The Russia MIC and energy industry are Putin's core backers. China has been maintaining long term business with these Russian industries. For example, China placed a large order of mid sized military helicopters with Russia last year right around time of the Sino-India conflict. Also China already have 2 nuclear plants designs, they don't have to buy from the Russians, but choose to anyway. They probably hold up the announcement and release it right after the Biden-Putin talk story. Speaking of outside solutions that China doesn't really need. China has invested in and has a contract with Biotech to produce the mRNA vaccine for up to 1 billion jab for the Chinese domestic market. China already have 4 Covid vaccine solutions and all of them are approved inside China. I think they probably will use the mNRA vaccine inside China and export all their Sinovac and Sinopherm vaccines for vaccine diplomacy.

America doesn't want the status quo on the korean peninsula to change. Unified korea is another germany to deal with and NK is a convenient target for sabre rattling and hard looks when you want to change a narrative.

It's hard to imagine a unified Korea being anything along the lines of German reunification. The North Koreans are well aware that reunification through privatization hollowed out eastern Germany and led to a permanent decline compared to the west. The DPRK already has a remarkably advanced economy for what it's worth, and they're not the ones who will be cashing in on being forcibly marketized.

Well no it wouldn't be the same, because China, unlike the USSR would probably still exist in the world where Korea unifies.

It's not at all clear to me who "they" are though. Quite a number, though probably not the majority, of the soviet elite made out quite well from selling their country off.

That's because they were selling off the country to themselves. Reunification of Germany had privatization directed by the FRG, which meant west German capitalists got first dibs on the east German firesale.

If they'd press the selloff button there really would be little reason to not cut them out of their share of the loot.

quote:The Philippines would become more attractive to foreign direct investors from the United States and European Union primarily because the 60/40 Filipino-foreign equity cap is the impediment for our country from joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the ASEAN-EU Free Trade Agreement. Our country cannot be eligible into joining into these FTAs because they demand national treatment for all investors coming from member signatory nation-states and the 60/40 cap cannot be justified as a bargaining chip in negotiations with these countries anymore. quote:Nothing wrong with it if I'm going to profit from scrapping 60/40 because local investors are not keen into investing agriculture in which the idle land of my grandparents is an agricultural land that needs to be sell off by myself because we don't have relatives to hire to cultivate them as all of them are professionals that one of them (my second cousin) is already a naturalized Australian citizen and has already been a resident of Australia. gradenko_2000 has issued a correction as of 18:59 on May 22, 2021 |

Grapplejack posted:It's almost like 'socialism in one country' only exists to destroy international solidarity and favors the conservative capitalists the only way china could get the massive capital investment it did was to make concessions to DC. led to some horrendous foreign policy poo poo like the sino-viestnamese war, but they maintained their sovereignity and independence and kept rigid state control over the capitalists (rather than vice versa) instead of having their elites hollow out their country like others that caved to american pressure, for example in south america, or become american protectorates like some in southeast asia. you want to talk about international solidarity, - cut to a few decades later and the existence of a near-peer sovereign economic power (as opposed to protectorates like germany/japan) is the only thing giving countries in the american empire's crosshairs like bolivia, venezuela, cuba and iran some breathing room. massive exports of vaccines, medical equipment even to regimes hostile to it: https://translate.google.com/transl...asil/a-56344254) investment in iran: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3127278/iran-and-china-sign-25-year-cooperation-agreement engagement in south america, which included working with bolivia to help develop their (state owned) lithium resources before the coup happened: https://peoplesdispatch.org/2020/11/10/china-is-working-to-expand-its-ties-to-latin-america/

Clearly the nation founded on the framework of Japanese colonialism and being a fascist vassal state of the US Empire should immediately dismantle themselves and beg for mercy as applied by the guiding light of juche ideals.
