Above all China is pragmatic. Russia is a declining power, thus China has no reason to bail Russia out, when China itself is more economically entangled with the EU and the US. China has a lot of debt to deal with and it would be insanity to help Russia out.
The Chinese elite also have a higher percentage of their wealth in foreign countries than the Russian elite. This is the real reason China won't to anything to risk real sanctions.
china has a debt problem when they hold 4,5 trillion dollars of usa debt? lol..........and if china has a problem then usa owing 22 trillions i guess its ok? lol....................
They won't even need to buy it. China is next to it. They just walk right in. Maybe have a little argument with India of whom will take the bigger part of Russia but we all know India as a peaceful nation so they will agree to a reasonable proposal without bloodshed. Bye bye Russia
Many Chinese migrants are moving to Siberia and the ethnic Russian population there is declining. If Russia balkanizes, China will just claim that land as part of its ancient territory.
Help? Or exploit? Russia's running out of trade partners, meaning that if this drags out long enough, Xi can buy resources at ROCK-BOTTOM prices. If I were China, I'd wait till they were absolutely at death's doorstep and then shake them down.
None is crazy enough to try to steal land from country with 7k nukes. Even US wouldn't do that. China has to help Russia because after Russia US will start provoking China
It might seem obvious that one authoritarian country would support another but economics matter more. I have to agree, China’s global economic network cannot afford a shakeup, not for an economy as small as Russia’s.
But will they get a shake-up tho? Or does the west still be too much of a coward to do anything, like this time Germany refuses to stop sending Russia money?
actually why doesnt China help out Russia?i mean China can make a stand and come out and say they are doing trade with Russia purely out of business and economic interests and has nothing to do with the war or current political situation,and pouring billions into Russia because they are interested in opening up more investment opportunities in Russia....and if USA continue sticking to their narrative of trying to make Russia a global pariah,China can say USA has gone mad and is the global pariah and dictator who decides what is right or wrong.....after all who appointed america as the judge and the redeemer of the world?and not only that accuse her of overstepping her boundaries and throwing her economic weight and might around especially against another superpower by imposing such grave and undue economic sanctions and blockades and freezing of her assets worldwide which tantamounts to a declaration of war as u are not only threathening their livelihoods and security but putting millions at risk.....and this is none of ur business.u are undermining the trust and stability of global financial systems.why should the 3 to 4 billion people in middle east,china and ex ussr and all the countries US invaded in the past trust ur garbage when u can literally turn those systems around and use it as a weapon against anyone whom u did is a political or economic enemy? and not only that call america out for her blatant hypocrisy and ask why did none of nato or UN countries sanctioned or declare a economic blackout or boycott of american companies and services for all her wars and invasions? this may be a proxy war,but China does not necessarily have to participate in it directly.....just 5 percent of China's economic might behind Russia would dont worry Russia we are behind u all the way!!!!!!!!the truth will prevail!!!!and may the hypocrites will burn in hell!!!!!

With 150k russian troops ready to invade, china makes a friendship pact with Russia, signs $117b trade deal, and spreads Russian propaganda- but China is shocked Russia invades? China knew.
China is now 'angry' at Putin for screwing up what would could have been a quick war but it turns to be a bloody mess of a war with no victor that is now drag the Chinese economy as well.
@3:50 the Chinese spokesperson complains that the previous US sanctions didn't solve any problem for Europe or Ukraine completely ignoring the fact that the Russian army couldn't get the funds to modernize and the result we see today, so thank god for that. Sanctions on Russia are working or you wouldn't be hearing them bitching about them "not working" so much, and it applies also to China claiming all the time the current US trade war is "not working".
US and UK are just using Ukraine as a battleground to weaken Russia. They don't give a single f about Ukraine. Even if Russia nkd every Ukrainian city they wouldn't go to war with Russia. Facts
Dude, the Russian army has not been "modernizing" only in the last 2 months lmao, those sanctions didn't do shit to the war, consequences will come with time
In some ways China and Russia seem natural allies, but in other ways they don’t. China prizes international stability. Putin is arguably the greatest source of international instability. China tries to grow it’s economy. Putin tries to cause chaos in “unfriendly nations” which happen to be all of China’s biggest trading partners.
@@marctemura2017Yeah. US put too much on China.That's why China needs to use Russia as a leverage against the US.Can't afford to lose Russia/Putin for now.
No they wont, China would rather loose Russia then loose the US. and EU markets. They make to much money to support a country whos economy is about the size of Spain (pre sanctions).
China will get into a similar situation as Russia (sanctions) if they invade Taiwan. Thus it would make sense for them to have a plan b that heavily involves Russia and non western countries. The video doesn't take worsening relations with the west and a reduction in trade into account that would definitely happen after an invasion of Taiwan.
Counterpoint: China feels threatened by the political alignment to democracy by the rest of the world. So they have an interest in supporting countries that use the same political system of themselves, to reduce political encirclement. And China can get resources from Russia for incredible discounts right now. So there are definite reasons why China may quietly choose to support Russia.
This is not 1940's anymore, not even 1980's. Doesn't exist "quietly" anymore. Just look at Ukraine. Everything the Russians do is literally found out in days if not hours
Would be much more profitable if China could just wait until the Russian Federation dissolves and smaller new countries appear and just invade and take them. Russian Federation is rotting away and it's just a matter of time before a new Siberian republic or smth else turns up. I'm sure the Chechens and Georgians, Kazachs and Uzbeks are just waiting for an occasion to get their own countries back. That's what you get for being a bully, karma. Now Russia will be dissolved :D
Fair point, but I think it's important to also remember what happened during the Cold War. While the communist countries were on allies at least on paper, they were never as close to each other as the western nations were. Whether Xi and Putin view each other the same way today as the nations did back then is up for debate, but I can guarantee you Xi is not happy to have such a larger, dangerous, and noisy neighbor, not to mention one who doesn't respect property lines. I imagine that after several years of being portrayed as the international boogeyman, China is very happy to let Russia have the limelight, and hopefully gain some karma as a neutral 3rd party promoting peace.
Xi Jinping to his advisors: What are the pros of the Russians being exclusively dependent on us when the West leaves? Advisors: Well Mr. President, Russia would be a Chinese vassal state. Xi Jinping: Hmmm… 🤔
Exactly: China should use Russia's desperate situation to get crapload of nuclear weapons and delivery systems from Russia. China has only ~300 warheads while Russia has 6000. And China might need a better deterrent in the nearing war with US.
Damn, this was a good education for a non-financial literate person! But working with china is dangerous. China needs to absorb the lesson that invading Taiwan would be a disaster for China economically. It is better to live rich, enjoy life, and work with different nations. Forget empire, make money, get laid, and fat.

Trading with Kennet Gibbs Was The greatest thing I ever did. I advise you to give him a try you will never regret it. I will always rate his signals as the the best i ever used….
I don't think Russia would want China to have that amount of leverage against them. Yes, they are allies, but it's a former communist country and a communist country. They know what each other are capable of, and their alliance isn't as solid as it would seem. I think it's a similar alliance to Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany before Operation Barbarossa in 1941.
As a Chinese, I couldn't agree more. We are friends with Russia just because US is putting pressure on China, we need someone to shoulder the US pressure. We still could not forget how the Russian took our land in 19th century.
Yes, untill they see them lose, then they'll switch sides. This is why they can't have allies. They're no different than Soviet Russia, Imperial Japan and Italy. With friends like that, who needs enemies.

Ok, So does this mean Russia will wind up in a similar position as North Korea when dealing with China. The long term implications here are actually scary assuming that we maintain status quo economic system.
Chinese still remembers how Russia treated the Chinese the caused the Sino Russo war. When China brings up "100 years of humiliation," that is not just aimed at the west. Good luck Russia.
Yes and no.Most of Chinese fear Russia more than US because it's too unstable and close. Business is priority for both China and US. Propaganda here is a tool to unite people. Same in the US. China and US are basically can't afford to lose each other .However both gald to see Russia being aggressive.Conquering west is just fear mongering propaganda.
Russia has (had) a GDP less than that of ......California. China would be insane to endanger US / EU markets to increase trade with Russia to any substantial level. Russia also has: Declining population. Decreasing life expectancy. Extremely poor rural populations. Russia only has: A massive petro chemical industry...with an infrastructure that was built and maintained by US / EU oil companies. Companies that are leaving Russia as fast as they can. That infrastructure will start to fail soon...and China could not replace it if they wanted to. Remember that Chinese plane that crashed? It was a Boeing 737. That airlines entire fleet is Boeing. Is China going to risk losing its airline fleet to sanctions to aid Russia?

China is in a dilemma. On the one hand all the calculations point to a loss if they try to prop up Russia. It is in China's economic interest to cut ties with Russia, let it sink, and commit to trade relations with the EU and US. BUT... also in China's calculation is that Russia is their strongest (militarily) ally. They have compatible (if not exactly similar) ideologies, and are (ideologically) arrayed against "western democracies". If Russia falls or is diminished, then China stands alone... against the US, NATO, AUKUS, and the QUAD. Yes, China can't afford to bail out Russia... but it doesn't want to lose its only (ideological) friend. That is their dilemma.
There was a line in a TH-cam video I watched once, where they described the pre-WWI alliance between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian empire as Germany giving them a "do-whatever-you-want-I'm-in-bro oath." I keep thinking about that wrt China and Russia, that China is making no such oaths.
Under Bismark and Kaiser Wilhelm I Germany was careful to avoid entanglements with problems Austria-Hungary had in the Balkans. As Bismark said "The next war will start because of some damn fool thing in the Balkans". With Bismark gone and Kaiser Wilhelm I nephew Wilhelm II on the throne Bismark's careful treaties were let to expire. -Nevertheless although Germany was prone to supporting Austria it was not unlimited. When Austria made demands upon Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand the Germans asked to see the demands and the Austrians flat out lied and said they hadn't written them yet. when they had already come back from Serbia agreed to except for 1 harsh point. The Germans would never have backed this bar Austrian lies. Note Wilhelm II loved Princess Sofie and Archduke Ferdinand and would drop everything when they were passing through Germany. When they were both assassinated it hit him very hard personally. -Note also the huge effort the Danish Royal Family put in to causing a war with Germany. In 1846 they went insane and tried to gain territory by having a war with Prussia. They lost but spent the next 60 years seeking revenge.
As well, if Russia is really weakened by the war, there's a part of Russia called *Outer Manchuria* that used to be Chinese and has a ethnic Chinese population, and it allows access to the Sea of Japan. China might decide to take it back.
Oh yes, sure, take it back. But beijing would be rubble. Also, if that would happen, we would start all out global nuclear war, so west doesn't win sht.
Why would the Chinese risk to start World War 3 over outer Manchuria. They would not only lose their strongest ally (with the worlds largest nuclear arsenal) but also access to Russia's resources that they desperately need. Furthermore, war between Russia and China would also give the west an opportunity to achieve their goals in the south China sea. Thus it would cause more problems then it is worth for China.
@@ibrahimmekonnen8259 As a Chinese, I would like to say that if Russia does not have nuclear weapons, China, Japan and Korea will join forces to drive the Russians back to Europe.

While it will take years to build the infrastructure for Russia to sell more natural resources to China, it will also take years for the Europeans to build their infrastructure for turning away from Russian natural resources. War is crap. China is right to stay neutral. It's always just about business with them. Some other countries could learn from that.
Staying neutral is simply letting the stronger side win. If you really want to stop war, sometime you have to fight. The best way to create peace is to let everyone know starting a war will get you punished.
@@cartman19892 that’s such a flippant comment people make with certainty… no it probably wouldn’t. Germany didn’t even manage to take Moscow due to weather conditions… but sure they’d of took over the entire planet if it wasn’t for the US/UK. Lol.
A French economist Jacques Sapir stated that we measure economies the wrong way. Russia economy based on gdp ppp before the sanctions was over 5 trillion dollars. Meaning Russia represent about 5 percent of the global gdp. Russia is also a commodity giant. Commodities like oils, metal, food products etc are exported from Russia into the global market. The ramifications of the sanctions will not only be felt by Russians but countries that import commodities from Russia. He also stated that western countries and their allies have an exaggerated economy. The service sector of EU countries and the USA are inflated. The west have been able to fool the world into believing that a large service sectors are the indicators of a developed economy. Industries and commodities are also needed to keep the world going. Without the inflated economies, China and Russia already have an economic output that rival both EUROPE and USA combined. The shift of industries from Europe and USA to China haven’t made a large impact on an average European and American but an average Chinese have become significantly richer. This will be detrimental to USA and Europe in the long run because their economies are surviving on debt. Commodities exporting countries are becoming smarter especially those in Africa. Countries like Dr Congo are banning cobalt export which will affect electric vehicles production. Ghana and Ivory Coast are reducing export of their Cocoa bean to Europe and now producing final products. Guinea have the largest bauxite reserves in the world. When the country had a coup, the price of bauxite and aluminum skyrocketed. The new military leader have given mining companies till May to open refineries and factories for bauxite processing in the country. The idea that commodities are insignificant in the world economy is flawed. Russians might not be able to access Netflix and McDonald’s, but commodity importing countries can’t do without Russian oil, gas, wheat, metals etc even if there are other sources for these commodities, it will be more than you are willing to pay.
You clearly don't know Europe and the tremendous industrial output of countries like the Netherlands, Germany or Italy, otherwise you would not be talking about "services" as if it was the only source of wealth for Europe. I do agree that the GDP measurements are inaccurate, but china's services value added to GDP already represents 55% of GDP and it grows almost 1 pp every year, in less than 10 years the Chinese GDP will be more dependent on services than Germany or Italy both at 63% and 66% respectively, as you can see, China is not what you think it is. China is a Service base Economy, it has been since 2015. Europe needs commodities/raw materials just as much as the rest of the world needs the finished goods that are made from those raw materials. Africa, Russia and everyone else can hold raw materials if they wish to do so, however, the consequence is not targeted to only one country, the consequence is global paralysis of the industrial system at a planetary scale and consequent global economic depression, or in case of non essential raw materials like cocoa, the death of the chocolate industry, at a global scale. good luck selling cocoa when the consumers have already been convinced to buy 10x cheaper corn-based artificial chocolate...
So, one French economist says this and now it's gospel truth. I am sure you can find 20 others who agree with him, and 20 who would disagree. That's why economics is called the "dismal science".

Netherlands export products are mainly machinery and transport equipments ( Which is not specified), chemicals and fuels ( which is imported from poorer countries and converted to finished products), foodstuffs( Agriculture can easily be substituted), clothing( I don’t even know what that is). Most of Netherlands export goes into the EU. Services represents 81% of Netherlands economy. Germany export products are mainly machinery and computers. Germany also imports most of its export products, so I am guessing Germany is a reexport economy because it seems like it. Most of Germany export go to USA and EU countries not third world countries where Germany gets it natural resources from. Services represent 74.3% of the German economy. Italy exports are mainly Engineering products, textiles and clothing, production machinery, motor vehicles, transport equipment, chemicals; foodstuffs, beverages, and tobacco; minerals, nonferrous metals. Italy basically export similar things to other European countries. I am starting to think most EU countries are reexport economy that survives on the value of euro. Italy services sector represents 73.9 percent of its gdp. Mind you, you said Africa and Russia can keep their resources, but the EU have gone to Nigeria for gas, Italy ran to Congo and Angola for gas import. Africa have to demand their gas to be paid in Naira, rand or their own currencies not euro. Euro have been propped up because Russia sells their resources to Europe in euro.

The interesting thing about the sanctions is that Russia is having trouble building tanks, planes and missiles, and making the spare parts required to keep these weapons operating. They rely on the US, Japan, Korea and Taiwan for electronic parts. Oops. And I don't think China produces the computer chips and electronics Russia needs for these weapons. So much for high tech weapons.
China makes most of the chips in the world. Most of the chips taiwan makes are only used in high end mobile phones. Certainly China can supply chips and electronics to Russia

Not to mention rasicim against ordinary Chinese people, even the tourists, by some xenophobic Russians. All in all, despite heavy government propaganda and cencership, the chinese people who had being working in Russia or studied in Russia, generally recommend their friends to stay away from it.

Everyone going by some line of pragmaticism on China's part because it has to be spoken of in the characteristics of a villain. But even if it was, I think what people who grew up with China only framed as the villain often miss is China's character. In China's perspective, it never condones offensive wars, and each of it's own conflicts is framed squarely in the idea that it's theirs. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang/Uighur, Diayutai/Senkaku are, whatever anyone thinks, squarely within historicity of its claims. China is consistent on this even when its not in China's favor: Bhutan, weaker and easier than Tibet, not claimed. Mongolia, was part of the Qing and the ROC, but the PRC gave it independence. North Korea, could have easily been claimed or even puppeted, but China didn't stay. Various interests in Africa threatened by Boko Haram/ISWAP, no foreign expeditions. Terrorist attack linkable to Pakistan, ask Pakistan, no foreign expeditions. Modern Russia has made no claim that Ukraine should belong to it. Russia taking a chunk out of another sovereign Nation it has no claim to does not fit within China's rules. If anything, this is something China itself fears the most, its entire history is prevailing in the face of invaders and its trauma is being torn apart by outside powers. Even if you consider Xi evil enough to condone Russia, and he does have an iron grip on the parliament as well as hardline supporters, China itself cannot beyond the usual tankies who still confuse Russia for the USSR. Voices of support are more in the spirit of loyalty, which is another characteristic China has to stick to. North Korea and Pakistan are not convenient allies, but they are brothers. So is Russia, so for better or for worse, the character of China has to walk this tightrope. On a more pragmatic scale, China has much of its wealth dependent on the World economy. This is by design, things like having wealth in US debt or the success of developing countries is China's unspoken guarantee that it's acting within a global accord. Russia does have its own excuses what with Special Military Operations for just enough deniability that China will do the usual "consider Russia's perspective, we should all be calm and not get drastic of condemning people" talk out of loyalty, as honor demands, but it won't stray into condoning foreign invasion.
The *REALITY* remains, democratic nations should stop trading with countries intent on undermining democracy. One can't have it's cake and eat it. You either cooperate fairly *OR* experience the consequences of your own state of consciousness...
That's a pipe dream. Economies would collapse and most people would be homeless if they couldn't afford to buy anything... I don't see how democracies collapsing into civil war is a solution as that would be handing autocracies a victory by default.
@@patbaptiste9510 Yours is incredibly childish to assume you can just stop trading in a globalized society. Say good bye to all technology and half of industry... its actually laughable.

India’s relationship with Russia is very complicated. Most of India’s arms purchases have come from Russia since many years ago. Many of India’s political interests are bound to Russia. This is doomed that India cannot stand on the opposite side of Russia.
I llked the statement a european high oficial made on taiwan every euro china bails russia out with, will met with a 2 euro investment into taiwans defense, ohh boy did they go on a rant yesterday and today lmao really struck a nerve i know this wont happen but good god wasnt expecting this kind of a tantrum
Putin is cooking his favorite dish, but nobody else even likes the smell of it. Those who didn't call him "friend" are already closing the doors and windows, his "friends" yet don't know what to do, but start to feel nausea.
Russia, in its declining days could've prevented this catastrophe that would simply accelerate their decline. Being close in relations to China, I honestly thought it's better off to Russia to be atleast a certain deputy superpower, helping each other in expanding their respective influences in ways and places known to them. While still maintaining a business with the West, earning whatever they can from their sale of natural gas and oil. But they pushed aside everything, rattling everyone now and going down further in an improved speed only.
And, Don't Be Surprised If China Invades Russia, Under The Guise That They Saved Ukraine From Destruction!?!! It would give them the oil that they Covet, the workers they already know how to manipulate, under the same Autocratic pressures they've been driven by for a Millennia!?!!
Why should China help country who is co-developing Indian Air Force sector and supersonic missile BrahMos? It's strange that nobody is talking about Indian increased volumes of oil purchased from Russia during war. The level of prejudice is insane here
From a western perspective: neither China nor India can be trusted, both countries would do what russia is doing if they had the chance and the courage to do it. however it was rather dumb for india to remain "partners" with russia after the invasion of Ukraine, specially considering that russia sees china as its preferential partner in the east, to russia, india is just an useful pawn that buys military equipment and some oil.
On the other hand .. some 3D-chess let's Russia expose to the world its weakness, deplete it's resources and ability to recover, while China can still pretend to be their "friend without limits", and China reaps benefit all around. Weaker Russia more dependent upon them, nearing a vassal state, stable connection with their bread & butter in the west, plausible deniability, and themselves left alone as America's only true competitor.

I've always wondered how a country with an economy smaller than the netherlands can sustain such a large armed forces. I think we're seeing it now. Russia is a food, oil and Gas superpower though so she remains relevant for now but in 50 years her population will plummet by 70-100 million.

Above all China is pragmatic. Russia is a declining power, thus China has no reason to bail Russia out, when China itself is more economically entangled with the EU and the US. China has a lot of debt to deal with and it would be insanity to help Russia out.
yes...that is the point ,china is pragmatic
they are aware that if russia is weakened iran will be the next target for americans,after it china
The Chinese elite also have a higher percentage of their wealth in foreign countries than the Russian elite. This is the real reason China won't to anything to risk real sanctions.

It might seem obvious that one authoritarian country would support another but economics matter more. I have to agree, China’s global economic network cannot afford a shakeup, not for an economy as small as Russia’s.
But will they get a shake-up tho? Or does the west still be too much of a coward to do anything, like this time Germany refuses to stop sending Russia money?
So very true
actually why doesnt China help out Russia?i mean China can make a stand and come out and say they are doing trade with Russia purely out of business and economic interests and has nothing to do with the war or current political situation,and pouring billions into Russia because they are interested in opening up more investment opportunities in Russia....and if USA continue sticking to their narrative of trying to make Russia a global pariah,China can say USA has gone mad and is the global pariah and dictator who decides what is right or wrong.....after all who appointed america as the judge and the redeemer of the world?and not only that accuse her of overstepping her boundaries and throwing her economic weight and might around especially against another superpower by imposing such grave and undue economic sanctions and blockades and freezing of her assets worldwide which tantamounts to a declaration of war as u are not only threathening their livelihoods and security but putting millions at risk.....and this is none of ur business.u are undermining the trust and stability of global financial systems.why should the 3 to 4 billion people in middle east,china and ex ussr and all the countries US invaded in the past trust ur garbage when u can literally turn those systems around and use it as a weapon against anyone whom u did is a political or economic enemy?
and not only that call america out for her blatant hypocrisy and ask why did none of nato or UN countries sanctioned or declare a economic blackout or boycott of american companies and services for all her wars and invasions?

With 150k russian troops ready to invade, china makes a friendship pact with Russia, signs $117b trade deal, and spreads Russian propaganda- but China is shocked Russia invades? China knew.
He even got Switzerland to pick a side 🤣
Well China ain't happy knowing 60% of wheat import from Ukraine have stop, no thanks to Russia and having so call friendship pact didn't help.
And strangely enough, China is now using rubels to buy gas
China is now 'angry' at Putin for screwing up what would could have been a quick war but it turns to be a bloody mess of a war with no victor that is now drag the Chinese economy as well.
@3:50 the Chinese spokesperson complains that the previous US sanctions didn't solve any problem for Europe or Ukraine completely ignoring the fact that the Russian army couldn't get the funds to modernize and the result we see today, so thank god for that.
Sanctions on Russia are working or you wouldn't be hearing them bitching about them "not working" so much, and it applies also to China claiming all the time the current US trade war is "not working".
US and UK are just using Ukraine as a battleground to weaken Russia. They don't give a single f about Ukraine. Even if Russia nkd every Ukrainian city they wouldn't go to war with Russia. Facts
sanctions don't work just look at North Korea, Also Russian army modernization has more to do with internal corruption than sanctions lol.

In some ways China and Russia seem natural allies, but in other ways they don’t. China prizes international stability. Putin is arguably the greatest source of international instability.

China will get into a similar situation as Russia (sanctions) if they invade Taiwan. Thus it would make sense for them to have a plan b that heavily involves Russia and non western countries. The video doesn't take worsening relations with the west and a reduction in trade into account that would definitely happen after an invasion of Taiwan.

@@ibrahimmekonnen8259 why sanction didnt happen when west invade Iraq Afghan Libya Syria?
Wrong, china needs Russia resources such as weeds, barley,oil, gas and etc
Counterpoint: China feels threatened by the political alignment to democracy by the rest of the world. So they have an interest in supporting countries that use the same political system of themselves, to reduce political encirclement. And China can get resources from Russia for incredible discounts right now. So there are definite reasons why China may quietly choose to support Russia.
This is not 1940's anymore, not even 1980's. Doesn't exist "quietly" anymore. Just look at Ukraine. Everything the Russians do is literally found out in days if not hours
Would be much more profitable if China could just wait until the Russian Federation dissolves and smaller new countries appear and just invade and take them. Russian Federation is rotting away and it's just a matter of time before a new Siberian republic or smth else turns up. I'm sure the Chechens and Georgians, Kazachs and Uzbeks are just waiting for an occasion to get their own countries back. That's what you get for being a bully, karma. Now Russia will be dissolved :D
Fair point, but I think it's important to also remember what happened during the Cold War. While the communist countries were on allies at least on paper, they were never as close to each other as the western nations were.
Whether Xi and Putin view each other the same way today as the nations did back then is up for debate, but I can guarantee you Xi is not happy to have such a larger, dangerous, and noisy neighbor, not to mention one who doesn't respect property lines.
I imagine that after several years of being portrayed as the international boogeyman, China is very happy to let Russia have the limelight, and hopefully gain some karma as a neutral 3rd party promoting peace.

China is in a dilemma. On the one hand all the calculations point to a loss if they try to prop up Russia. It is in China's economic interest to cut ties with Russia, let it sink, and commit to trade relations with the EU and US. BUT... also in China's calculation is that Russia is their strongest (militarily) ally. They have compatible (if not exactly similar) ideologies, and are (ideologically) arrayed against "western democracies". If Russia falls or is diminished, then China stands alone... against the US, NATO, AUKUS, and the QUAD.
Yes, China can't afford to bail out Russia... but it doesn't want to lose its only (ideological) friend. That is their dilemma.
Being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
There was a line in a TH-cam video I watched once, where they described the pre-WWI alliance between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian empire as Germany giving them a "do-whatever-you-want-I'm-in-bro oath." I keep thinking about that wrt China and Russia, that China is making no such oaths.
Under Bismark and Kaiser Wilhelm I Germany was careful to avoid entanglements with problems Austria-Hungary had in the Balkans. As Bismark said "The next war will start because of some damn fool thing in the Balkans". With Bismark gone and Kaiser Wilhelm I nephew Wilhelm II on the throne Bismark's careful treaties were let to expire.
-Nevertheless although Germany was prone to supporting Austria it was not unlimited. When Austria made demands upon Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand the Germans asked to see the demands and the Austrians flat out lied and said they hadn't written them yet. when they had already come back from Serbia agreed to except for 1 harsh point. The Germans would never have backed this bar Austrian lies. Note Wilhelm II loved Princess Sofie and Archduke Ferdinand and would drop everything when they were passing through Germany. When they were both assassinated it hit him very hard personally.
-Note also the huge effort the Danish Royal Family put in to causing a war with Germany. In 1846 they went insane and tried to gain territory by having a war with Prussia. They lost but spent the next 60 years seeking revenge.

As well, if Russia is really weakened by the war, there's a part of Russia called *Outer Manchuria* that used to be Chinese and has a ethnic Chinese population, and it allows access to the Sea of Japan.
China might decide to take it back.
Oh yes, sure, take it back. But beijing would be rubble. Also, if that would happen, we would start all out global nuclear war, so west doesn't win sht.
Finland might decide to take back 10% of their territory it gave to USSR under threat.
Why would the Chinese risk to start World War 3 over outer Manchuria. They would not only lose their strongest ally (with the worlds largest nuclear arsenal) but also access to Russia's resources that they desperately need. Furthermore, war between Russia and China would also give the west an opportunity to achieve their goals in the south China sea. Thus it would cause more problems then it is worth for China.

Finally, somebody gets it right. Nice take, Kid. We'll pay it forward.
A French economist Jacques Sapir stated that we measure economies the wrong way. Russia economy based on gdp ppp before the sanctions was over 5 trillion dollars. Meaning Russia represent about 5 percent of the global gdp. Russia is also a commodity giant. Commodities like oils, metal, food products etc are exported from Russia into the global market. The ramifications of the sanctions will not only be felt by Russians but countries that import commodities from Russia. He also stated that western countries and their allies have an exaggerated economy. The service sector of EU countries and the USA are inflated. The west have been able to fool the world into believing that a large service sectors are the indicators of a developed economy. Industries and commodities are also needed to keep the world going. Without the inflated economies, China and Russia already have an economic output that rival both EUROPE and USA combined.
The shift of industries from Europe and USA to China haven’t made a large impact on an average European and American but an average Chinese have become significantly richer. This will be detrimental to USA and Europe in the long run because their economies are surviving on debt.
Commodities exporting countries are becoming smarter especially those in Africa. Countries like Dr Congo are banning cobalt export which will affect electric vehicles production. Ghana and Ivory Coast are reducing export of their Cocoa bean to Europe and now producing final products. Guinea have the largest bauxite reserves in the world. When the country had a coup, the price of bauxite and aluminum skyrocketed. The new military leader have given mining companies till May to open refineries and factories for bauxite processing in the country. The idea that commodities are insignificant in the world economy is flawed. Russians might not be able to access Netflix and McDonald’s, but commodity importing countries can’t do without Russian oil, gas, wheat, metals etc even if there are other sources for these commodities, it will be more than you are willing to pay.
You clearly don't know Europe and the tremendous industrial output of countries like the Netherlands, Germany or Italy, otherwise you would not be talking about "services" as if it was the only source of wealth for Europe.
I do agree that the GDP measurements are inaccurate, but china's services value added to GDP already represents 55% of GDP and it grows almost 1 pp every year, in less than 10 years the Chinese GDP will be more dependent on services than Germany or Italy both at 63% and 66% respectively, as you can see, China is not what you think it is. China is a Service base Economy, it has been since 2015.
Europe needs commodities/raw materials just as much as the rest of the world needs the finished goods that are made from those raw materials. Africa, Russia and everyone else can hold raw materials if they wish to do so, however, the consequence is not targeted to only one country, the consequence is global paralysis of the industrial system at a planetary scale and consequent global economic depression, or in case of non essential raw materials like cocoa, the death of the chocolate industry, at a global scale. good luck selling cocoa when the consumers have already been convinced to buy 10x cheaper corn-based artificial chocolate...
So, one French economist says this and now it's gospel truth. I am sure you can find 20 others who agree with him, and 20 who would disagree. That's why economics is called the "dismal science".

Great legacy from ww2.
When Germany ran out of the materials to make Coca-Cola the produced a fizzy orange drink the we in Europe now know as Fanta orange.
@@pedrolopes3542 Ok so I googled about Netherlands, Germany and Italy’s export. Netherlands export products are mainly machinery and transport equipments ( Which is not specified), chemicals and fuels ( which is imported from poorer countries and converted to finished products), foodstuffs( Agriculture can easily be substituted), clothing( I don’t even know what that is). Most of Netherlands export goes into the EU. Services represents 81% of Netherlands economy.
Germany export products are mainly machinery and computers. Germany also imports most of its export products, so I am guessing Germany is a reexport economy because it seems like it. Most of Germany export go to USA and EU countries not third world countries where Germany gets it natural resources from. Services represent 74.3% of the German economy.
Italy exports are mainly Engineering products, textiles and clothing, production machinery, motor vehicles, transport equipment, chemicals; foodstuffs, beverages, and tobacco; minerals, nonferrous metals. Italy basically export similar things to other European countries. I am starting to think most EU countries are reexport economy that survives on the value of euro. Italy services sector represents 73.9 percent of its gdp.
Mind you, you said Africa and Russia can keep their resources, but the EU have gone to Nigeria for gas, Italy ran to Congo and Angola for gas import. Africa have to demand their gas to be paid in Naira, rand or their own currencies not euro. Euro have been propped up because Russia sells their resources to Europe in euro.
@@jaybee4577 Fascinating. Wish I knew more economics. It sounds right to me (living in Sweden) that most European countries are re-export countries (I see "Designed in Finland, made in China" on my very latest purchase). Europe packages, brands, and re-exports, yeah. But I'll need to find out how the power of the Euro plays into this!

The "world" has watched the USA invade countries for 50 years in service of its own interests. It has tortured people in black sites and Guantanamo, used sanctions to starve populations and Biden is withholding foreign reserves of Afghanistan's worsening a famine there. USA has toppled legitimately elected gov's it doesn't like, exempted its actions (2nd gulf war, war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan such as droning weddings, villages and aid workers) while holding Russia to account.

Theres no such thing as loyalty in international relations. Your allies will only help you if the benefits to doing so outweigh the potential costs.

Good morning to everyone..i am glad to share this space with you. I AM Glad to see so many positive thoughts from all over the world. Much ❤️ and respect to every one. Regardless of.our opinions.
The interesting thing about the sanctions is that Russia is having trouble building tanks, planes and missiles, and making the spare parts required to keep these weapons operating. They rely on the US, Japan, Korea and Taiwan for electronic parts. Oops. And I don't think China produces the computer chips and electronics Russia needs for these weapons. So much for high tech weapons.
Does Putin know this? Or has he gone mad?
China makes most of the chips in the world. Most of the chips taiwan makes are only used in high end mobile phones. Certainly China can supply chips and electronics to Russia

If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, she would have been able to keep so much - we would all be afraid from her military and influence over natural resources' prices and she would still isolate Ukraine in the corner. Now we all now Russia's military is not so strong, we can without her resources and Ukraine is being constituted as a nation.
How is it not so strong. Russia is fighting all of the west at once and holding on. US lost to the Taliban and all they have is AK-47.

eliminating tariff on Chinese goods was not a good gesture rather to slow US inflation
In fact Chinese investment into Russia besides the energy sector had steadily shrinking during the years. Russia is really not very welcoming to Chinese investments.
Many organized crime groups target Chinese businessman there for robbery, ransom, kidnapping, you name it. A lot of small Chinese merchants selling cheap clothes there got their shopes set on fired by logal gangs. Not to mention rasicim against ordinary Chinese people, even the tourists, by some xenophobic Russians.
All in all, despite heavy government propaganda and cencership, the chinese people who had being working in Russia or studied in Russia, generally recommend their friends to stay away from it. Now, it is only the government doing the investments due to political reasons. And some brainwashed Chinese who had never being to Russia would buy some russian candies now as a guesture of support, being lead by the propaganda machine.

The Chinese oil and gas companies all have one single owner: Jiang Zemin. The rather absurd lockdown in Shanghai is an extension of that power struggle between Xi Jinping and Jiang Zemin because Jiang's power base is in Shanghai. Heck, Xi's anti-corruption drive when he took power was partly targeted at Jiang's supporters and colleagues. Normally, the Chinese CDC would be in the driver's seat when it comes to dealing with COVID outbreaks but Xi is the one driving the COVID response in Shanghai.

why china buy them from Russia when china can produce all kinds of weapons independently and not inferior to other countries?
@@user-in5kc9eu8b I think you’re in delusion. China still has to buy from Russia and reverse engineer. Or they steal the designs (e.g. F-35) from the West. China does not have the indegenious design capability. It only has the manufacturing and “copying” capability.

China won't have to do it alone, India is also helping bail out the Russian economy
India isnt much of a trade partner i think. I think the only real business was arms.
India's economy is 5 times smaller than China and 7 times smaller than the USA so it's the power it's power is negligible, China has a smart government unlike India and it will not risk its economy to bail out Russia.
India is a up and coming economy it can't help much
India Russia trade is Just around 10 billion usd, which is mostly weapons and some small stuff
Even currently Tata steel also stopped working with Russia. So it's not gonna be too much. So the Russias Ship will probably sink.
Wow, China and India make very strange allies!
Looking forward to the next video!
Everyone going by some line of pragmaticism on China's part because it has to be spoken of in the characteristics of a villain. But even if it was, I think what people who grew up with China only framed as the villain often miss is China's character. In China's perspective, it never condones offensive wars, and each of it's own conflicts is framed squarely in the idea that it's theirs. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang/Uighur, Diayutai/Senkaku are, whatever anyone thinks, squarely within historicity of its claims. China is consistent on this even when its not in China's favor: Bhutan, weaker and easier than Tibet, not claimed. Mongolia, was part of the Qing and the ROC, but the PRC gave it independence. North Korea, could have easily been claimed or even puppeted, but China didn't stay. Various interests in Africa threatened by Boko Haram/ISWAP, no foreign expeditions. Terrorist attack linkable to Pakistan, ask Pakistan, no foreign expeditions.
Modern Russia has made no claim that Ukraine should belong to it. Russia taking a chunk out of another sovereign Nation it has no claim to does not fit within China's rules. If anything, this is something China itself fears the most, its entire history is prevailing in the face of invaders and its trauma is being torn apart by outside powers. Even if you consider Xi evil enough to condone Russia, and he does have an iron grip on the parliament as well as hardline supporters, China itself cannot beyond the usual tankies who still confuse Russia for the USSR.
Voices of support are more in the spirit of loyalty, which is another characteristic China has to stick to. North Korea and Pakistan are not convenient allies, but they are brothers. So is Russia, so for better or for worse, the character of China has to walk this tightrope.
On a more pragmatic scale, China has much of its wealth dependent on the World economy. This is by design, things like having wealth in US debt or the success of developing countries is China's unspoken guarantee that it's acting within a global accord. Russia does have its own excuses what with Special Military Operations for just enough deniability that China will do the usual "consider Russia's perspective, we should all be calm and not get drastic of condemning people" talk out of loyalty, as honor demands, but it won't stray into condoning foreign invasion.

Russia, in its declining days could've prevented this catastrophe that would simply accelerate their decline.
Being close in relations to China, I honestly thought it's better off to Russia to be atleast a certain deputy superpower, helping each other in expanding their respective influences in ways and places known to them.
While still maintaining a business with the West, earning whatever they can from their sale of natural gas and oil.
But they pushed aside everything, rattling everyone now and going down further in an improved speed only.
Good points. However, Russians want to have a Europe which leaded by themselves. Sadly Europeans or US never consider Russia is belong to west.
