i am belarusian, i am proud of this cossack land, between the forests and the bushes, for centuries past i have been belarus, i am glad that i have this name. i know the good glory of belarus for good reason, i am belarusian, i am happy that matsimov gave me, that i hear the native songs of peraliva from near, i am belarusian, and even though this world is small, i will say, i am born from a tribe of ungrateful and blessed i won't give a damn about poison .

weekly socio-political talk show to the point, today we will talk about our relations with great china. kirill kazakov and alena syrova are in the studio, as always, you can become participants in our program, here at the bottom of the screen is a qr code, please point your smartphone screen at it and join the conversation, ask questions, share your opinions, in the right corner is a link to our telegram channel, where you can find out what we think about. and how do we live off the air? let's get started. well, we talk a lot about the fact that we have an all-weather alliance with china, an all-weather partnership, and we even tried somehow already this topic and philosophize and explain, how does it sound, well

, so, actually, without a certain pathos, but we can only say that china, like the russian federation, is one of our strategic, both economic, and the latter. studies, for example, have shown that it is probably already a military partner, but the most important thing is that because of this isolation, which we fell into after the introduction of sanctions , china has really become a part of our lives, well, actually, go outside, look at the cars that are now eating minsk, well, i won't say that every third one, but there are quite a lot of them, namely chinese ones, and those who are thinking, for example, about changing their cars are also thinking about what should i take, because somehow china has entered our lives tightly. is it chinese or is it chinese mobile phones are chinese and the most important thing is that again we can already talk about this, that if in the early 2000s chinese was synonymous with consumer goods, now chinese is far from consumer goods, and we know this very well. gennady bodislavich, well, about cars, yes,

it means that chinese cars on belarusian roads are already a sort of established trend, or you know, when geely appeared there about 10 years ago, yes, it was one of... some very original, unique and somewhere fantastic brands, and especially since these were not always reliable cars. the last five years of geely, when traffic police officers and taxi drivers switched to them, who, in fact, choose more or less high-quality cars, yes, well, and we, in fact, we understand that the queues for jiri in all car dealerships is actually some kind of trend, but still this will not end, well, i want to emphasize first that... in the year when the plant was launched, it was said that we in belarus should master the production of passenger cars, for us this is a completely new segment, and 5 years ago in the eighteenth it was the first company that allowed that we should produce world -class products to fight for the value of ownership, in 5

years we can look at the results, intermediate for now, first we can say, that more than 60 thousand cars have been sold and are in operation.

that is, two goals are being pursued here, the first goal is really, as you said, to bring modern electric cars to the market of our country, the second is to study them more deeply. now we have decided that this year we will bring a completely new car, which

is literally coming to the market, literally this year in china, well, in order to see this benchmark of modern technologies and so that the user can choose between absolutely domestic, let's say, well, and thus modern, which uh, well i hope the localization level.

and the car market, i will also add a little to gennady bronislavovich, conditionally, yes, that is, well, probably, for the sake of fairness it should be said that the geely project is the most successful and the only one, unfortunately, a project of this kind, from large-unit to small-unit to localization of its own, that is, the level of localization is now very high, and two new production facilities have been built nearby, that is, but before that there was the samandom project, if you remember, so to speak, iranian, there were others, so to speak,

indeed today it is the most advanced in terms of digitalization, localization, production, in some sense even unique in terms of production, i have a friend in russia who headed the valeo plant, well, you know what valeo is, it is the largest supplier of auto components, so he was at the russian plant, but i will not say which one, and he was at geely at ours, he said that the difference is cosmic, you understand, in terms of technology, that is, they came to us so that you understand, the highest technologies, production culture, and technologies that allow you to compete.

in the discussion on the electric car, it really got to me, as they say, listen, well, this topic has been worrying everyone lately, i agree, i'll try to be brief, i still don't agree with what you're saying, here 's a chinese component... we 've been testing it and so on, nothing like that, a series of experimental design work is underway, within the framework of which experimental samples of components for electric cars will be created, the most basic ones, this is everything that concerns electric traction, on-board electronics control, yes you - i 'm talking about serial production, i'm talking about serial production, but understand that a prototype is being developed in order to start

producing it ourselves, and not to buy later what we have developed, what we have, what exists on the market, why are you doing this with... that's how it is, the ministry of industry and trade together with the head of blg will order a price threshold, and please, as they say, well, taking into account, now i will try to respond directly to interaction with the people's republic of china, in principle, if we speak broadly, then china is the second state with which we are conducting, project activities are underway at a fairly serious level, i am talking about those states with which... there are countries of the world with which we have scientific and technological cooperation, but we have not implemented a single project for various reasons, so china is one of those states with which we

have been conducting project activities since 2016, we have already collected four times, once, and technologies of the people's republic of china, and he will come specifically in order to sign the relevant document, but that 's not all, within the framework of the intergovernmental commission that took place in beijing last fall, our country, belarus, put forward an initiative to move from the stage of scientific research and development, of which we have already

completed quite a large number over the past 8-9 years, on the basis of, we proposed to create on the basis of the results of research and development not... a completely normal direction of interaction with china, so i'll finish, the chinese took a break for these few months, literally 2 months ago i received a notification that they are ready to consider the possibility of selecting three projects, and these projects, well, i want to dream of the same scale as blg, but

we have enough experience in creating joint ventures with china, we have them in the great stone industrial park. legal entities, for example, again, in the areas that our committee is engaged in, for example, cjsc, aviation technologies, complexes, this is just an example of a joint point of a large chinese corporation, avik, well, and accordingly, the founders are from our country, it is engaged in this enterprise is engaged in the production of not only unmanned technology, but also manned, in our country this is an unprecedented example, they produce an autogyro, it has a very interesting property, if it cannot crash. cannot fall, yeah, so - our interaction is very deep, the chinese are going to meet almost all our wishes, the only thing, of course, their own interests, of course, they observe, and the project topics are always selected on the basis of mutual mutual, but that's normal, you said that you took a break, yuri

alekseevich, well, you worked as an ambassador to china during such a difficult period during the pandemic. they don't make decisions quickly, they weigh everything quite deeply, subtly, calculate the effects, it doesn't happen to them that today we discussed, tomorrow we started a project, very...

we have always been understanding and have always prepared relevant materials through our various ministries, the competence of which included consideration of this or

that issue, quite in-depth materials, because with superficial material no one will talk to you in this only in a deep study of the issue, but if they took on the issue and are going to bring it to the end, the issue will be resolved. this is an all-weather partnership, which we here in our own way naturally interpret, naturally in a positive way. for the chinese, what does it mean, for chinese specialists, for chinese managers, for chinese politicians, what is this, for them belarus is this status, which in principle not everyone has, there are different levels relations between countries, for china the highest close partner is pakistan, number one place, the second of all countries in the world is the republic of belarus, that's exactly all weather comprehensive strategic partnership, and this status, this level of relations, which... our leaders accepted and announced the president of our country alexander grigoryevich lukashenko and sidin ping in the twenty -second year, on september 15

, this decision was made announced: on any site, in any province, any governor, he is the first the case begins with the fact that we perfectly evaluate, understand the level of relations that exist today between our countries, and we are ready for a comprehensive, all-weather, that is, any discussion of any issues in any situation, well, of course, yes, a humanitarian. let's then try the following point: first of all, what is happening with china today is a deeply thought-out step that was made by our

country's leadership many, many years ago, it was rightly said just now that china does not make hasty decisions, in no way, everything it must be planned, everything must be agreed upon, and the most important thing is to find a balance, what is beneficial to china, what is beneficial to the other.

china's help to polones, this is the next stage, polones is the most striking example of how a huge country, technologically developed, can, today china is no longer some kind of backward country, it is a first world country, when they say it is developing, yes, it is developing, but it will still develop , so who gives these assessments, here is the question, let's see, it is to some extent the first economy, to some extent the second economy according to various indicators in the world. there are nuances, and if earlier we talked about the fact that china needs technologies, yes, it was, they took technologies like a vacuum cleaner from all over the world, but they learned the military component from the example of the soviet union, they very carefully analyze the experience that was in the soviet union, and did not lose a single grain, those problems, those mistakes that the soviet union made, they looked at them, assessed them.

a year in our arsenal, we looked, because the chinese used world experience and machines high-quality enough with the appropriate reserve and solving combat tasks, we learned to some extent from this issue, unmanned vehicles, fuel or so to speak, missiles including, all this is in our polones, because no one wanted to help us on a certain help, and this country found the strength and readiness.

to lend us a shoulder when we could not solve this problem, it is worth a lot, and it is not for nothing that today we, we also receive chinese help, but we also help china with our brains, for example, in the space sphere was it was just said, there are certain developments that we are helping them, in the development of the satellite component there is also a wheel tractor plant, we have a joint venture there already, there is an investment, that is, we are starting to integrate into each other, we have something to give each other, yes, of course, china is a nuclear power today, it has serious competencies, but we have an alternative in the world, a country that supports us in almost all endeavors, and if god forbid something happens, we have the opportunity rely on russia, the second on china, in this case belarus will survive, well, vadim, look, so many experts began to write that the appearance of the chinese at the exercises in

belarus. this is essentially the first appearance of chinese troops in europe, yes, it is clear that this news can be sucked out of all sides, and so, look, the chinese troops that were in our south, yes, it is clear who is being threatened, the poles , the ukrainians, so, in fact, a purely political moment, it is important that chinese troops appear on the territory of belarus, well in general, the appearance of chinese troops on our territory, it generally proceeds from what, that belarus, firstly, always, as i have already said more than once, knows how to be a useful. effective partner, we are not yezhdevenians, we always work on the principle of plus for plus, so the chinese are sincerely interested first in a peaceful belarus, in a sovereign belarus, in lifting sanctions from belarus, because one train, one way assumed work on western markets, and today many companies in the great stone, unfortunately, are slightly restraining their activities, including because of these sanctions, therefore china is ready to do everything possible to facilitate

the lifting of sanctions from belarus, namely china... partners are extremely interested in belarus having a strong economy in the region, not being drawn into a military conflict, they are ready to provide us with effective assistance in the event that aggression is committed against our territory, therefore this is a very important partner from the point of view of geopolitics, an element of deterrence, well, listen, such a partner is beneficial to them, you understand, you understand, here we are we must understand, we have some of these complex full-fledgedness are beginning here or in relations with russia, in relations with china. all the time says that we, someone helps us, we can’t cope without someone, no, today russia is very interested in us, a great benefit for russia is that they have more than a thousand kilometers of peaceful border, they have the opportunity, including thanks to china and chinese components, to produce dual-use products here, and products for the peaceful rear, what russia needs is symbiosis of cooperation, and china needs a stable region and a stable belarus,

a peaceful belarus, that's the whole point. even from the point of view of, well, you know, we 've never had any sparks with china, it's probably this eastern restraint, the ability to take things slowly, although they're trying, vadim, to blow things up now, remember? all these headlines, when the head of state met with sedinpin on the highway, they wrote that sedinpin almost educated alexander grigorich there on the topic of firstly, again, you don't need to look at it through two glasses, we we understand that china has its own geopolitical interests, economic interests and so on, but in the interests of china a peaceful, sovereign belarus, you see, the chinese are a very pragmatic, pragmatic nation, and we know that they know how to be closed, they have a powerful domestic market.

well, it is a shame for our peoples, you see, that we are destroying each other, that the potential that should be with us, the ukrainian potential, today it is mutually destroying the russian potential, of course, this is not beneficial to anyone, that is how they act, of course, it is beneficial for them to drive a wedge into the contradiction between russia and china, you understand or not, as they say, that if trump comes, it is possible, here again they are starting this topic, it is possible that russia will be against china, will turn away from china, the us will start working against china, this will not happen, because russia will itself...

its relations on the principles of mutual respect, this is the topic, which in the near future, i am sure of this, will become the basis of a new multipolar world, in which china will be one of the main centers of power, and we today we have already managed to do the following: there is china, there is russia, there is india, we are in positive relations with all these countries, including economic, political, and we have points of growth and interest. there is one center left. the west, europe and the united states, which today it is unclear where they are moving, so we chose the right side, we chose the right allies and are moving.

states of america about 700-800 billion with the union state, where 99% is trade turnover with the russian federation 100 billion, that is, we have somewhere around 6 billion plus. and that's why when our western opponents, they introduced the so-called

sanctions list, secondary sanctions, that is, not direct deliveries, but where, so to speak, through you, as it goes. that's why they think, we have problems with payments to state banks, we have problems with deliveries. components, we have problems with our partners, who are forced to implicitly show our, so to speak, relations, that is, there are problems, this also needs to be understood, and this is a problem. the voice of the global south and more than 120 countries

and belarus invited the moody, so to speak , prime minister of india to speak at this forum at the same time as i will give you an example of china, which is a priori and geographically by status a member of the global this community, it was not invited, that is, here we also need to understand that china is also a player that has competitors our policy, attention and rightly colleagues here said, we are finding an approach with india, we are finding an approach with vietnam, with china and the countries of the african continent, this flexibility, so to speak, gives everyone is talking about a lot, look, the belzhi enterprise, chinese, we have sanctions from the west, everyone says, that's for sure belzhi has nothing under sanctions, tell me, in a world of sanctions, how do you survive, these problems exist, well, first of all, i would like to say that... bilg is a joint venture, so the controlling stake

belongs to the state, as for the sanctions restrictions, here i agree with i say the following, we are looking for new ways every time, there is no recipe here, that would be one pill that would cure everything, indeed, all this is a hindrance, and indeed, when we give incentives for localization, it is not only that we want greater added value, but we want to reduce the risks that are caused by the sanctions pressure that is present, but i would like to say here one more thing, in my opinion , an important thing, what was said about china's pragmatism, there is also such a concept of technological independence, yeah, china got these technologies very hard, very expensive, and they are not going to share them like that, here we ourselves must show really persistence, to show a certain amount of patience.

relatively speaking their technologies, because if you follow the chinese path, you take it, disassemble it, look at it, do it right, we, well, i don't think that's bad.

launched our own production, now modern china is... a megapower that has learned not only to copy, but also to develop its own business models, and this, in my opinion, is the strongest side of the chinese economy. yes, now some analysts note that the strong side of the chinese economy is being lost, this is a nuisance labor force, yeah, well, actually the value system of the population is changing in china, well, for obvious reasons, growth in earnings, growth in the standard of living - this is a normal story, this ultimately. goes into the cost of production and so on, but about technological

sovereignty, we must understand that technologies are developed and applied not only in the economy, in almost all areas , the information sphere is also filled with modern technologies, they do not stand still, they develop and so on, but about sovereignty, we must understand that each technology has a so-called consistent life cycle, first we invest in it, then we... but we live in an information society, someone saw our product, someone did the same reengineering, copied it, competitors appear on the market, sometimes unscrupulous ones, as a result our income begins to slow down, fall, so in a number of countries in the world, i will not even talk about geography, in state policy are invested

- essentially all procedures for handling technologies, until the economy as...

that is, now we have begun to go into deep processing, this is, for example, shipments of dry milk, but packaged in small packaging, that is, this gives higher profits for our enterprises, revenue, profit and, of course, allows our enterprises to earn money on the supply of this product, and,

as for the range, this is not only processed meat and milk products, this is also rapeseed oil and confectionery, chocolate and a number of others. i was at one dairy plant in mogilev, so they told me that these dairy dry milk candies, so they released them in many flavors for their employees, so they could try them with shrimp, with bacon, in order to understand which one people liked, and so they settled on the mushroom flavor, and what the belarusians liked, he says: china, they didn't like it very much, they liked something completely different, they didn't say what, but these are the ones that are sold here in belarus, not quite the same flavor that is made there. it turns out that we are trying to find our target audience, that is, it's not like we here we produce, so to speak, some kind of processed beef or frozen bread, we are trying to find flavors in order to sell more, yes indeed, because each market has its own consumer, its own preferences, therefore , completely

different types of goods are in demand on the chinese market, these are candies made from dry milk, this is instant dry milk, which is in stick packs, which can be dissolved and... and drunk as a glass of milk, ice cream, our ice cream has also begun to be supplied, but as for this product, then there is less sugar content, that's their preference, but yuri alekseevich, here is the most important thing, probably, such sensational news was a couple of years ago about how chinese entered - marketplaces, but then you commented, i remember, you said that as soon as they appeared, almost everything was immediately taken apart, how sensational was this situation really?

there were earlier, well, not that unknown, they did not so, new types of goods that were supplied to china due to logistics, due to certain difficulties, but at the same time our belarusian enterprises have studied this route belarusian goods are in great demand, completely new types of products. i think that today the demand for increasing the chinese market is so deep that the opportunities, let's say, are constantly increasing due to the fact that a moderately well-off society. china is constantly growing from year to year the number of people, if we said last year that about 300 million people of a moderately well-off society in china who can afford, including...

used by citizens of the country, in particular in china about 90% of the population today buys goods, do not go to the store, but buy through an online store, thanks to the phone, dials, orders right there kid, delivery brings him this or that product, if it is literally within an hour or two and ... and there is something that we are trying to push through for some period of time, but we are not succeeding, well, over time, of course, everything works out

, it is necessary, it takes years, because in order to, for example, accredit some type of product, it takes 2-3 years in order to pass the necessary veterinary inspection, confirm that the production meets the requirements that the chinese side puts forward, so it’s not that long, but we are... fighting back, here’s the opposite story, when chinese products come here, i notice, for example, in minsk there are more and more stores that sell chinese products from year to year, so they come to our market, we buy with the same joy, well, i think, of course, yes, the thing is that kirill, here you need to understand how they come in, why they began competitive, that is, there is such a concept in customs policy, non-tariff methods of restriction, unfortunately or...

host technology - this is from there, therefore, from this point of view, there is another kapi, which is very important, and where we can assess our level of all-weather partnership, these are direct investments, unfortunately, today china generally invests hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions directly, especially in the african continent, a number of countries, unfortunately, belarus is not in the top, yes, these direct investments, we have credit resources yes preferential. well, no, we position ourselves as the eurozone market, there is not much, not a little 170-180 million, and russia

is the same, so in this direction, both the embassy and government bodies, including business, need to work, we need to attract business, which the chinese invest money at their own risk, and not under a government guarantee, well, we need to think about how to do this, remember georgievich, when we talked about business, our economy with the union state. we talked about the fact that very often, especially if we come, for example, to the far east, to siberia, we have to compete with the chinese, not with russian goods, with chinese ones, and the president also emphasized that, well , actually, you have to quality, we have a year of quality this year, quality to compete with chinese equipment there, well, that's also a question, china is, frankly speaking, high quality, that is, they are certified there by poiso, so to speak, everything there is not in chinese. according to international standards, because it is an export-oriented economy, i gave you trillions of dollars in exports. another thing, i say again, but this

problem that i outlined, it is already being solved within the framework of the second. package of programs of the union state, which were signed in january by two heads, two heads of state, that is, russia, if they follow their obligations, will have to coordinate tariff policy with us, will have to coordinate subsidies, we i really hope, i believe, especially in the current conditions, that russia will fulfill its obligations, moreover, i have no doubts, then we will really protect in a good sense our market of the union state sovereignly, because to talk about such terms as "free trade, customs zone in eurozone, unfortunately, unfortunately, because of some of our partners, therefore the union of states, well, it is not necessary, well , about the quality of products, we must understand that the chinese market is complex and highly competitive, even today they have learned to make high-quality cars, today premium brands of the world are forced to do discounts of 30, 40, 50%, and today you can

buy a bavarian car twice as cheap in china of certain brands, assembled in china.

today we are losing every day of this special military wonderful remarkable operation, these are losses for us, no matter how we say that it’s good, we will be able to do it, well, yes, we do crisis management well, naturally, we will not, so to speak, curtail trade or throw up our hands, no, we will try to be strong in these conditions, thank god belarus is using this situation in terms of the economy too quite effectively, but overall it causes us great harm, and the longer it drags on, the potential risks...

it makes sense for us to talk about our own technological sovereignty, and here in that but we are a country, we are a sovereign country, here in particular it makes sense to talk not only about trade, but about development in the future, and development is impossible without science, dear friends, i completely agree with you, sladimirov, yes we can

take one example somewhere, we can somewhere... take some technology, again not the newest, but we are obliged to run, run today forward along this road, including developing our own competencies and not thinking that what we have done is a panacea for everything, we must also use the experience of china, yes, we do not have such billions, but we have brains today, we have those niches that we are still able to develop on our own, using a small foreign potential, it seems here...

as far as i remember, in five secondary schools there are chinese language courses, that is, we have already done the first one, all universities are working today, we have done the first step, there would be a desire vasilyevich, here's the story, you know what, people who are learning

chinese, that's how i even just run into those who come to work, most often they start working in business as communicators with chinese technologies, with chinese managers, so they basically don't so much study or don't study chinese culture there, they...
