the group hey blinkin - composition of 2018, empty words, lead singer anthony blinken, at the time of recording, head of the joe biden center at the university of pennsylvania, now us secretary of state. empty words, the title is straight to the point about diplomacy. anthony blinken visited beijing. now the world is structured in such a way that any communication between china and the united states is at a high level of something. they wait, as a rule, in vain; with such a close relationship, revolution does not happen, however, evolution is evident, the current status quo is clearly transitional. the fund for the visit is not radiant. the us congress has just passed and biden has signed a legislative package that includes military aid to taiwan, as well as a requirement for tiktok to change its chinese owner to an american one within 9 months. these are now on the market.

usa, track the location of government employees and use this information for espionage purposes. at the same time, the senate unanimously approved the law. prohibiting government employees from using

tiktok on their official devices. in june on the twenty-first, joe biden reversed his predecessor’s decision regarding the tiktok and wechat services. however, just over a month ago, on march 13, the house of representatives approved a bill to ban tiktok in the united states if its owner does not sell the platform to an american company within six months. biden has said he will sign the bill if it exists. it is noteworthy that just a month earlier, on february 11 , the biden campaign created its tiktok account and published the first video in which the current owner of the white house responds to the questions: trump or biden? are you kidding? biden! the publication politika emphasizes that this was done in order to attract a young audience to the upcoming elections. chinese authorities have already stated that sales of tiktok are undesirable. beijing would prefer to ban

the social network in america, although it is already banned in china itself, and the wall street journal reported that bit dance may begin legal proceedings. it's funny that in china itself tiktok is just not available, there is another version of the application called, a variant known in the world, in the strict canons of chinese language management does not fit into public space, a little about children's fears, traditional symbols.

one of the congressmen explains to the ceo of tiktok: “shame on you, only american companies can spy and steal the personal data of american citizens. walt haldesman for dallas morning news.” in one of the offices of the state department, one of the officials says to a friend: “listen, what’s the fastest way to tell everyone that we want to ban tiktok? now i’ll record a tiktok video,” another replies, what do they represent? what is the relationship between the us and china, and what does this mean

for russia? let’s talk to a wonderful specialist. sergei goncharov, an outstanding chinese scholar who worked in china for many years, is now a leading researcher at the institute of higher studies of the russian academy of sciences. sergey nikolaevich, hello, good afternoon. the relationship between the usa and china is such a mysterious thing, from the outside, not always understandable, it is such a complex structure of the closest symbiosis with growing contradictions. and can we say that there is still some trend among these two prevail, and what does this mean? in the mid-1990s , completely different processes began to occur in parallel in the two countries. they called. what is now called trumpism, as for china, with all the enormous achievements that it has achieved along this path, as a result, the incorporation of the bourgeoisie into the power system has become widespread

corruption, the exchange of power for money, and huge environmental problems have emerged associated with the forced industrialization, huge excess production capacity, which... crush the economy and pull it down, export resources, as the main driver of economic development, were largely exhausted, simply due to the fact that physically many developed countries were not able to digest such a quantity of chinese goods without destroying their own industry on that not everyone in the western world is ready, but in these conditions...

and above all the american one, which, of course, did not cope with this test in the best way, this did not happen, since the exit, a very tough, unsuccessful exit from pandemic restrictions , largely discredited all the achievements that china had at the stage

of the epidemic itself, it also turned out that at least before the chinese leadership emphasized: now it will refuse the leading role of exports and moving to an emphasis on domestic demand is not such a simple process at all, and that in order to radically expand domestic demand,

it also turned out that it is too early to say that china is capable of relying only own strength, develop the entire range of the most advanced technologies. the american and chinese economies are very interconnected. a sharp weakening and, even more so, a break in relations would be a strong blow for both countries. china is one of the largest holders of treasuries. until 2018, beijing kept over $300 billion in american government bonds, but over the past 5 years it has reduced investments by about a third. the reason was the trade and later technological war against china, which was started by donald trump. by the end of the summer of 2018, both parties brought the amount extortion of up to 100 billion dollars. on the eve of 200.

chinese exports hit beijing hard. already under biden, from january to may 2023, american companies have reduced supplies of products from china by a quarter, compared to the same period in 2023. an additional factor was the withdrawal of production from china. to reduce risks, manufacturers who work for american customers began to transfer capacity to southeast and south asia. another area depends. at the end of 2022, states introduced

a ban on exports to china semiconductor technologies and equipment for its production. chinese processor manufacturers have suffered heavy losses; in general , china is still behind the united states in terms of the availability of ready-made technologies, but the country has already taken first place in the number of scientific developments in many key technological areas.

only the top officials, they simply signed in blood that they would never leave the chinese market and that nothing would work out here, there is pressure from business, which is why the states were forced to start to pursue a policy of so-called high walls around small courtyards, that is , to limit only a small range of those... we have some misunderstanding or misunderstanding, after all, what is china’s position

regarding this special military operation of all that is happening with on the one hand , we consider china almost our ally, on the other hand, we see that china really does not want to spoil relations with the united states because of this, what, in principle , is their position? first of all i would like to say that one should not underestimate the importance of russia in chinese foreign policy strategy, several key factors, the most important of which is geopolitical, thanks to the constructive relations that china has with russia, it has... a northern border, where, by the way, it is necessary to include indirectly as a result of good relations with russia, also the border with mongolia, also the border with the independent states of central asia, so he has a strategic, calm strategic rear in the north, this is extremely important for china, because if we look at the map, if

we move from india down this big arc to uh-huh. south korea, then we will see that china has either territorial, geopolitical, or some other contradictions with almost all the main players in this region, and that if there is an aggravation of relations with any of the states this periphery, they are immediately inclined towards the united states, even to the point of emphasizing the conclusion of some in... military agreements, it is no coincidence that chairman sidinpin says that we are russia and china, we stand back to back, yeah, thereby ensuring each other’s interests, the second factor is that in no case it is worth underestimating the importance of economic ties between our countries, well, it is customary to say pejoratively that the trade volumes

of the united states and the european union are enormously higher, but let's... talk about gdp, then in china it is 10 times the population there twice as much, and if more, in the united states, i don’t know, this is a very decent indicator, and you need to look not only at quantity, but at quality, because if we talk about oil, then if... in china, acute conflicts turn out to be blocked the routes of oil supply from the middle east, then land supplies from russia and kazakhstan, if china uses its strategic reserves and switches to an economy mode, then it will be able to withstand this blockade for many months, which will force it to be lifted,

because beyond these same straits in southeast asia there are such allies of the united states. south korea and japan, which in this case will also graze, will be forced to starve. another significant factor is, as i would call it myself, really very good relations between the two leaders, that is, president putin and chairman sidzenpin, which is based on the coincidence of a number of directions in their internal foreign policy, which, in my opinion, is common to all these coincidences are obvious. okay, these are positive factors, but what if we take the limiters? yes, the most important limiter. is that - the chinese now consider the main threat to themselves to be the fragmentation of production and logistics chains, global, and, of course, the undoubted benefits that they receive from the fact that they have flooded the russian market with their mechanical and technical products, and also

receive from us many important types of raw materials, they in no way compensate for this, this global...

we are not very satisfied, because in in this case, it turns out that when some sanctions are introduced, the chinese believe that they should not be subject to any sanctions for cooperating with russia, and in fact they will never, on their own initiative, supply, say, weapons or directly military technologies, as well as those... technologies that are recognized as dual- use technologies, on the one hand, on the other hand, they will never, on their own initiative, curtail cooperation in those areas that... are not obviously belonging to these two categories and will do this only if this is pointed out to them, some evidence is presented and they are forced to do so. from my point

of view , the significance of those twelve points that china put forward when a year has passed since the beginning of its history is not at all underestimated or underestimated. well, in general, it’s probably hard to disagree with the fact that the current events have marked a deep crisis. the currently established system of international law, the system of those institutions that should ensure this international law, the entire system regulating international economic cooperation, security systems, and so on, and the chinese in this document, for example, state that this has been done openly, that they are now advocating the creation of a new eurasian security structure in which they will participate , this is a completely global thing, all this is connected with... the other three, from my point of view, you know, there were two of them, so to speak, during the time when there was a settlement after the first world war, after the second world war, they were on the winning side, but they were very well

wiped out, now here they are for the third time, they do not pretend to play any role in how the relations will be settled in the end between russia and ukraine, this is a question that is no longer known, now there will be an important visit, the president announced that he will go to china in mid-may, i think that we will learn something new, probably, yes, probably, yes, probably

a big one thank you, our guest was sergei goncharov, chinavet. us congress after after many months of ordeal, he adopted a set of laws that allow military assistance to israel, ukraine and taiwan. by the way, the package includes the law. peace through force in the 21st century, which allows the seizure of russian sovereign, that is, state assets and their transfer to a special fund for supporting ukraine. tiktok in the same document. if the anti-russian and anti-chinese measures did not raise any objections, then money for ukraine has been agitating republican congressmen since last year. biden's opponents tried to use the topic to get rid of the administration concessions on migration. issue, however , information pressure worked: to become the reason for putin’s victory, the question in the public field was posed exactly like this:

the republicans, with few exceptions, did not want to, everything was decided by the change in the position of the speaker of the house of representatives mike johnson, he for a long time generally refused to put the issue to a vote, trump’s man, political eccentric, conservative, this is how the speaker of the us house of representatives, mike johnson, most often appears in articles in left-wing western media. he was elected to this position in october last year. year when the previous speaker, kevin mccarthy, was fired. johnson did not enter the fight immediately, but after three unsuccessful rounds of elections. not a single party member voted against him. by american standards, johnson's path into politics can be called press-driven, devoid of publicity. scandals. he started in law firms, where he worked on constitutional law, cases related to freedom of religion and the protection of christian values. after being elected

to the louisiana house of representatives in 2015, he tried to introduce legislation to marriage and conscience, which would protect from discrimination those who, for religious reasons, believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, but... was criticized by both democrats and republicans. by the way, johnson himself is married and has four children. he is strongly opposed to abortion and often leads pro-life marches. an opponent of sexual minorities, he believes it is necessary to ban the discussion of gender identity and same-sex relationships in schools. defying the mainstream, johnson voted for repeal obamacare reforms-car vs.

as one of donald trump's key allies, johnson has repeatedly publicly questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election, opposed the creation of a commission to investigate the events of the storming of the capitol, and actively supports the ex-president during trials. the new york times published an almost christmas story about how a convinced trumpist and almost... isolationist saw the light, realizing his historical responsibility. one of johnson's colleagues told how the speaker, a man deeply religious, he admitted in a private conversation that he was afraid of ending up on the wrong side of history, and his compass was a meeting with the head of the cia, william brens. johnson is close to trump and could not help but consult with him before supporting the laws. we often discuss whether the american approach

to... military support for ukraine continued, it doesn’t matter whether he knew about it or not, american spending on european security did not decrease under him, on the contrary, despite all the escapades, they increased, he did not rise to the level of ronald reagan or george w. bush, but otherwise a thoroughly republican president with no dramatic breaks from the past, it may happen that trump makes the american position on ukraine

more radical is rarely remembered. that iranian general qasim soleimani was destroyed by missiles precisely under trump, the strike on syria also took place under him, we don’t know who he will appoint where, but we shouldn’t rule out that the united states will be even more deeply involved in ukrainian military affairs, on the other hand, trump’s actions can ruin relationships with europe, not the destruction of nato, as they are afraid, for example, with the withdrawal of american units from europe, political attacks on europeans. especially the germans and so on, and the configuration of relations between the us europe and ukraine, which has developed since february of 2022, may begin to deform, but this is not a word, but rather an evolution. there are no forces friendly to russia in the ranks of the republicans; even the unbending anti-biden supporter, margerry taylor greene, is guided by reasons that have nothing to do with ukraine or russia.

dislike. parts of the republican party to be active in the foreign arena may be affected if trump is elected, but it is more likely that the political machine in washington will simply be paralyzed, they say the trumpists, having taken into account the lessons of the first term, when their idol came to the white house alone, all politics sabotaged by a hostile apparatus. now they are allegedly diligently preparing personnel. we'll see, there's just no need for illusions. after the commercial. let's philosophize.

investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we we often talk about money, amounts.
