A very interesting situation has developed in the world today, and this does not mean the confrontation between America and Russia — this confrontation over the past 100 years no longer surprises anyone, because there were times when this struggle was much more fierce than now, and much more. Therefore, the current sanctions from the United States and threats from Russia are just about nothing. This does not lead to some kind of global catastrophe — neither economic, nor political, nor military, nor any other at all.
Much interesting things are happening behind the scenes of world politics and economics, where 99% of the average people who read any smart analytics do not look at all. No, it cannot be said that there are solid secrets in this backstage — there are no secrets there, come in and read everything that is being done in this world behind the scenes. But this is of no interest to anyone, because few ordinary people can grasp with their minds one global problem, in comparison with which the problem of sanctions and threats between the United States and Russia is a mere trifle.
So, what is on the agenda today? really going on in the world?
In fact, today in the world America is fighting not with Russia, but with China. Bribes are smooth from Russia, and America has long known that it is simply impossible to cope with Russia as a state. Over the past 100 years, the American elites, on which all major world processes depend, have behaved evenly towards Russia, without trying to escalate relations. Americans can perfectly predict the behavior of Russia in any situation, and this behavior has never posed any fatal threat to them.
But the only thing that terrifies the US today is China. America is accustomed to the fact that China has always been inert and controlled. First it was ruled by the West, then by the USSR, which always tried not to escalate the situation and kept China in check. Then China quarreled with the USSR, but very quickly fell under the influence of the West in general, and the United States in particular. And the American ruling elites believed that China under their economic rule would be as compliant as ever.
But 30 years passed, and suddenly it turned out that peaceful China suddenly turned into a very dangerous dragon, literally. Russia had no influence on China for a long time, so the United States had to deal with the Celestial Empire, but that was not the case. America realized that it was so bogged down in China that it was simply unrealistic to get out of its tenacious embrace. There were never such problems with Russia and the USSR, but it happened with China. And what to do? podnimet-lapki-6a5eb78.jpg» />
Yes, and what should America do, and with it, what should the whole West do? In the 1980s and 1990s, the entire collective West, in pursuit of super profits, transferred almost all of its industry (with the exception of military and critical) to China. Yes, there were transfers of American and European productions to Mexico, India, Thailand and other «underdeveloped» countries, but in very small quantities. But it was in China that a very able-bodied population and a more or less intelligent workforce were found, which could be paid 10 times less than the American and European workers.
But that was not the point. The main thing was that Mexico, India, Thailand are “democratic” countries, and therefore dangerous for a quiet business. But in China, the Communists ruled, who literally kept all 1.5 billion Chinese in a tight rein, and this, first of all, attracted Western industrialists. In general, China turned out to be the Promised Paradise, from which it was possible to download billions every day and every hour.
But time passed, and it turned out that China is not as simple as it seemed at the beginning of the whole epic. Here, for example, in Mexico or India, all the money earned in Western industries is simply stolen, and its temporary rulers do not even think about the well-being of the state. The Chinese Communist Party, on the other hand, never allowed such a disgrace; it collected profits and invested them in the practical development of the country. In less than a decade and a half, it turned out that China had its own industry, completely independent of Western managers, and much more surprising.
The most unpleasant thing for the West was that China over the years has greatly increased its armed forces, not so much quantitatively as qualitatively. Accordingly, the ambitions of the Chinese leadership also increased, which began a very aggressive expansion in the South China and East China Seas regarding the ownership of the Spratly and Senkaku Islands, as well as Taiwan.
For all these objects, there are US obligations in one form or another, for example, the Americans promised to protect Taiwan personally, and the Senkaku Islands were recognized as Japanese. True, the Spratly Islands have been captured by China for a long time, but this does not suit the Americans, because the US allies — the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei — also claim these islands. Thus, on all these points, the Americans, whether they like it or not, have become embroiled in an almost military conflict with China.
Yes, these are still minor conflicts, but Taiwan is far from a trifle. If China suddenly decides to commit military aggression against the island, then America will have to enter into direct conflict with China. And what does this mean for America?
Do not forget that almost the entire West under the leadership of the United States is too heavily mired in China economically. If China is forced to take military action against the United States, then all American production in China will be frozen. It’s scary to even think about what this threatens America with. -kollektivnyj-zapad-podnimet-lapki-a176c57.jpg» />
Of course, China will also have a hard time, because it will lose a huge sales market and lose a large part of its income. That is, it turns out that China is also economically stuck in the West. But here we must understand that the aggressor is always more prepared for the worst-case scenario than his victim, and here the victim is the West, which for all these decades has not prepared for a confrontation with China at all.
Yes, China will lose a huge Western market, but it also has an equally huge third-country market, which is just as powerful as the Western one. In any case, China will not lose as much as the West. China is a manufacturer, and redirecting the flow of industrial products for it is just a matter of time, especially since this issue has long been worked out. But what will the West do, having lost the Chinese product? There is absolutely nothing to replace it. Mexico, India and Thailand will not give the West the product that the West needs in huge quantities.
US economists and financiers are well aware of this, but they can do nothing. You can, of course, have time to withdraw part of the production from China to other «underdeveloped» countries, but this will not work. Firstly, the translation itself will take a lot of time, and, secondly, the product will become worse in quality and more expensive in price, that is, the profitability of such a transfer will be very low. That is why the West does not even consider such a possibility.
That's why America is raging, trying to scare China with sanctions against Russia. But China has long been watching America and its relations with Russia (including the USSR), and the Chinese leaders clearly see that America can do nothing more than swing its fists in this situation.
And if so, then you can safely take control of Taiwan, because America will never respond with methods that could threaten the existence of the entire West.
In other words, today you can literally twist ropes from America as a whole, and when all this hysteria ends, then the collective West will have to decide what is better to suffer from — from hunger and cold, which will fall on it due to the cessation of supplies of the necessary product from third countries, or from loss of self-esteem when it turns out that America is just a “naked king”, and Russia will have to obey, which, through the hands of China, will relegate the West to the category of its tributaries.
