[000:00:00;00] they made me cry when they were elected as the head of the government. well, emotionally, but then he's not gay, at least not openly . to hide in a bunker with someone and if he lives in a bunker with someone in a church, you understand, brothers, then what kind of traditional values, what is he teaching you, and who is he teaching you? that is, this is a huge question. i would certainly like to have an answer to it but not so much. to be honest, russian politicians, in particular, putin, were a little shaken in bed. now let's return to more serious topics. china refused to sign a statement on the withdrawal of russian troops from ukraine, and at the meeting of the twenty , china and russia, respectively, did not sign this

statement. vitaly, the chinese will do it in order not to leave russia isolated in this sense, nor will the chinese do it in order to show that it is simple, it is opposed by the united states of america. countries which in principle do not condemn russia for the war in ukraine and which are partners of russia and china in brics, this is brazil, this is south africa, this is india, first of all, which was the host of this meeting, the leadership of india has never condemned russia, as the prime minister of india used to say vladimir putin publicly says that in the 21st century this is not the time for war, it is true, but at the same time it

is officially russia. a good question arises, why do they want to sign this resolution then, because they are trying to balance between china, russia and the united states, and in india and brazil and in south africa , the united states have good relations, primarily economic, they do not want to appear as enemies of the united states, they do not want to be enemies of russia, go but the united states is also therefore ready to sign a similar decision, it was and during the meeting of the minister of finance, it was repeated during the meeting of the minister of foreign affairs 20 when there will be subsequent meetings, all this will be repeated. they know that the resolution will not be adopted, but they do

not want to speak directly against it. in the un general assembly. goal what would china risk if it behaved like india at the meeting of the twenty-somethings, nothing would have been decided anyway, russia alone would be enough, but china will need time to be close to russia because that all our illusions that china can take a neutral position in this war they will very soon be refuted by reality china will not take a neutral position he will not allow russia to fall as much as he has a chance to do so he will prepare for western sanctions this year he will supply russia with lethal weapons , at least as they will be supplied, i will buy drones in iran, supply them in russia , or else i will do it, i will conclude

an agreement in advance, no drones and i will not deliver them because it is early. it just might not happen, but then these drones will appear in russia , they will say that they are the iranian people , there will be different schemes, and when china is accused, they will say, we angrily deny, we are not going to, we said, we are not going to support anyone these wars and this is the united states, in order to worsen our economic situation, they want to do everything possible to compromise us in front of the world and to introduce anti-nationalism and to force europe to introduce anti-nation, ask the people today, the republic said that despite all the differences against the war, the european union is going to war for the strategic partner of the people's republic of china. it is very difficult for the europeans right now. they are going through another drug bust . first they had to develop

relations with russia. and now they will have to break relations with china, and it is almost impossible for them to do that. from an economic point of view, because there will be a crisis and there will be a recession, but i always said that you will have to drink this cup to the bottom with this poison if you establish a relationship of dependence on dictatorial regimes, expect huge problems, this also affects us. we will also have serious problems. all our hopes are that someone there will talk to the chinese that next week will meet with zelenskyi, that he will be a mediator of myrny in the process. these two do not need a mediator . he can and does not want ukraine to disappear from the political map of the world, like putin, in principle, everything is equal for him on this map of ukraine or not, he is neutral here, but he needs russia to prove that it can to protect his interests in the fight against the west. this is what he needs, russia, a dictatorial regime, or to demonstrate that such regimes

can exist, to demonstrate that dictatorships are more effective than democracy and to demonstrate that democracies should not interfere in the matter of dictatorship. and to demonstrate that he can weaken the west even by himself they don't do anything, it's like in a fairy tale, i'll send my younger brother against you, and he'll be sitting, why won't i, you look at me, if i come , you'll just scan, but let the smoke and the younger brother for putin, this is a tool for weakening the west , and most importantly, they say that china is very interested in russia weakening, what does he want and why are they abandoning the territory of russia? he is not so practical. now he has all the opportunities for economic cooperation with russia for expansion . in order to settle its citizens in russia with legal rights, he will receive all this. there is no need to even doubt that this

will happen, and moreover, it is not connected with the weakening of russia, this is generally a logical economic process if russia is any democratic authoritarian in general i want to develop the far east and siberia, so who will do it, you and i, no ukrainians are finished for this green wedge, yellow wedge, well , they did not have enough human resources for this, the only opportunity to develop the economy of siberia and the far east is the union of china with such as it is and that russia is a dictatorship and china is a dictatorship - this is organic cooperation, problems will arise if russia becomes a democratic chinese state therefore , this china will never allow the democratization of russia, of course and how will they hide that it is china that supplies the weapons, or rather they will pretend that it is iran, because now in the xxi century, and by the numbers on each drone, you can determine who is the manufacturer and so on

, but the west says that we know that these are your friends, they will also say they will deny what it is, that it is a geranium, and then the west will be faced with a difficult and difficult choice: whether to introduce sanctions or not. so, what are we introducing ourselves to ? electronics chips, all of this will have to be transferred from china. i am very interested in what the cost of the iphone will be if it is collected not in in china and in germany or in japan, will everything be collected in taiwan ? well, again, will there be enough resources? god will be with them with iphones. in the end, it is really possible to build several factories in taiwan. is it possible somewhere else that somehow they lived with taiwanese products when there was no china, but

here i am. all the time i think about textile factories , about everything that was completely destroyed in europe at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. the cities that have always been the flagships of the textile industry disappeared , and all this was moved to china. under certain conditions, take the place of china , the population is the same, the price of work is just as low, and the quality must be checked, that there are quality issues, well, that is, there are

many such issues. i do not understand at all why we cannot agree with this opinion that it's time for europeans to start working at such enterprises as well, isn't it possible that europeans who always sewed the best things that were of high quality textile industry clothes this was all the glory of france, italy, portugal , greece why can't they not only develop models and also go well, you have to understand that so it will be. well, we can postpone it for any amount of time, then we have to remember that during the time that passed there from the closure of textile factories in europe to the opening of china, having passed the time of automation of work, we can start it to rebuild and suddenly realize that we do not need such a number of workers, but the number of workers who will service all these machines. it is simply based on the number of people

optimization optimization already receive as much as it receives thousands gave 10,000 chinese workers to the optimized factory it can also be besides that there is also a moment that you see that every year the cost of labor in china increases because people no longer want to work for 50 cents a month, well, it is also different factories that are cheaper where there the fabric is not so high quality and the workers are cheaper and there is a good katai such factories that are valued in fact that feel for very luxury brands of course it is right but you feel for luxury brands but these are luxury brands they are the ones you know you can also buy this thing from luxury brand, because i am still in china. and if it is sewn in italy, you simply will not buy it, because it will be at a completely different price . you will have to pay

an italian tailor. a social package because there is a pension fund because there is a tax because there is a hospital ani this woman wants to live with dignity or a man who will sew for you and the chinese, unfortunately, are not asked. i hope that someday they will ask this too. by the way, it will be a problem for the world economy but now they don't really ask. that's the difference and it turns out that this woman is italian . she now works in the office. she works. i don't know in it technologies. she does some other job. she could be a worker at this textile factory. well, or a man who worked in such a tailor's workshop. that's all. i always remember that it was all real. all these famous cities, the centers of the textile industry, simply disappeared from the map of europe.

what is left is a memory, well, this is a good, good illustration of what was announced in the white house, however , that putin's war in ukraine has complicated china's relations with the world, to what extent does this correspond to reality in your opinion, because here you are now they have drawn such a scenario according to which, in principle, china will feel absolutely normal if russia wins. if russia resists, and at least somewhere in the west of ukraine , it will feel normal to feel good because there will be sanctions because there will be a drop in the economic level. china is already in a rather difficult situation in in connection with the fact that he announced a policy of zero tolerance for the coronavirus and we, by the way, now we begin to understand why he announced the policy because he could

be afraid that this coronavirus really i said former president trump, the chinese virus. as it turned out now, as it turned out, there is no accurate information , but they say so more confidently, and this means that china's economy has fallen significantly, and you can see that china has only just opened the country and has not yet opened it to its own citizens . now it is necessary to return what was before 2020. 121 if there are still sanctions now , however, they may be against large corporations, they may not be against the entire economy, but simply against some corporations of the metallurgical industry against a corporation of some of the military-industrial complex, about some kind of targeted sanctions against the members of the leadership of the central committee of the communist party of china, all this will of course be reflected on the economic level, and there will be no investment in growth, just be afraid, first , european companies will be afraid, then

they will be afraid of e- bogorod-american companies will then be european companies, neighboring countries will begin to play to weaken the chinese economy, first of all india, which has such opportunities, then japan will try to take advantage of this situation to weaken china for japan, the question of weakening china is a question of political national survival , and china perfectly understands that all competitors will immediately fly away, who absolutely do not need it to grow there, who are now playing the role of its great friends there, but will cease to be them on the first day of sanctions, and this we can also name the country there, indonesia , malaysia, all these countries can intercept all these enterprises that will not be able to work in china, china will need everything that china

is ready to put the economy on the scales mine policy supporting russia and thus the war. i generally believe that the re-election of sidzempin for an unprecedented third term to the post of general secret of the central committee of the party of okna to the post of chairman of the people's republic of china was a rather serious blow to the fc of chinese prudence. worked for two cadets must cede power to another generation and to a person who will choose the generation herself. moreover, just these days with literally everything now in session chinese council of people's representatives will resign, the prime minister of the doctor, who was always considered a prudent alternative to

zenping, who was even considered a possible successor to cd if everything went according to tradition. he has served two terms, he is now with all the norms of tradition, which seed is no longer spreading, he will leave his post as the new prime minister, there will be someone who will be nominated by these dynpins and who will be obliged by his power personally to him, because the prime minister was not obliged, we can have some replacement elected at the same time for this term by the top leadership of the party, because in a partner and not a sovans, the new head of the government will not behave like this and behave in the current one all the bells and whistles will not say that there may be problems in the economy, that is, he will say what they want to hear, and this will be the same situation that will happen with putin , all the stars will simply say that the head of the chinese government must minimize the risk

this is also a very serious moment and i believe that a situation may arise when the sitze-infin will think that for him political gain is more important than the economic future, this may be so. unfortunately, it is also interesting about the allies of russia that anthony brinken is so in central asia and is currently on tour with it started on february 28. i have already been to kazakhstan, as far as i remember, and uzbekistan, and it should also visit turkmenistan . no, i don't think so. it's interesting because i don't remember that it is read in the state territory at all, we once visited uh, we can talk , i just returned in relation to kazakhstan and the protection of the leaders of the five masters of foreign affairs of central asia with blinkin and there were

ministers of uh, foreign affairs er, the state of turkmenistan and tajikistan, but he did not go to the country. see, the secretary of state of the united states generally visits two countries during his osmotic tradition . pompeo was also in kazakhstan . norris was in kazakhstan, uzbekistan. in general, it looks like once in a while, the secretary of state of the united states goes to central asia, holds meetings with the presidents of kazakhstan and uzbekistan and holds a meeting in the 5 + 1 format of kazakhstan , uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan , tajikistan, turkmenistan and the united states. the peculiarity of this meeting was that it was against the background of the war. what was more special was what happened after the damn visit after the damn visit to the president of kazakhstan kasim zhaman takayev the next day after linkin flew out of

tashkent, the president of kazakhstan flew to chumky shymkent is a city on the border between e.e. kazakhstan, uzbekistan, a couple of hours from tashkent, and the president of uzbekistan came there so that they could have a meeting about which nothing is known, that is, after each of them had a conversation with the american secretary of state , they met with each other, and this is not a coincidence , that is, something there was such a thing that they could not discuss even there in some secure connection, they needed to meet, they both went to the border in fact, and this was also a very interesting moment for me, because such he could for his people who so easily won't go anywhere so blinken told each of them something important that they had to talk to each other, it is obvious that the main moment that

was in this conversation was the moment that kazakhstan uzbekistan through its companies and sources, etc., help russia bypass them themselves, in general, russia has practically bypassed, as western observers believe, the economic and managed to restore all supply chains of prohibited goods, including those needed for the production of military equipment. it's simple it must be understood, but these are certain countries through which it receives these technologies, and different countries can set this receipt differently , countries like turkey, of course, can limit such relay chains, fearing that they will be problems with the event , especially since the member in kazakhstan is more connected relations with russia because it is part of the eurasian union until now, and uzbekistan is not included anywhere along with this. after russia became the president of this country in kapman, relations between moscow and tashkent improved significantly.

got closer to each other because his predecessor, islam karimov, tried to keep his distance. well, i think that these were not just proposals, they were also messages about what could happen if kazakhstan and uzbekistan participate in these schemes, and it is beneficial for them to take participation in these schemes because of kazakhstan, for example, directly. i think that it is profitable because it is money that can go into the wallets of the government, it is not just that, it is intermediary schemes and one way or another, the government can make money from it , specific people can make money from it earn, but all these specific people, all these elites, all these businessmen who are close to them, they all have accounts there in the west and there it could simply be shown that here we know what you have, we know that you can and you can lose more than earn plus political, some things, i think that the future secretary of the united states could bare with him if we can see

a document that speaks of the absorption of belarus by russia. it is separated from e-e russia by the territory of kazakhstan, in general, you need to understand the simple fact that russia can enter central asia only by absorbing kazakhstan and astana. they all know this very well, and i think that they do not understand something. they understand everything very well, that's why they are trying to strengthen their relations now from china, here putin seriously miscalculated because he underestimated the level of takayev's involvement in relations with the chinese political elite, he is closer to the kremlin because he has a special relationship with the ottoman well-known russian oligarchs, he would be quite serious in helping to strengthen the government there, but he is separated

from kazakhstan. so what is the proximity? well, it is close that it is conditional proximity, but kazakhstan, i think, is such a central moment now, and i think that the us government had something to talk about with the president of kazakhstan and the president of kazakhstan had something to talk about with the president of uzbekistan, this is what it looks like, this is an interesting visit. i think that we will not soon learn about its true meaning , and it is clear that in this situation that has developed in central asia, the state secretary is not just so go there because but you have to understand that they are very careful in these countries in general. when it comes to russia's war against ukraine , well, in kazakhstan, for example, they don't support it in russia, here they get such a thing and they talked about the dpr of the lpr, but let's say the kz in kyrgyzstan's position is much more pro-russian, and tajikistan generally spoke out about what was happening only a year after the beginning , they were completely silent for a year, but they simply did not

say anything, so that there was no official statement from the leadership of tajikistan on this matter turkmenistan also does not, in principle, make any statements to turkmenistan related to any of its foreign policy, therefore, in principle, it was very important that the us secretary of state should talk to the foreign ministers of these countries, especially tajikistan, turkmenistan, because kazakhstan now has a position of dependence on the russian federation it is a pity that the fact that there is a more democratic regime than all these four countries is very large, that is, there are democratic procedures and there is economic dependence, but to talk to a tajik leaders of tajikistan and turkmenistan, it is important that because there is still afghanistan, you understand that once again the withdrawal of the americans from afghanistan significantly weakened their position in central asia and the central trust in them , because they always look

at the fact that in central asia, who controls stability in afghanistan and if it seems that the americans are not capable of this, which means that they need to form these relations themselves, and this is also a special absolute story because if tajikistan is irreconcilable to the taliban government, then let's say uzbekistan, turkmenistan. they have a fairly loyal position in relation to this new afghan government, and this is also a topic for another discussion, this is a very difficult region. i am not talking about the fact that they are fighting each other , but among the central asian countries there are those that can now be separated from russia which you already talked about, the sanction of mamzvala will give someone gingerbread or the west will offer them something, for this they need to carry out economic reforms and for them to get rid of plutocracy as the basis of the economy and it does not matter what they are offered

the west, the problem is that if previously this economy of tajikistan, kyrgyzstan and tajikistan was based on guest workers working in russia, then what can be offered to them if, in fact, all the foundations of the economy are connected with the use of slave labor in kazakhstan, this is not so kazakhstan, in principle, was like that i i would say such a mini-russia under president zarabayev, now let's see how it is and whether it can change during the time of president takaya vo. i'm not sure, but by and large it's just an oligarchic state where people just work for big oligarchs connected with power, and so it was in ukraine , too, up to a certain point, but tajikistan, kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, kyrgyzstan, and uzbekistan are countries that primarily existed on the gastarbast economy, because they did not just push their unfortunate citizens into buildings in russia and anywhere else in the field of service has always been terrible, i will tell you honestly that everyone

should observe nothing else, they did not invent any other economy there, there are practically no three melistans who do not like it very much , citizens went somewhere and the economy is connected with the supply of gas, but it is so, as it were, the paternalistic economy , which is also being gutted, is degrading, just a percentage of gas revenues is distributed among the population, and 99 goes to the family of the current and former president, you know that there son is ruling together now with his parents who is the head of the parliament something absolutely well this is the parliamentary republic of the team is absolutely incredible so i don't know in order to propose something you need to develop something well the only thing the united states could do is to take uzbeks and tajiks and kyrgyz who work in russia, but this is not serious, seriously, it is to do everything possible

to modernize this society. but i think that now if it will weaken, when in russia there are such chances. but i can strengthen the influence of the people's republic of china, at least on kazakhstan . does not perform its functions simply as an organization that can be such a supervisor for the possibility of democratic processes in these countries, it is not an organization for protection against external threats - it is an organization for protection - it is dictators from their own peoples in regimes from their own peoples, what happened in kazakhstan in january 22, this was a great confirmation of that. by the way, i believe that it is possible and they thought that they would first occupy kazakhstan, then ukraine, then half of belarus, it will be the soviet union in three, but it just turned out that the kazakh the president probably won support again calmly and forced them

to withdraw the troops after the overthrow and destruction of this uprising, then it turned out that the ukrainians are not waiting for them well, lukashenka also flew to where, enough calls, why are you calling him started our program, but it turned out that all these calculations do not take into account certain objective er circumstances, this is also a very important point that you should always pay attention to . with us and in a few moments iryna kovaliy will tell us the updated
