The Great Game Changer: Belt and Road Intiative (BRI; OBOR)

[ChineseTiger1986]

If only Mongolia's economy is in a dire state, they might be willing to join with China again.

The Mongolian Neo-Nazi clowns are just a tiny minority, whereas many Outer Mongolians actually envy the living standard in the Inner Mongolia.

The Mongolian Neo-Nazi clowns are just a tiny minority, whereas many Outer Mongolians actually envy the living standard in the Inner Mongolia.

They separated from China because our economy was sh!t after foreign invasions. Luckily plenty Mongolians did decide to stick with China and Inner Mongolia is now doing fine. Outer Mongolia is doing reasonable and most of their resources go to China just to keep their economy alive.

Mongolia has good relations with the US too...that's why I say China should take step to make Mongolia part of China or at least a de facto vassal state...that country between Russia and China could cause problems if controlled by US...maybe support Inner Mongolia independence, Mongolian reunification...right now the first foreign language in Mongolians schools is English, it should be Chinese.

Most are focusing on $400 billion deal but combining with other 40 some deals signed between Russia and China, message in geo politics is profound.

Substitute USD and use of national currency is going to shock western financial systems. Industrial, infrastructure and economic engagement will tie both countries much greater ways than just gas deal. See the major deals done between:

-----------------------------------------

Russia has secured more than 40 business contracts with China during President Putin’s visit to Shanghai. Top is the $400 billion gas contract, there are also deals in finance, investment, aircraft, and automobiles. Here is RT’s list of key agreements.

1. Russia's Gazprom and China's CNPC signed a historic gas deal worth $400 billion, which will provide the world's fastest growing economy with the natural gas it needs to expand over the next 30 years.

2. The Russian United Aircraft Corporation and China's Commercial Aircraft Corporation COMAC have confirmed plans to build a 400-seat, wide-body, long-range passenger aircraft, a potential rival to Boeing of the US, and Europe's Airbus. The new program aims to become one of the biggest large-scale international cooperation projects in both aviation and high-tech.

3. Russia’s biggest independent natural gas company NOVATEK signed a deal to supply China's CNPC with 3 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually for 20 years from their joint Yamal LNG project in the Russian north. The plans for the Yamal LNG project involve building a plant that can produce 16.5 million tons of LNG annually by 2020. It is slated to start production in 2017 with an initial output of 5.5 million tons of LNG per year.

4. Russia’s second biggest financial institution, VTB, signed a deal with Bank of China to bypass the dollar and pay each other in domestic currencies.

5. SIBUR, a leading Russian gas processing and petrochemicals company, signed a contract with China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation or Sinopec to establish a joint venture for the construction of a nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) plant to produce 50,000 tonnes a year. Sinopec's share in the joint venture will be 74.9 percent and SIBUR's will be 25.1 percent.

6. Chinese auto maker Great Wall Motor Co. said it is planning to build a car plant in Russia’s Tula region, investing up to $521 million in the project capable of producing up to 150,000 vehicles a year.

7. Russia and China agreed to build the first cross-border rail bridge over the Amur River by 2016. The bridge will cut transportation times and increase trade.

8. Russia's Eurocement signed a number of contracts with companies within the Sinoma, CNBM and Sinomach Groups for the supply of equipment to new cement plants in six different regions of Russia (Leningrad, Ryazan, Bryansk, Arkhangelsk Ulyanovsk and Samara Region). The contracts are valued at more than $500 million.

9. Russia-China Investment Fund (RCIF) and Vcanland, a leading Chinese tourism developer, have agreed to invest $800 million in the development of tourism and social projects. The geographical focus will be on destinations such as Hainan Island, Lake Baikal, and the cities of Vladivostok and Sochi.

Indians became more hostile after the diplomatic incident but the poster you are quoting has always preferred Russia over US, most Indians are actually more diplomatic.

Historically india was against US. But after 9/11 US, judging indian anti Muslim stand, mistook india as friend. US showered indian with many economic and strategic benefit. Throughout india back stabbed US interest many times. Only recently US realizing india is no friend but a two face snake.

Don't worry about Mongolia turning against China. They aren't that stupid, it's sandwiched between 2 military super powers, Russia and China have alot of influences in Mongolia. If Mongolia would join US/NATO do you think China and Russia would allow that? It's like asking for suicide.

 

[BoQ77]

In fact, Mongolia follows US

 

[Pangu]

Look at the lighter side of things, Putin shows Obama how to do a real "Pivot To Asia."

If I were him, I thought "you must be mine tonight. I'm single now"

Nope , many western people have horrible body smell

And they like to use horrible cologne which make it even worse.

 

[TaiShang]
