Why would they do that?They don't really need us.It's just some chinese cowards dream they would.Like the one said we “have to” cooperate with Russia.Russia denied to sell gas to China at low price
, So? If you don't know what to say on these, you can just shut up and get into another thread.Russia denied to sell gas to China at low price
im talking about chickening out when chinese had to deal with usa.
lol really? u guys have long history of backstabbing other nations. as a matter of fact these idiot mullahs who r dragging iran into shit forgot that it was your guys that took away 40% of the country in 1813 and 1828 respectively.
at least britain gave back hong kong in good condition , on the other hand wherever you guys set foot has turned into shit.
At that time, Britain was already an industrialized country with the rest of the worlds as its market and raw material supplier , China was forced into the Western's system by opium. Russia was a different example, you are not as industrialized as the west in 19th century, you even didn't abolish the Serfdom. When the opium began, you were even not well prepared for the industrialization. It was in late 19th century when you finished it, although it was done, not the same level as west Europe. So you only interested in grabbing as much land as you could, while the west care more about whether their product sold well in a 0.4 billion population market. This is one reason why they give the land back to China, they only focused on economy aspects. Another reason would be the distance, they were far from China, they couldn't control the situation.
Does anyone know many billions China will save from the price we want compared to the price Russia wants?
Because a few billion extra is peanuts compared to the strategic supply of this gas and the environmental benefits. We probably get billions from the interest in our US bonds to pay for this gas. If we don't do this deal, it will be our loss, not Russia.
thats a very dumb excuse to force other people to consume their drugs. Also its not true russia was very industrialized under the czars, in 1910 or something its economy was bigger than germany and in 1925 it surpassed britain and became the second largest economy after the US
How China and India had always the biggest Economies for centuries
While an insatiable demand for tea existed in Britain, only silver was accepted in payment by China, which resulted in a chronic trade deficit.[9] This trade led to the extensive use of European gold and silver in China.[10]
Britain had been on the gold standard since the 18th century, so it had to purchase silver from continental Europe and Mexico to supply the Chinese appetite for silver. Attempts by a British embassy (led by Macartney in 1793), a Dutch mission under (Van Braam in 1794), Russia's (Golovkin in 1805) and the British again (Amherst in 1816) to negotiate access to the China market were all vetoed by successive Emperors.[10]
By 1817, the British had decided that counter-trading in narcotic Indian opium, was a way to reduce the trade deficit and to turn the Indian colony profitable. The Qing administration originally tolerated opium importation, because it created an indirect tax on Chinese subjects, while allowing the British to double tea exports from China to England thereby profiting the monopoly on tea exports held by the Qing imperial treasury and its agents.
Plus, China has the world's largest reserves of Shale Gas, it will be beneficial to us to have good infrastructure in place for large-scale gas usage, for the next few decades when we will be able to tap into our own reserves very strongly.
