A great post of Piontkovsky about how the Kremlin, for the sake of preserving their power, merge Russia to China. But is it time for us to create the All -Russian movement "The Front of Defense of the East" to fight against the external Chinese threat? Ready to lead or enter the leadership.

Basal for Russia and corruption (the more expensive the pipe, the better) the nature of the next contract of the century, concluded in Beijing on May 21, was seen by many authors. It is important to understand that such a transaction is not an isolated phenomenon, and a kind of climax of the already far from the first year of the process of draining the territories of the Far East and Siberia in the "zone of living space" of the PRC.
As the Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation warned in the document prepared by him in 2009, the Strategy for the Socio-Economic Development of the Far East, the Republic of Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Irkutsk Region for the period until 2025, the main “threat” and the “challenge” of the region is the danger of turning this territory only into a source of energy and raw materials for the countries of the APR. ” But, ignoring the warnings of experts, the country's highest political leadership for many years with enviable tenacity itself has been realizing the “threats” and “challenges” of Russian sovereignty, really turning the territory of the Far East and Eastern Siberia into a source of energy and raw materials, but not “for the countries of the Asia -Pacific region”, but for one of the countries of the Asia -Pacific region. The very one that for some reason with persistent regularity during large -scale military maneuvers along our borders convincingly demonstrates the potential for using their military power in Russia.
In 2009, the Russian leadership capitulated in economic negotiations and went to those agreements that the Chinese side was marajected from Moscow for many years. First, the head of the PRC Hu Jintao and the throne -resistant Dmitry Medvedev solemnly signed their first deal of the century in the Kremlin (according to the Medvedev expression) - a contract for the supply of 300 million tons of oil for $ 100 billion (less than $ 50 per barrel) for the supply of Russia by Russia. Given that it will still have to build an oil pipeline with the declared value of $ 29 billion, the real price for Russia will be significantly less and clearly loss. However, the First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin hastened to publicly declare her "fair." However, personally, for Mr. Sechin and other august oil and pipelines, this price probably was even very fair.
One way or another, the first important step was taken to turn the Russian Federation into a raw materials appendage of the Middle Empire. But our junior president did not stop there and signed with the same HU on September 23, 2009 in the city of New York another epoch-making agreement-“The Cooperation Program for 2009-2018 between the regions of the Far East and Eastern Siberia of Russia and the North-East of the PRC”, which included more than 200 projects. According to this program, Russia gave into a joint development natural deposits of minerals, of which the production of iron, copper, molybdenum, gold, antenatal, titanium, vanadium, silver, Germany, tin, etc. will be established in China. China will build processing production in the Russian territory, and Chinese workers will be occupied on them.
In about the same scheme, China has concluded a number of agreements with African dictators in the last decade. True, in Africa, agreements provided for the creation of a much larger number of jobs for China received a license to digest for a long time of the strategic region, which is still outside its geographical borders, plus stable supply of energy resources from the country that he will digest natives. The same program provided for the expansion of border checkpoints and "strengthening Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of labor activity." Immediately after its signing in China, a state -owned company was created for investment in agricultural production, which involves the lease/buying of land in Russia. Actually, China received everything he needed today - a license to digest for a long time of the strategic region, which is still outside its geographical boundaries, plus stable supplies of energy resources from the country that it will digest. He will not come for a second license. As the Chinese military theorists rightly emphasize, "effective control over a long time will ultimately lead to the transfer of geographical boundaries."
On May 21, the “deal of the century” on gas triumphantly completed a brilliant strategic victory, won in the classical traditions of Chinese military art - without exposing the sword, without a single shot. From now on, the game will be conducted exclusively according to Chinese rules. It is not surprising that the deputy chairman of the PRC Lee Yuanchao, speaking at the round table "Russia - China: Strategic Economic Partnership", which took place as part of the XVIII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, proposed to turn the Russian Far East and North of the PRC into a single economic zone. Firstly, there is natural economic cooperation between us, not that cooperation through some kind of ocean. Secondly, our cooperation is complementary. As our businessmen said, in Russia an extensive territory, and in China the most hardworking people in the world. If we can combine these factors, we will get significant development. In Russia, a large territory and few people, in China - vice versa, ”the PRC deputy chairman explained his plan. The last time Mao Zedun made a similar proposal when in December 1949, when he arrived in Moscow to sign a contract for friendship, union and mutual assistance with the USSR. For some reason, the proposal did not like Stalin so much that Mao Zedun spent more than two months in Moscow actually under arrest. Apparently, after 65 years, the Chinese decided that the Northern Barbarians were finally recalled.
The secret of success in Chinese is to understand the psychology of another, to subjugate his will, to use in their interests his complexes, his ideologems, his nobility or his baseness. In one case (soft absorption of Taiwan) - rely on the patriotic romanticism of the Taiwanese Homintans, their desire to become part of the great homeland. In the other, on the absolute cynicism and irresponsibility of the Kremlin kleptocracy, this last generation of the Soviet communist nomenclature, the final product of the process of its degeneration.
In order to preserve the presence of Russia in the Pacific region in the face of an obvious existential call, the population of our country needs to realize themselves as a people, and the disinterested and ascetic authorities should offer him national guidelines and tasks. But is Russian Kleptocracy capable of this - all these, in their own apt definition, “sales officials and non -entrepreneurs who are not entrepreneurs” - the second and third echelons of the former party and gamous nomenclature? For the sake of personal enrichment, these people have already “leaked” one state to which they swore-the Soviet Union and created an ugly mutant economy, which allows them to continuously become richer.
For what? In order to collect and in a frenzy to spend their treasures in the same West that they always hated and which they hate today even more for their historical defeat, for the vulnerability of their avoirs, for their insignificance. East Siberia and the Far East are now in the Chinese (Siberizon) living space, they moved away from responsibility for the fate of the region in order to continue to serene to get up from the knees, to pierce the modernization, to demonstrate the Kuzkin Mother of Georgia, then to Ukraine and to spray billions of Chinese dollars.
As the Tomsk analyst Alexander Lukyanov, one of the reasons for the “epoch -making decisions” made in the Kremlin, was very accurately, “maybe the desire of the Russian leadership to get additional guarantees for the preservation of their power. Chinese leaders perfectly understand that in the event of a change of power in Russia, any government that will replace the current, be liberal, communist, red, white, green or white, green or white, green or white or white, green or white, green or white, green or white or white. Sero-Buro-Malinov in Neti, will immediately raise the question of revising the conditions of “cooperation”, so beneficial for China, but directly contrary to the national interests of Russia.
A group of individuals of the same blood in question publicly boasted in 2011, how they will sit next to the bench and decide among themselves how they would rule them for another 24 years. Yes, for twenty -four years, even the Chinese will not stand them! For such a period, the tandem simply has territories and people will not be enough for draining. Such one -sided "geopolitical orientation" does not suit the thoughtful people in Russia of various political beliefs. Here, for example, is the point of view of one of the ideologists of the unsystematic opposition Harry Kasparov: “The reckless orientation of Russia to the east, in my opinion, will inevitably lead our country to the loss of geopolitical subjectivity. Its independent role will come to nullify, and most likely it will turn into an active eastern neighbor. China is a very strong player, constantly leading economic expansion. Expanding the limits of his influence, he has actually established his hegemony in the entire Asian space.
The statement of the famous statesman Dmitry Rogozin is also significant: “We just need to turn on the brains and dull the memory tormented by the past grievances to understand that only together the United States, the European Union and Russia are able to save the northern civilization from political decomposition and civilizational death under the onslaught of“ new southern cultures ”, if I may be expressed in today's brutal and fragile forces, which are really influential forces that are really existing forces, which are really existing forces that are really existing forces. Our right to life is called into question.
Of course, there is, of course, among domestic Chinese children on the future of Russian-Chinese relations. The position of one of the leading Russian specialists in China Andrei Devyatov is very characteristic of their image of thinking. He very soberly evaluates the current state of Russian-Chinese relations and the prospects for their development: “The Chinese solved the tasks of their greatness sequentially. For them, the main return of the Taiwan to the bosom of their homeland was the main thing. And they solved this problem. The Americans forcedly abandoned this front, the Chinese won the Battle of Taiwan. De-Fako Taiwan returned. De-Jure will take some more time, but this will happen until 2019.” "The Nerchinsk agreement holds the border along the Stank's ridge. In the minds of the Chinese, everything that is south of him: BAM, Udokan, Chara and their natural wealth from oil and gas to ores and forests - is in the strategic boundaries of Chinese interests. The Chinese strategy suggests that these resources should be considered a reliable resource of the XXI century. But so that Russia, in which Russia wants today, wants Russia Tomorrow does not want to ... During the globalization, the geographical boundaries become almost nothing, but there is such a thing as strategic borders. "Military-technical cooperation with Russia is curtailing. They already received, they have already received: a space program, a manned ship for $ 80 million at least $ 80 billion. After that, they launched several more astronauts, the Chinese have already gathered to the moon. All these are Soviet technologies given for pennies." "The Chinese have a patriotic, united, working only among their invisible mafia, is called the" triad ". It is a power cover of Chinese penetration. And in Russia it also works. The competent authorities are guided by this mafia - this was always the case." "... get married at the Russians. Look at the Far East. It is already happening there. The Chinese does not drink, does not smoke, works, loves the family, carries money to the house. And the children get the Chinese - it was in Singapore, Malaysia. Assimilation is an eternal Chinese path of solving problems."
So how can Russia build its relations with this large -scale phenomenon, with this mysterious Solaris, washing our borders and, judging by the above, capable of absorbing us by chance, simply following the natural rhythms of the Great Tao? The Chineseists are not only in Russia, but throughout the world - a special caste. Their thinking is paradoxical and inevitably chitaecentric, it carries an imprint of the huge soft power of the object they study. Just as generals cannot be trusted by the war, so the Chineseists cannot trust the relationship with China. The recipe of Andrei Devyatova is intricate as a Chan parables: "Russia needs to rise from the relations of state goodness to the level of an oath union of related civilizations. The Union of our family civilizations gives us a chance to be not an outskirts, to which the strategic interests of China are transferred, but to become equal."
Understanding, apparently that the term “equals” still doesn’t sound very convincing in the context of our “related civilizations” oath with China, the author explains to the wide reader his understanding of “kinship” and “equality” in the language of accessible metaphors, appealing to the deep meanings of ancient Chinese philosophy and mythology: “Now Russia in the eyes of China has lost its status, but if Russia has become a servant. But if Russia has become a servant. She can become a older sister - this is a good status - this is the Earth, the Father, the sky, the sister decides everything, but the older sister personifies wisdom.
Well, as for the presentation of wisdom, judging by the behavior of the Russian authorities, the position of wise humility before the inevitability of Chinese expansion has already been adopted as a strategic one. Putin's kleptocracy is not only trying, but also does everything possible to bring the day by Russia to receive a good status, tactfully recommended by the colonel of Soviet military intelligence, deputy director of the Institute of Russian-Chinese Strategic Interaction. Especially inspires the members of the Cooperative "Lake" the fact that, having received all grandmas from the Chinese, according to the bonded agreements concluded, they will be able to retire to the West, with a sense of deep moral satisfaction about the civil duty that they had done. To take care and plow the garden in this territory, which cannot be abandoned, will now, as a connoisseur of the Far Eastern culture of nine, promises us, Chinese comrades.
And how they will use a kindred civilization oath of allegiance to them as a stupid younger brother or as a “wise” older sister, which oath to them, which was allegiance to them, is an exclusively question of their taste preferences.
