The capture of the Far East by the Chinese is canceled
Chinese business came to Russia several decades ago. There are numerous myths about the goals of China in our country. It is believed that the Chinese are constantly increasing their presence in order to eventually “squeeze” the Far East and drink the entire Baikal. Moreover, this point of view is shared by Russian citizens who do not know the topic too well.
First of all, the Russian Federation is indeed of great interest to Chinese business because of its resources and as a sales market. In Russia, 5867 enterprises with “Chinese genes” are officially registered. For comparison, in the lead the economy The European Union of Germany “has a total” of 4677 companies, among which the owners are individuals or legal entities from the Middle Kingdom. However, among companies with Chinese participation in Russia, only 1616 have revenues of more than 100 rubles per year.
The largest number of firms with Chinese roots is registered in Moscow - 1946, in St. Petersburg there are 366, in the Primorsky Territory - 652 companies, and in the Amur Region 327 companies from China. In total, Chinese business is represented in 74 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, even in Chechnya, the Kaliningrad region, and on the Crimean peninsula. Chinese entrepreneurs have not disregarded 696 types of economic activity in Russia: from sewing handbags to car repairs in the Russian North.
It is noteworthy that there is no direct correlation between the negative economic situation in Russia and the entry of Chinese business into it. For example, a year before the turning point of 2014, 378 companies from China were registered in the Russian Federation, a year after it came 693 companies from China, and in 2017 already 702. Unlike the entrepreneurs from the Old World, frightened by American and European sanctions, small and medium business from the Middle Kingdom sees a prospect in the Russian market.
Big business from China comes to Russia through offshore companies such as Hong Kong, Singapore and a number of other exotic islands. Through offshore jurisdictions, I work with large suppliers of oil and gas products, electronics and household appliances. equipment. 80% of foreign direct investment from the People's Republic of China goes through offshore companies.
As for the fears of the Russian public about Chinese labor migration, they are greatly exaggerated. And the reasons for this are purely economic. After 2014, the use of Chinese labor in Russia became unprofitable due to the depreciation of the ruble. No matter how unpleasant it may seem, average wages in the Russian Federation are now lower than in China itself. In such conditions, the creation of manufacturing enterprises in our country is even more profitable for the Chinese than direct import.
It is more profitable for Chinese entrepreneurs to hire top managers and Russian personnel on the spot. Chinese businessmen entrust recruiting agencies to search for Russian personnel for their enterprises. The economic crisis caused by the events of 2014 made it possible for Chinese business to entice employees from European and American companies to work, who were forced to reduce or completely cease their presence in the Russian market.
Thus, as long as quotas for the use of foreign labor are maintained and the ruble is devalued, one can not be afraid of the "multi-million hordes" of the Chinese who will capture Russia from the inside.
