NI: Russia may lose by relying too much on China

3

National Interest experts analyzed the role of Russia in the world and noted that the country is increasingly strengthening its status as a great power and deepening ties with China. They see the mistake of the authorities of the Russian Federation in overly strong rapprochement with China and in neglecting the establishment of relations with Western countries.

Coronavirus pandemic strikes the economy. Nevertheless, Russia still remains a strong state, a bridge connecting the world's largest economies - the European Union and China. Russia ranks second in the world in terms of natural gas production and produces a third of all oil. It is a superpower with nuclear weapons and an educated workforce.



The Russian Federation has created a strong financial system, having accumulated more than one and a half trillion dollars of foreign exchange reserves. After a pandemic and a fall in oil prices, this can increase the resilience of the economy by reducing overdependence on one or more countries, such as China, or on industries such as oil and gas. Russia has strengthened its ties with China and brought them to the level of "comprehensive strategic partnership in a new era."

Close ties with China benefit the Russian Federation. But, according to the National Interest, for Russia it is the United States and Europe that are richer and more promising markets, and the country's authorities must rely on the West, not China, otherwise Russia may lose.

The West is interested in cooperation with the Russian Federation in solving global problems - from nuclear disarmament to climate change. Collaboration will improve if Russia globalizes and becomes more open. At the same time, the West is practically unable to influence the final choice of Moscow, they are confident in NI.

    Close ties with China benefit the Russian Federation. But, according to the National Interest, for Russia it is the United States and Europe that are richer and more promising markets, and the country's authorities must rely on the West, not China, otherwise Russia may lose.

    Interesting paragraph. It can be divided into 3 parts.
    1. The statement of fact -

    Close ties with China benefit the Russian Federation.

    At a minimum, the expansion and diversification of foreign trade.
    2. Bullshit -

    for Russia, it is the United States and Europe that are richer and more promising markets

    The share of the USA in trade is at the level of statistical error, and the USA is consistently introducing new restrictions. The same applies to the EU, whose "administration" is controlled by the United States; cooperation is rather developing at the level of individual countries. It is in this direction that we need to work.
    3. Wishlist -

    the country's authorities should rely specifically on the West, and not on China, otherwise Russia may lose.

    Shouldn't do anything. In general, the usual empty, boring "mantras".
    The following is an explanation.

    West is interested in cooperation with the Russian Federation in solving global problems - from nuclear disarmament to climate change. Collaboration will improve if Russia globalizes and becomes more open. At the same time, the West is practically unable to influence the final choice of Moscowsure in ni.

    The West needs Russia, but it needs it in a subordinate form, but it doesn’t work out and there are no levers of pressure. From here and all such lamentations.

    Russia can only rely on its indigenous population, and the sooner the Kremlin understands this, the better for them and Russia!
