List of high-quality authors Before 2020, Russia rarely had ** exchanges with our country, which can also be seen from the data. In 2019, the amount of China and Russia was about 110 billion US dollars, but only 4 years later, in 2023, the amount of China and Russia will directly double, directly breaking through the 200 billion mark. So what caused Russia to start doing business with China? Can this kind of business last? Can Russia's economic status completely replace that of the United States and the West?
In the past, China and Russia have been tepid, and there are several main reasons:
First, Russia is to blame for the collapse of the Soviet UnionThe new Russia is very different from China in every way. It can be said that the two sides do not have a common topic.
Second, Russia was bent on integrating into the WestAfter all, their main ethnic group is European, so integration into the West is their only destination. Since this is the case, it must be unconcerned about the matter with China.
Third, the quality of China's goods in the past was unevenGive a very bad impression to the Russians. So they would rather buy European goods than Chinese goods.
It can be said that the third point is the general phenomenon of the private market. Before the turn of the millennium, there were indeed some quality problems with our domestic goods, which gave them a stereotype when they were infinitely magnified in Russia.
So much so that in the 20 years since, many Russians still equate Chinese goods with inferior quality. In such an environment, it is naturally difficult for China and Russia to get started.
However, as the quality of Chinese goods has become better and better, this stereotype has gradually improved. After trying to buy Chinese goods, many **people can't help but sigh: Oh my mother, the quality is really good, ** and cheap, it is really good and cheap!
One pass ten, ten spread hundreds, and after a long time, China and Russia will naturally prosper.
The Russia-Ukraine war, which began in 2022, has made Russia lose face in the international community. Their talkers were wanted, and they were kicked out of the international money clearing system, also known as SWIFT.
Even the ** between them and the United States and the West has been interrupted, and this is the most fatal thing. If you can't spend the rubles in your hand, you can't buy the goods you need. I don't see any problems in a short period of time, but after a long time, it's a big problem!
As a simple example, some parts of aircraft and medical equipment must be purchased from the original company. If the original company comes from the United States and the West, then it will be a big trouble, which may not be a big deal for Russia, but for some airlines and hospitals, it may be a catastrophe. Time will tell.
In this case, Russia must find an opportunity to find a way to spend the ruble, so that China and Russia will not start!
China's light industry is very developed and one of the best in the world. So, Russia can buy almost everything they want from China.
At the same time, China is a huge oil and gas consumption country, and its own production is not high, so it can also buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia. In this way, China and Russia have invisibly reached a certain complementarity.
Of course, the root cause of this is that Russia has lost its Western market and is forced to look for opportunities in the East. In fact, they have also tried to do it with India, and they are still doing it.
But India is a country with very backward light industry, so it is not able to supply the goods that Russia needs. Relatively speaking, the Chinese market is indeed Russia's first choice.
Since China and Russia are in full swing under the propaganda, what kind of scale has it reached? Let's take 2022.
In 2022, the total annual ** of China and Russia reached about 190 billion US dollars. What is this concept? We can look at the total amount of China and several other US and Western countries in 2022.
The United Kingdom is about $103.3 billion, France is about $110 billion, Germany is $320 billion, and the United States is $690.6 billion. Looking at this data, everyone must know what kind of grade is the ** between China and Russia now?
It is worth mentioning that many **advocate the end of the whole drama between China and the United States**, mainly because the total amount has been declining in recent years. But the problem is that the total amount is high, and no matter how it falls, there will be a ** amount of nearly 700 billion US dollars, which cannot be replaced by any country.
After reading the total, let's take a look at the **surplus. The so-called ** surplus is how much money I can earn from you, otherwise it is a deficit. To be honest, this is what we are most concerned about, who wants to do it for a long time in a loss-making business? There is no mine at home, so you can't learn from the attitude of Arab tyrants in doing business, right?
In 2022, China and Russia** will be in a deficit, and Russia will earn about $40 billion from us. Let's take a look at several other American and Western countries.
China has a surplus of $59.7 billion with the United Kingdom, $10.1 billion with France, $4.4 billion with Germany, and more than $370 billion with the United States.
It can be seen from this that we can still earn a lot of votes from the United States and the West, but we are losing money in trading with Russia.
Moreover, China's global surplus is 877.6 billion US dollars, making it the world's largest surplus country in 2022. Among them, the United States and Britain account for almost half of them, which shows that the United States and Britain are still our most important partners.
Don't think that we are wronged and keep giving blood to Russia. In fact, China also has a layout in Central Asia, and as long as the Central Asian energy market is open to China, then Russia is not the best choice.
The market is like this, human manipulation can last, and only a diversified and competitive market can have vitality. A simple exclusive business can only be prominent for a while, and it cannot last for a long time.
However, Russia has always regarded Central Asia as its sphere of influence, and they believe that the five Central Asian countries have no access to the sea and are purely landlocked countries. At the same time, the five Central Asian countries were also part of Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union in the past, so they should naturally be under the control of Russia.
In this way, the energy business of the five Central Asian countries should naturally not be decided by themselves. For this reason, just when China was planning to build another Central Asian route, Russia stood up and resolutely opposed it.
Russia called the five Central Asian countries to form a bureau, establish a gas alliance, and prohibit Uzbekistan from continuing to send natural gas to China. The natural gas of the five Central Asian countries must be sold to China through Russia, and Russia must extract tolls from it.
This is really a bit too domineering, I know that you are short of money, and I also know that you want to make money, but people also have to live, you can't be alone, no one else lives, right?
The market economy is naturally that those with good quality and low prices can get more markets, and if they want to do exclusive business unilaterally, this business will definitely not last long. For a long time, China has always hoped to have more cooperation with Central Asian countries, but it has always been blocked by Russia for various reasons, and it wants to get supplies from the East, and it is worried that the influence of the East on Central Asia is greater than its own.
Russia is not the only one in the world that sells oil and gas, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and even Qatar, which cannot replace Russia's position in China's energy share? No matter how domineering you are, you can't even block the energy exports of these countries, right? And, it's not the way to do business.
Sensei said that other countries have complaints, and even in Russia there are many voices opposing the strengthening of China and Russia. Why is this so? These opponents argue that the entry of Chinese goods into the Russian market has hit local businesses hard.
There is some truth in this, because China's commodities are still low, where can you reason? We have a group of the world's most hard-working people in China, coupled with the era of volume on volume, the quality of the product is first-class, the first is still low, looking at the world, it is really rare to find a second one.
The entry of such commodities into Russia in large quantities has made Russia's light industrial enterprises, which are not very developed and enjoy their success, instantly like a big enemy. If they don't change accordingly, it will be a matter of time before they go out of business.
Ordinary enterprises and ordinary people don't care what the national strategy, they can't earn money tomorrow, they can't pay off the mortgage and car loan, and the child has no money to buy milk powder, can you care about the national strategy of you people who come with your mouth closed?
Allowing the people to earn money and live a good life is the best way to stabilize people's hearts. On the one hand, a large amount of foreign exchange is filling the hole in military spending, and on the other hand, the tide of bankruptcy in the territory is coming, and the ordinary people are scolding.
