recently published the results of the survey interacting with China of Russian entrepreneurs in terms of their expectations from future cooperation with China.
the Results were discouraging: 57% of small and medium business related to China, but only in the survey participated 1619 top managers, on the background of the pandemic is expected to reduce the turnover and revenues decrease. For comparison: the share of those-pessimists companies, China unbound, was only 30%.
57% vs 30%, there is something to ponder.
a few More digits. The study showed that in varying degrees, depends on China business 47% of organizations of SMEs, and 21% – to a large extent, 26% slightly. In other words, the international division of labor, a key trend in any globalization for Russia, almost half bent one, “Chinese” side. The question “good or bad” is irrelevant: of course, bad that clearly demonstrated the economic consequences of the global spread of coronavirus.
“the Economy – 50% psychology,” once said the author of the German economic miracle Ludwig Erhard. Psychology is revealed, including the mood of the people, coming clear in the opinion polls. The presented slice showed that among those whose business is tied to China, the negative impact of the pandemic on the economy of Russia, strictly Russia, wait 85% of respondents (5% – neutral expectations and the same – positive). Among those with China are not directly interacting, the share of pessimists less – 75% (14% expressed a neutral sentiment, with 3% positive).
it turns Out that all the lofty words about the development of trade relations with China, increase trade turnover with China, the implementation of breakthrough economic projects is hampered by gloomy presentiments of specific economic agents, those who are called to incarnate the plans into reality. Not only the economic neighbourhood of Russia and China ends. For us, by the way, is a plus, and the sooner you get a push at the known point, the sooner you will begin to think about the development of the economy.
Today, Chinese banks are beginning to prevail cold calculation and economic opportunism, we are in thrall to the neighbor’s amazement, paired with attempts to prolong their own naivety.
Similar sentiments are embodied in practical cases. A few months ago, Russia sent to China humanitarian aid of 2 million medical masks. I own blue had issues, but sent friends also. Naturally, we expected a similar gesture of “goodwill”, but the reality was much worse than the gloomy expectations. The Chinese n��Chali, jargon speaking, “to cut cabbage” on our grief.
Not long ago, Deripaska, once a fan of Russian-Chinese cooperation, decided to buy the Chinese have for the medical staff of regions, as well as for their employees and members of their families, masks, goggles, gloves, gowns and other equipment. Similar products produced in Russia, as you know, is sorely lacking.
Good, what to say. Not only because it showed social responsibility, but because not really this step advertise. It is likely at the Federal level, the actions of Deripaska would have remained undetected, if not subsequent events.
the Contract with the Chinese party was quickly signed, but what was the surprise of the Deripaska and his managers, when the invoice price of the products jumped as much as three(!) times in comparison with the price list. Not 10 or 20% that in the current environment it would be understandable, but several times.
to Look for other options there is no time – SIZ is needed, that is, yesterday. Decided to pay. But when purchased protective equipment was aboard the cargo plane, “brothers forever” introduced another bill. This time – additional fees for export of goods desperately needed by the Chinese.
“We, of course, sell, but, you see, obnoxious and regional Communist party bosses put our contract all new spokes in the wheel”.
Deripaska was forced to agree to the conditions of the Chinese business ransomware, but something tells me that in the future his love for the Chinese comrades calms. It would be good to know more about the quality delivered to Russia Chinese products, but the story (so far) is silent about it.
“the Best training – paid”, or so says the proverb?
Russia at all times there were three dominant worldview: solidarity, sustainability and justice. Self-sufficiency, in the extremum, autarky in the Chinese sample, among other things, involves the self-sufficiency everything you need, including protocols for the rapid deployment of the required range.
do we have anything like that? The Chinese poked our noses in the negative.
as to China, then he’s no dragon, but a common huckster. And there is nothing about the Russian-Chinese PseudoTUBE tales to tell. Friendship, or rather love paid to China, is present only in the minds of certain representatives of the “Chinese party” in the Russian leadership Yes in the expert community. Business, as shown by sociology, romance to China is not experiencing.
