the worthlessness of the court, from which the whole west has blown copper for thirty years. The question is, for whom are the decisions of this court binding? And for someone who is dependent on the United States economically or politically. That’s the whole architecture of global law.

[igor.borov775]

Understand how you want. The Court itself disgraced itself by several decisions. The Three High Judges ruled in favor of Yukos and did not give a damn about their other Courts. We somehow do not really follow the activities of these Tribunals when they do not concern us. In vain, if you delve into it, we will surely find interesting solutions. And China has long been I caught this judicial trend. I understand perfectly well that our liberal leaders cannot call China to account in any way. And now, if Ukraine submits to the COURT about the Crimea. Guess decisions two times under the joyful cries of our glorious democratic and liberal party. In China it’s easier the laws are clearly enforced there. The Chinese Court doesn’t give a damn whose son violated the law. It will have to be answered in full. That’s the whole difference. Who is the winner there. Yes, it was not always like this in China, but the authorities are seeking.

I'll tell you an elementary thing, the only US export product that brings it world domination is the US dollar. You do not need to annex territories, if your currency is valid all over the world, you can buy everything you need with simple bank manipulations at the price of waste paper. The question is what to do with the excess mass of greens in the world, because the United States does not accept them back. They are burned in all kinds of military conflicts. The most dangerous thing for the US is the lack of subordination. It is for this that they punish, including with military force. Your "arbitration court" makes objective decisions only without the intervention of the State Department. Then the question is, how legitimate is it and how to assess the harm of such a court for the entire world legal system? If even today the UK is handing over its citizens to the United States, on the order of what dusty Oklahoma court? That even the queen could not do according to the Constitution of the kingdom.

In the Second World War, only one country welded, this is the USA, and it became the leading economy in the world. Question. Who benefited from this war? And the "poor, freedom-loving, democratic states" Not only invaded unwanted countries, but also staged coups and revolutions, or simply squeezed out the economy and resources, like ordinary racketeers. The methods are the same, no different from the methods of the "dashing 90s". And they began to do this almost immediately after the proclamation of their "declaration of independence".

Dominica, Panama, Grenada .... Sometimes it is better to remain silent than to be dishonored.

Did you write that seriously? In your opinion, if the United States has not hung its flag over which de facto island it owns, then this radically changes the matter? The fact that they invaded there, bent everyone down and arranged everything in their own way, are these insignificant trifles? It was a shame when the Azerbaijanis kicked you lightly not so long ago and squeezed several heights, and right before that, your authorities told you what a steep defense you have and how easily you will bend Azerbaijanis in any desired direction. And also, what self-sufficient fellows you are who do not need help from Russia. And soon after that, Armenian lamentations about the "insidious and completely unexpected" enemy attack and calls to the United States for help were spread. True, Russia helped. As always.

[razmik72]

Mikhail Krapivin, moreover, Karabakh and discussion of the article’s behavior.
But if you want to discuss the Karabakh problem, then well, I do not mind, we can do it.
First, you made the argument that the United States secretly, so to speak, occupied the countries you listed above, but not de jure. To this argument of yours, I will only say that if you look at everything from this perspective, I must admit that my Russia occupied the country. De jure it is independent, but de facto no.
Secondly, in Karabakh, the Armenian army has lost, as you wrote, several heights, with all the desire, this cannot be passed off as an easy walk for the Azerbaijanis, otherwise they would not have agreed to a truce.
Thirdly, I agree with you that during the April battles the Armenian army was defeated, but it was only a tactical defeat. Following your logic, I should have answered you that the Turks gave you a kick in the ass, but you could not adequately to answer.
Fourthly, the current government of Armenia "cherishes and cares for" the Russian Federation, I was fully convinced of this after reading last year's articles on VO, where the power of Serzhik S. Argsyan was openly supported and mockingly asked: "What do these Armenians think if they want to change?" our president ", we will withdraw the Russian troops and they will be left face to face with the Turks." Members of the forum from Armenia have written here more than once that the current president of Armenia is engaged only in plundering the country, under his rule Armenia will weaken and Russia will have to intervene in the conflict with every sneeze of Azerbaijan in order to save its protégé. I have written about this more than once, and quite harshly. the Russian leadership prefers its henchman in Armenia, even if he is engaged in outright robbery. As they say, a son of a bitch, but our son of a bitch.

[razmik72]

Fifth, why Russia helped Armenia in such a way, I don’t know, you won’t tell me. Otherwise, forum users write about this all the time, but I don’t know everything.
Sixth, Russia supplies arms to Azerbaijan for billions of dollars, which at the same time upsets the balance of power in the region.

[razmik72]

Once again, I ask you to give an example of how Russia "rescues" its satellite, Serzhik's Armenia, and how does it do it? I am very interested to learn about the rescue role that Russia plays here, I do not want to be ungrateful, I have children, friends and relatives, to whom I want to tell the same good news.

[nerd.su]

Sorry to interfere, but Russia considers Armenia its ally, and not a satellite. You are probably an Armenian oppositionist?

And on the bill it saves ... Would Armenia exist now if not for our bases? If we left and said yes do what you want? Ask relatives and friends what they think about this.

Your bases do not solve anything and it’s enough to blackmail the Armenians with their bases. They stand here to keep the sergeant in power, they do not perform other functions. All this was clearly demonstrated by the April war, and the daily military operations on the borders of Armenia.

[nerd.su]

And what about the April war? Our bases are in Karabakh?

As long as our bases are at your place, military operations will be conducted at the border. They will leave, there will be war throughout the territory. The Turkish genocide is not new.

Do you really think that our troops there guard your president? No, they guard you from the Turks and Russian geopolitical interests.

[razmik72]

Well, this is generally beyond good and evil. If "our bases" then, if "our bases" are, they do not stand in Karabakh .Your bases are in Gyumri, in order to approach them, you need to go through almost all of Armenia. And what kind of "ally" is Russia - I do not need to explain, practically now Russia is putting pressure on Armenia so that it would agree to transfer 5 regions around Karabakh to Azerbaijan exchange of the fact that Azerbaijan will join, possibly in the future, the EurAsEC. Russia, at the expense of Armenia, is solving, as it seems to her, its "strategic tasks." I put these words in quotation marks, as anyone understands what Azerbaijan will do in any case and will not stay in this union for a long time.

[nerd.su]

Gyumri is on the border with Turkey. Once again for those who are in the tank - we protect you from the Turks. Or, in another way, we are not letting Turkey strengthen at the expense of Armenia. You yourself must deal with Azerbaijan, at least in the territory of Karabakh. Now, if the Azerbaijani troops move to Yerevan, then yes, we will intervene.
And as for the transfer of areas - do not give in to pressure. You are already a member of the EurAsEC, you can always threaten to leave it in a critical situation. So, by political methods, Russia cannot force you. Will not be power. So Russia has no chance to push such a decision. Unless, of course, your personal motivation guide bends.

[razmik72]

In order to resist Azerbaijan, Armenia needs a sane government and rapid political and economic reforms, the current model of the Armenian economy does not allow it to develop and buy at least a minimum amount of weapons. As your prime minister says: "There is simply no money." In order for the money to appear, the current Karabakh clan must leave power, it is not capable of solving the tasks facing the country, while Russia stands by the current rulers and in fact supports rotten through power, thereby creating the preconditions for a military defeat of Armenians in Karabakh. If the current authorities do not leave, then in Armenia there are two possible scenarios: 1. The military defeat of Armenia in Karabakh. 2. The development of the situation in a revolutionary way with the aim of overthrowing the rulers who are tired of everything.

If you have a Karabakh clan in power, no matter how much it steals, it is not interested in defeat in Karabakh. And if Russia supports it, then it will not allow a military defeat of Armenia. So there is only a revolutionary way, as you say. But first, funny as it may seem, there are choices. And secondly, special services and law enforcement agencies. The fate of your revolution will depend on their decision.

"Russia will not allow a military defeat" Yes, wipe your eyes, a military defeat has already happened, in April of this year there was a tactical military defeat, if there are no cardinal changes, then there will be a strategic defeat. You can't fight much on one spirit, you need weaponry. The Karabakh clan brought the country to such a state, that for the treatment of seriously wounded soldiers the society is forced to collect money to send defenders of the fatherland for treatment abroad, in Armenia there is no appropriate equipment. The Armenian government refused to finance the sending of seriously wounded soldiers abroad, arguing that "there is simply no money !!"

Changing one clan to another will not bring you abundance. If you want to ensure that there were no defeats, and that there were weapons and the economy worked, ask for a return to Russia. Only such a step will radically solve the problems. And revolutions will only aggravate them. An example is revolutionary before our eyes, Ukraine and Crimea. Look, think.

[Asadullah]

we need a sound government and quick political and economic reforms, the current model of the Armenian economy does not allow it to develop

Dear razmik72! You have no idea what you're talking about! This is the same thing when a doctor tells parents about a child’s headache: - We must cut it!

Political reform is a team of penguins in the western chaise. The opening symbol of the rebus of economic reform is loans of the same West. The development of any state consists of trade. Trade determines the priority of production, that is, the effort is made on what you manage to sell better. Politics, determines the independence of decisions. If a policy change narrows the corridor of independence, then this is not the right policy.

I am very sad, but you are not the only Armenian with a similar perception pattern. Your country is really independent today, and if you (in general terms) change power according to your worldview, it will be a rainy day for Armenia. Yes, Russia is not an occupier, it will leave your country. Yes, she will lose the bridgehead of containment of pan-Turkism in the region, but today it is not fatal for her. Who will come to the place of Russia? The fact is that in spite of the strong global lobby of the Armenians, Armenia itself, as a state, is needed by the West only for whatever Russia is there. Further, as usual, loans, funds, reforms, the rejection of Karabakh (as if God be with him, only how many will die during this?) Russia will not come to the rescue. And not from insult, but according to the rules of political thermodynamics. And believe me, nothing can be fixed. In your life and in the lives of your children. Exactly four years ago, word for word in meaning, I said this to my Ukrainian colleagues. Their thoughts miraculously came into contact with yours. Well, Wellcome to Ukraine ....

[Odysseus]

Quote: Asadullah

The overwhelming majority of Armenians support an alliance with Russia. Another thing is that the United States works with young people, the diaspora and residents of Yerevan. They need an active minority that can be gathered in Yerevan into a crowd with momentary slogans against irremovable corrupt government, etc.
There is a certain danger in this. But a small one. The US support base is too small. Well, criticism of the government without changing its geopolitical orientation is an internal Armenian affair.

I have nothing to add to the minister's words, he said everything.

Typical anti-Russian rhetoric of the pro-American opposition in Armenia, grant-eaters. Verbiage. Opposite her are the lost lives of Armenians who believed people like you. Fortunately, your appeals to the Armenian people to commit another stupidity and lose the protection of Russia do not work for normal Armenians. Because they listen to you, the last thing they will hear before dying from a Turkish knife will be your "I am sorry" before your loading into an American helicopter. If you are taken, of course. Americans usually throw the service staff

A typical position of a limited "imperial", who thinks that everyone around everyone owes Russia. But how did she, Russia, save everyone, everyone owes her. I respect the Russian Foreign Minister, at least he did not engage in demagoguery, like you, did not hide behind cheap myths about "Russia-the savior" of the peoples, he directly and clearly stated: "We need Armenia without Armenians."

“Departure into the oncoming lane through a double continuous. Creating an emergency. Using special signals, ”the person who sent the video lists.

There are “witnesses” in local forums: “Now the wedding motorcade drove along the mikraha. Everything would be fine, but they blocked the roads, drove along the oncoming traffic, forcing oncoming cars to snuggle up to the side of the road, including quacks and sirens.

Such great-power manners give rise to natural opposition, of course I got excited in the heat of the dispute, tsarist Russia could not be compared with Persia and the Ottoman Empire of that time, and if any minister spoke unsuccessfully about the Armenians, then This does not beg for the merits of the Russian tsars.

No, this is absolutely impossible. The state of Armenia exists because it is supported by Russia.
Moreover, this is pure altruism on our part. There is no economic or any other benefit for Russia in this.
Moreover, from an economic point of view, it is much more profitable for us to be friends with Azerbaijan with its oil and convenient transportation to Iran.

Iran’s position is interesting. He also supports Armenia and not Azerbaijan in this conflict.

It’s true, but it’s more accurate to say that Iran is against strengthening Turkey. Armenia itself is parallel to them. But the factor of Iran’s support is completely insufficient for the existence of Armenian statehood. Most Armenians live and / or receive transfers not from Iran but from Russia. In case of a large-scale offensive Iran in Karabakh, Iran will not be able to stop the war, etc.

[Pissarro]

Before the Russians arrived in Transcaucasia, nobody was cutting anyone

The Armenian and Georgian peoples are teaching this foolishly in State Department manuals through a fifth column similar to you.

"Georgians (from the educated) do not like very much when asked why at one time Tbilisi (Tiflis) was called" the city of lame women. "

At the end of the XVIII century there was a devastating raid of the Persian Shah Aga-Mohammed. He devastated the territory of Georgia and Tiflis. In memory of the ruin of Tiflis, Aga-Mohammed ordered to cut the tendons of all the women of the city.

In short, during one of the seizures of Tiflis, Abbas warriors raped all the women of the city and, as a sign of dishonor, cut the hamstring on their right leg to each raped woman. And long after that invasion on the streets of Tiflis, one could meet lame women as a reminder of the shame on the Georgians.

It can be added that the Georgians, at the time of the positive decision to accept under the Russian hand, remained exactly half of the campaign - about 100 thousand people. The Persians were already preparing migrants for the territory cleared of Georgians. By the way, all the harems of the East were packed with Georgian boys and girls, they were very much appreciated. "

The end of the eighteenth century - and such "charming" medieval traditions.
And the Russian Empire, well, such, you know, the centuries-old empire of barbarians, yes, it saves neighboring nations from being dispersed.

Armenians on the eve of Georgia’s entry into the Russian Empire made up the absolute majority in Tbilisi, Gori, Telavi and in the vast province of Javakhk


So, before the Russians arrived, they didn’t cut you

Well, lie further, how did it happen that "Armenia is needed without Armenians", but "for some reason" the Armenians survived.
You can take an example from the Balts, which are still ALIVE, because the Soviet Army ruined the Hitler coalition, and NOW they are unhappy that they "occupied them, the poor."

But when such razmiks begin to tell us, at the Russian forum, about how unfinished Russians are and what Americans are cool and sharp, you quickly begin to forget about love for the Armenian people. You already decide who is closer and more expensive to Armenia - Russia or America, it will not be possible to combine.

I don’t know what school you attended, but here is an example. The United States bit off a piece of Territory near Colombia and made it a state under its control.

On the initiative and with the direct support of the United States, riots broke out in the northwestern areas of Colombia, and the province of Panama declared independence from Colombia in 1903. The canal and the land near the canal are controlled by the USA. In the period from 1904 to 1914, the canal was completed under the leadership of US Army Engineering Officer George Washington Gothols. Cheap labor was used in the construction - mainly the Negro population of Antilles, Barbados, British West India, which was recruited by American recruiters, enticing "high" earnings

Not weak so. They wanted control over the channel and made their own country.

This is just the beginning.

What about Yugoslavia? This is from recent examples, so to speak.

What about Iraq? Or is it called not to squeeze? And on what basis did the American troops destroy there?

Only we do not have Crimea. And not Greece or Turkey. we have Siberia. It’s more difficult to live here. And people, respectively, are more serious. And the Chinese know this.
So, while there is at least a small number of Siberians, Siberia does not shine for China. And then ... Russia must decide whether it needs these territories.

Domokl, did you write this article? The article openly urges to "follow the example" from China and do not care about any conventions, the right proclaims the right of the strong to permissiveness. Such behavior of China will only lead to a big war with its neighbors and if the author supports such behavior of the country in the world, practically approving the "law of the jungle" , then he should know that such behavior will go sideways for any country mired in militarism. The approval of such a policy of China could lead Russia to war with China, if the right of the strong reigns in the world, then I will not envy our descendants, they will have to go through a series of wars and genocides. But what about who thinks what will make a state that spit at least decorative, but international relations, it will not hesitate to use any means to achieve its own goals, up to the genocide of entire peoples and the harsh suppression of its own freedoms citizens.

This is a dead argument. They act differently, but they don't stick the flag, but they use military force and change the government to their own. Grenada to help you in 1983. If you can't change the government, they declare a blockade or an embargo from Cuba to help you. They easily declare that this or that action is dictated by their national interests or the struggle with the "dictator" for "democracy" Iraq and Libya to help you. They plunge countries into chaos just to annoy their rivals, Ukraine to help you. And they don't pay attention to any decisions of the UN or any arbitration tribunals. Leave all this talk of justice for fools. If you have the strength, you will write the rules - no, sit still. Unfortunately, humanity today has not invented anything new at this stage of development. There was a faint hope that the UN would change something, but the states themselves are destroying this system Yugoslavia to help you, the same Iraq.

What are you? Do you really think that Russia should continue to play by the rules that are constantly changing to please the "great" power and its mongrels from the same military bloc?
Russia is trying to play, so what? We see an open threat to our security. And all international law is silent. Why are military bases getting closer and closer to our borders, despite all the assurances? Why is the defeat of several countries this most international law is not condemned? Why decisions are binding only on the rest. For those who consider themselves the mainstays of democracy, there is no democracy at all?
Yes, we are a strong country. And we do not want to "lie down" under someone. China is the same. And then there are many countries that do not believe in international law. But due to their dependence, they are forced to pretend that everything is fine.
Why do events in the Donbass concern only Russia? For two years they cried out that there were Russian troops. finally it dawned that it’s stupid to blame for dead batteries in phones. Now about our instructors and volunteers shout.
And why are they silent about European instructors and volunteers in fascist battalions? why are silent about PMCs western? Why are they silent about the supply of weapons and instructors? why they don’t talk about American instructors at the training center in Khmelnitsky? But they train subversive specialists there.

If you already raised the question of Crimea, then I will say that Russian people live there and a referendum was held, and China did not openly capture the islands, considering itself superior to the rest. There are no people on these islands and I think it is not correct to compare them with Crimea.

So if these are uninhabited islands, why do you think that China violates international law? On what grounds does the Philippines have more rights to these islands? Why did the Philippines go to The Hague and not to the UN Maritime Commission?
The ownership of "no-man's" land is determined in several ways. The right of a pioneer, economic activity and, oddly enough, the ability to protect these territories from the claims of neighbors and determination in the issue of protection. The Philippines does not operate there and is unable to protect these territories from the claims of China. Their trip to The Hague is very reminiscent of an attempt to raid a large company by the most minority shareholder. China initially did not accept the jurisdiction of the court in The Hague over its territorial disputes with its neighbors. The decision of this court is not binding, it is, in principle, nothing more than a recommendation. So where is China wrong then? Where is the non-compliance with international law?
Russia, by the way, behaves in a similar way in relation to the shelf in the Arctic. One of the strongest "arguments" to the application to the UN Commission on the shelf, although not included in the application officially is a military presence in the region. So the authors of the article in vain urge Russia to follow the example of China. We have long been on our way. We do not confront the world community with a fact, but force it to accept and consolidate the decision we need.

[Operator]

Comparison of the decisions of the Hague arbitration on Yukos and the islands in the South China Sea is incorrect:
- Russia initially recognized the competence of the arbitration and appointed one of the arbitrators;
- China initially did not recognize the competence of arbitration and did not participate in its work.

Another thing is that the Hague arbitration in the Yukos case roughly went beyond its competence (the adoption of an international agreement that Russia has not ratified, and ignoring the decisions of the tax authorities - in violation of the Charter of Arbitration, which led to the cancellation of the arbitral award by a Dutch court of general jurisdiction).

In connection with the initial non-recognition by China of the competence of the Hague arbitration, its decision on a territorial dispute is void.

With respect to the islands, China acts strictly within the framework of international law - the ownership of the islands is still at odds, only one country (China) conducts economic activity on them, before that the islands were uninhabited and at the time were inhabited only by Chinese citizens.

Under international law, such territorial disputes are not resolved in court, but on a bilateral or multilateral basis between all applicants, as China recalled.

The same thing happened with Crimea - Russia acted strictly in the framework of international law providing for the right of the people to self-determination (UN Charter), including when another part of the people already has their own state (decision of the UN International Court of Justice for Kosovo). The people of Crimea first determined themselves in a referendum, and then their representative body decided to join the Federation.

Yes, you’ve abruptly done away with China. Something similar is being said and weeped on one interesting RBC channel. There sobs are right by the river. Well, it’s clear that our gentlemen metallurgy got worried there. China began to stop inefficient rivals with our inefficient ones. It’s necessary that China just destroys them. Our people consider how many unemployed there will be and hush up the truth. They are building several highly productive from a needle with new technologies of factories. It’s just that China will fulfill those decisions that it adopted the congress of the ruling party. And they will be executed. No one in China doubts. And by the way, for some reason, a very positive balance in trade is constantly well, stagnation is direct. We would like that. Half a month back the first new transport aircraft went and the release will increase. Here they wrote about it. And the order is not a match for our Thousand pieces. Now in China, a struggle has begun for products that are not inferior in quality to similar foreign models. We would have such zeal. Chinese construction sites a long time ago occupied the front pages of Guinness. Highways, railways, the largest airport in Beijing, the longest e metro and much more. Bridges in China are a separate issue. There, very strict legislation has taken up standards, etc. Our agricultural products are struggling to break into the domestic market of China. Strict standards and regulations. Mr. Tkachev himself spoke about this. Our products love but the requirements are such that not everyone can fulfill them. Here is China. I used to think our chicken and pork cereal would go with a bang. Tkachev admitted that not all manufacturers can meet this standard. That's right. By the way, he is reducing his army. He simply becomes on a par with those who have always dictated the rules in the international arena. We would have such a fall. The Yankees missed their chance to dictate conditions in 2008. Not until China they saved their corporations and China then used its money to full program. During the crisis, they thoroughly managed their financial resources. They acquired such high technology that they never sold them, and here the crisis is to the benefit. And the result, we often already here on the forum already read about the achievements.

Stupidity ... A little dog, an old puppy. The presence of several nuclear charges does not change the situation at all. Israel itself is well aware that its nuclear weapons are a pure pro forma to deter Arabs. no more. Any nuclear weapons charge in Israel will return the territory to the status quo.

Not sure. China is tough enough yesterday advised the US to "think carefully" about this issue. And this sounded after the speech of John Kirby, in which he quite categorically stated that failure to comply with the decision would be "a violation of international law".

So what? Allow me, the state, which does not take this right into account, makes a strict remark to the naughty man who dared to do the same, what should be the reaction of China - impose! America is well aware of China's possible economic pressure on its beloved, in which case. No sanctions will work here.

Since the end of 2013, Beijing has been conducting large-scale hydrotechnical and construction work in the South China Sea to create artificial islands, as well as to expand and develop these territories.

17 March 2016 in Beijing announced that they would plant about half a million trees on disputed islands.

28 May 2016 of the year China has placed drones on one of the disputed islands.

1 June Beijing announced that it would create its own identification air defense zone over the South China Sea, which will be extended to all the disputed islands controlled by the PRC.

9 July 2016 The People’s Liberation Army of China conducted military exercises in the South China Sea, involving surface ships, submarines, military aircraft and coast guard forces.

10 July 2016, China announced the creation of four lighthouses on the reefs of the South China Sea and the construction of the fifth. "

As already said yesterday, the Chinese are handsome, who purposefully and consistently go to their goal, scoring on the rest of the world. Moreover, they have this goal, unlike us. No, we certainly know that we want something, but we don’t know what exactly .. And, accordingly, we don’t know how to achieve this. Hence the confusion, vacillation and complete uncertainty. But they would decide for example - we need military bases in Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam. Defined goals, ways to achieve them - and forward. And so ...

Nobody has ever canceled the right of the strong. Not a single weak country has ever sought by courts and treaties any significant preferences for itself. They only negotiate with the strong and listen to the strong. War is a continuation of politics, ce la vie. For now, we can be glad that China is deployed "in the right direction" and we have time to gain a foothold in the Far East.

[Stauffenberg]

I agree. It must be understood that the Chinese left us the Far East only thanks to our army and navy, more precisely nuclear weapons. Although no one has studied the extent of penetration of Chinese capital into the economy of the Far East. You can turn into slaves without military capture.

If you go without trump cards, then you can end badly.

China has a trump card in the form of a working economy (but there is a car of problems, it is very vulnerable to sanctions, but there’s a counter-stick, if China sags, then everyone else is also bad, there’s the recent stock market crisis, as the whole world shook due to falling indices in China, for a whole quarter), large reserves, as well as a powerful argument in the form of a new fleet. Which they are also building at an incredible pace.

"And the Chinese communists are hardly any different from others in this regard. They confiscate and nationalize with pleasure, as bequeathed by the great creators of communism."
The true meaning is always hidden somewhere. Some kind of China, Vietnam, and other Europe with Malaysia. The main message of the article is to drain the brain of readers with idle talk, and insert your 3 pennies about communist expropriators. Therefore, you can not delve further, and not read. Parhataya, the dense hatred of the Communists, overshadows everything else. Like smelly old socks that were laid on a beautifully laid table. What national interests can communists have? Only take away and nationalize. According to the author of the article, everything looks that way. Rot.

- Well, of course, Ilyushenka, who doesn’t know you!
- So this is my father!
- Yes, he is a goat! - and old women in the face.
Ilya is menacing again:
- You know me?
- Of course, Ilyushenka, you keep the whole forest! Everyone here knows you!
- So this is it - my father!
- Yes, he is a goat! - old women in the face.
Ilya is furious:
- You know me?
Then the old man could not stand it:
- Ilyushenka, let's go home, well, there’s such a showdown ...

America was not seriously concerned with China. The point is that Russia exists. And oddly enough, it is she who is the key to a future dispute. We will bend under the "golden yard", the United States will bend the Chinese, as they did before in Libya, for example. if we "end up" with China, it will be difficult for the United States. But it is better to stand on the sidelines and get rid of statements about the priority of "international law" and the UN. China, playing its own game, during Nixon's time "deserted" to the side of the United States. The PRC received more bonuses from this than the United States, developed, rose, pretending that they were in the field of the West. Now, the PRC must turn its economic strength into a political one. Influence in Africa and South America based on trade and investment is great, but they got kicked out of Libya and wiped out. This was also noticed by everyone. Let's see how China manages to become a full-fledged player in the world. Watching Russia hooligan on the world stage (from the American point of view) and squeezing the islands on the sly is great, but if Sauron's eye turns to China, what will happen then? After all, the Americans are asleep and see how, due to the anti-Chinese sanctions, they can return part of production to the United States, or can they build relations with Vietnam or India? there consumer goods can also be produced and exported to the United States. What then? How about unemployment? I arrived from Shanghai 3 months ago and learned from conversations with partners - there are immeasurable problems there and the huge production of everything and everything - IS NOT A PANACEA. Let's see if the dragon is real or cardboard?

China was at the crossroads of history in 1989 and made its choice. In its results you can
make sure by comparing China 1980, 1990, 2000s. I’ll add that for 50 years, China has not lost
1 sq.m of its territory, regaining Hong Kong and Macau. The main foreign policy issue remains Taiwan.

This foreign policy problem can be solved in a completely non-trivial way - to fill a dam in a rather shallow sea and surround Taiwan with "Chinese land", Taiwan will become the inner territory of China - a funny proposal :)

For me, the "confrontation between the US and China" artificially whips up the media, if everything were so, then the Chinese Navy would not participate in joint exercises with the US Navy. I’m wondering: our government considers the United States to be a “capricious” partner, but does not conduct joint exercises. And ask yourself how the "patriotic" Chinese will react if the party suddenly changes direction and says that they have found an understanding with the United States, but they have a lot of pretensions towards Russia ...

[pig killer]

Quote: Nelepost

however, does not conduct joint exercises

You are poorly informed. The exercises of the Russian and Chinese navies are held periodically, including in the South China Sea. Moreover, this year the command and staff exercises of the Strategic Missile Forces and the RKS of the PRC were held. A separate conversation about military-technical cooperation. I would like to hear from you a list of the PRC's "claims" against Russia. Thanks.

Sixth, Russia supplies arms to Azerbaijan for billions of dollars, which at the same time upsets the balance of power in the region.

Russia has helped Armenia by simply living. Could not live, but be cut out. Think carefully about the history of your people, what are YOU generally worth.

[Nelepost]

pigkiller - it seems that he expressed his thought vaguely, he meant the teachings of Russia and the United States. Now there are no claims from the PRC, but if the United States and China become at the same time, it may well appear in the spirit: so much empty territory, and we have overpopulation, you are not "democratic" on the globe, or about huge deposits of minerals that are not being developed and therefore the progress of mankind is inhibited.

[Nelepost]

Anything can be invented for expansion. I think that the PRC party would not say which development vector it would not choose, the Chinese will follow it. I’m talking about the fact that the media are very much pumping up information about the confrontation between the United States and China, because they have examples of cooperation in the military sphere too, and lately, analytics has been presented on this topic too painfully

[pig killer]

You are absolutely right: the basis of China's foreign policy is exclusively pragmatism. The Chinese are extremely tough on business. Wring out your interest as much as possible. The Chinese respect the US as a successful rival. Ideology is secondary to them. They are also obliged to love Russia. Therefore, relations with them should be built on the basis of pragmatism and a strategic perspective.

In the last 70 years, did the United States squeeze islands and annex them to its country?

No .. They just destroyed the countries .. Turned them into burial grounds ... That's all. By the way, why did you limit the validity period to 70 years?

If you do not limit the actions of the United States to 70 years, then you may not like this example. The Russian Empire was not created only with a "kind word" .I feel that today my unrestrained language will bring me to a ban. .

The Russian empire began to be created, because the neighbors were not averse to robbing, taking people into slavery and burning, which they could not carry away. Including Ermak’s campaign in Siberia was the result of the fact that patience with Russia ended because of the constant raids of the Siberian Khan Kuchum. Campaigns in Central Asia can be said to have been proactive. The British Empire was eager to spread the banquet with the looting of India and China to other regions. Russia clearly did not need such neighbors on the continent. By the way, they still hold anger at Russia for not having time to Siberia and Asia.

Only a "small" discrepancy: for the WHOLE historical period (where not "birch bark" letters and "South Chinese hieroglyphs in Mongolia") it turned out "for some reason" like this: NEVER EVER that "peaceful settlers" Chinese, but also Chinese army (no matter what you call it) not only did not seize something, but quite the opposite - LOST their territories.

:-) you read about the Caucasian wars, about Ermolov. Not the Germans came up with the scorched earth tactics. And at that time it was not the territory of the Russian Empire. Read books at least in the great Russian language and everything is written there. And just like in the USA, some were soldered and changed their furs for beads, others were killed and driven to Turkey, Syria, Jordan from their lands (which were not yet the territory of Russia). Well, plague blankets are not handed out of course ..

Those Chechens who left for Turkey during the time of Ermolov were there for the most part slaughtered by the Turks for their banditry and theft .. No state can tolerate such behavior on its territory ..

Someone put a minus to me for reporting the formation of the Russian Empire? Come on. Well let's discuss. I’m ready to talk about Ermolov, including, and about the actions of the Crimean and Astrakhan Khanates, about the origin of Slavic slaves in the markets of the East, for example. Are you ready to talk about the mores of the Caucasus of those times without censorship? Let's talk about the custom of stealing brides. Ready for a frank intimate conversation?

I’m not going to write about “chocks”, to denigrate someone or something, I am neutral towards all peoples and ethnic groups - it is obvious that there is no Paradise on Earth. But if you want to raise the “burning issues of history”, be prepared to face the truth.

[Mentat]

In the history of Russia and surrounding nations there has been rivalry, and strife, and alliances. For example, we fought with the ancestors of the Kazakhs, and fought shoulder to shoulder. Now it is not bashfully silent about that, as part of the Horde, Slavic troops fought in separate episodes, and our princes invited Horde detachments to participate in campaigns.
We lived with such wisdom as our understanding allowed us. I believe that we can become better. With such faith, I propose building together a house in which we can live, prospering, remembering history precisely as history, and not as an excuse for senseless feuds, as something that needs to be remembered in order to avoid mistakes made.
