  • “Russia has really shrunken and is now essentially fighting for its life against its neighbour, Ukraine.”
    Xi Jinping is “lauding” Putin by holding China’s economic support over his head, says Danny Russell.

    Our economy is struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

      With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

      Not necessarily.
      China's economy not so splendid these days.
      Hundreds of thousands of their battery EVs sitting doing nothing except losing value as they sit in port storage areas across the planet.
      Cost to buy, insure, disappointing residuals and ever present threat of self igniting batteries certainly seem to be a huge disincentive to UK and US buyers.
      Plus US are planning to add 100% tariff on new Chinese cars.
      And if anyone can be arsed to search YT for China Observer or China Insider can see that battery EVs are not quite the thing.
      No idea who underwrites these sites but they don't toe the Chinese party line.

      few regions, but South China Sea has way more importance, obviously. When/if Russia collapses, it is basically up for the taking. In the end, Putin might even be willing to make a trade on it.
      It's not that much of a thing, really. Hoping they go to war, or get into conflict over it seems very unlikely in the near future. China is looking far ahead and takes its time. As for Putin...

      It depends on what you understand under " no loss for Russia"..
      100 of thousands Russian dead is no loss
      The Russian economy is going down and will not recover soon after the war is over. That's no loss...
      The reputation of Russia in the world is as bad as Germany after WW2. That's no loss.
      People in Russia can't improve their life in the coming decades. That's no loss.
      I can continue......

    One reason why China is not helping the Russians more is because only 10% of their export sales go to Russia. The bulk of their exports (I think it is around 60-75%) go to the US and EU. So, if they get slapped with sanctions, it will really hurt. On top of this, China is in the midst of a financial crisis, with foreign firms no longer investing in the country, massive real estate foreclosures and deflation (it is costing more to produce a product than they get for selling it). This has put China in a very precarious position financially, and they will have to play things very carefully going forward or they could fall off a financial precipice.

      The IMF base their figures on what a national government tells them. Russia has not been telling the truth to the IMF for some time.
      GDP is a measure of economic output. If Russia spends 100bn rubles extra this year on making ammunition, GDP will grow by 100bn rubles - even though that ammunition won't exist a few weeks later. Its when you ask where that 100bn rubles came from to spend, that the underlying collapse of the Russian economy becomes apparent. Russia's war economy is being held together by creative accountancy, printing rubles, not paying bills to internal customers, and the generosity of China in the terms of its barter exchange foroil and gas (at vastly below market value) giving in return some dual-purpose goods and soviet-era aircraft spares.

    I would like to see people involved in political commentary to point out and emphasize that the purpose of democracy is to hold the government accountable to the people. In a constitutional democracy no one is above the law. States that have autocratic govenrment have leaders who have no accountability to the people or to established law. Having leaders who have no accountability to the people they govern almost never works out well for the people of a country. Countries lead by people who have no accountability or respect for laws are a danger to their citizens, their neighbors, and to the world community at large. It does not seem that in the current political climate we can assume that everyone will understand that democracy is a necessarily a good thing. Many people need to be reminded why it is a good thing.

    Xi must be worried by the current real issues in the Chinese economy and knows China's thirst for strategic position, land and resources, especially water that China is really short of..
    All these things are available in China's historical huge province of Outer Manchuria that Mao wanted to reclaim and failed.
    Russia took the Northern part by military force in 1860 and Japan took the Southern part in 1931 and then lost it at the end of WW2 when the Red Army took it and decided not to return it to China.
    China's claim on Outer Manchuria is far, far stronger than Russia's claim on Ukraine and in the current power balance, China is a superpower, Russia is not and in a bad way, Xi has a very strong poker hand especially as Putin has come crying and begging for Chinese help!
    Even if Putin cannot cede the Far East yet and survive, China is pushing its influence Westwards into Central Asia, perhaps ready to take advantage if the Russian Federation breaks up like the 1991 Soviet Union did.
    If there is one thing that you can say about China and Xi is that they are strategic.

      Hopium and copium to the max! Putin has gone to China with most of his cabinet, military and economic! What’s happening is China knows the U.S. plans to attack it next year, so they want Russian military weapons help, the two being a big part of BRICS are busy setting up an alternative financial system to the U.S. dollar. That alone has the west pooping in its pants. A dollar collapse ends American power so the U.S. and its lackeys are doing everything they can to avoid it. The trouble is they are acting so stupidly everything they do is accelerating the process. The Russians and Chinese have each others back. Xi greeted Putin with my dear friend and lots of red carpet. Blinken got the deputy mayor of the town and no carpet….a studied Chinese message! China and Russia are helping each other not gouging each other.
      The U.S. is the master of mischief and it’s all backfiring mega!

      Before the Ukraine’s war, the relationship between Russia and China was feeble and no-one expect Iran and North Korea will join the ship. Now we see a robust and lethal alliances between them. Notably, these countries are adjacent so they can help each other at ease no matter how forceful sanctions might imposed by US and the West.
      When Ukraine war started, US failed to persuade India, Chine, South Africa, Brazil, ... to join the economical sanctions on Russia. Even the Indian foreign minister clearly stated "this conflict is not the world problem, it's US and the West problem..".
      Then when the Middle East war rages on, US continues backing Israel with its genocide against the Palestinians; thus becomes alone against the fury of the whole world ...
      Very sad to see US losing credibility more and more with such absurd foreign policies.

      You need to understand that growth. Russia has lost much of its income from foreign trade. Russia is using its savings to finance its factories to make stuff that gets blown up in Ukraine. Turning wealth into waste heat and scrap metal.

      You build a $1million tank. That's turned energy and material into something of value.
      A week later it's smoking scrap. Worth nothing. Adds no value BUT it needs to be replaced with another $1 million tank.
      So you now have $2 million worth of tanks?
      No.

      Russia is in war economy mode. By staking everything on rising military expenditure, the Kremlin is forcing the economy into perpetual war. On the one hand, that means it will be increasingly difficult for the state to continue financing the fighting in Ukraine without causing Russian living standards to deteriorate. On the other, if there is a reduction in military spending, it will inevitably lead to a significant structural shock that will take considerable time for Russia to overcome. Either way, it will be ordinary Russians who pay the price.

      Agree except for the perpetual war part. Without sufficient export income Russia will not be able to purchase the supplies they need to carry on a war for several years. To date, much of what they have used to invade Ukraine was left over from the Soviet Union.
      Much of Russia's wealth was being stored outside of Russia and it is now frozen. Russia will burn through its internal savings at some point and not be able to finance the factories making arms and ammunition. They won't have money to buy war goods from other countries.
