extraordinary, well, we got together, met, talked, exchanged ideas, and that was the end of it, well, we know that there is a list of chinese companies , which are related to the russian federation, we were told by the politician that the eu gave sydneypin this list, and besides, this is not an improvement in the relations between europe and china, not a deterioration, just such ... freedom, as mr. putin likes it very much. well, actually, for china, the relationship with the european union is important, and let's put it in numbers, if you take more than 700. of their trade, china has 400, 400 billion of merchandise, its positive flip, and it's a big problem for the european union, so that's why that they understand that china sells a lot of goods to their markets, while, for example, in european companies do not have similar conditions

for the chinese market, and for example, this is one of the issues. trade, the two sides, the european union and china, are very closely linked by trade relations, but they are disproportionate, and in the european union they began to understand that, well , somewhere they are making mistakes, as was the case with russia, on the one hand, it this disparity, and on the other hand, the great dependence of the european union on critical materials that china possesses, and china influences. to supply chains of these goods for the european union, the first thing to think about is how european leaders became a problem even during the pandemic, because it turned out that masks and some medicine, minimal medicine, turned out to be supplied to the european union from china, and when china blocked these supply, because

he needed it for his needs, then in the european union they began to feel a problem, a shortage and... from that time they somehow began to think that, well, everything was not entirely good in their relations with china, and the war was added to this . for us, for ukraine it is important that our european partners constantly emphasize to china that relations with the european union will be built depending on how china will react to russian aggression, and here in the final document it is said that china is... a permanent member of the security council un, so he must eventually, as a serious global player, begin to be responsible for serious global processes, and somehow, by all possible methods, influence russia in this context. in addition, the european union constantly insists that china should not to supply lethal weapons to russia, we know

that certain elements are slipping through there, and also very strongly... criticizes that china is helping russia in the re-export of important various elements, particularly european companies, and therefore warned that this re-export, it is now will be very seriously controlled, and you mentioned 13 companies about these companies, the european leaders took them on a turnkey basis, under the handle and went with this list so far, well, that is , this is the first such a weighty list to indicate what these specific companies are, they deal with the bad. and here we have two choices: either you, the chinese authorities , influence these companies, or we will use sanctions against them. and this story has a little background, because when the talks were being prepared, well, that is, the summits, they have the peculiarity of preparing for a long time and practicing. so, in the summer, 12 chinese companies were already on the list of

the sanctions package of the european union for the fact that they help re-exports. and then. the whole chinese ambassador who is in the european union, he is very much so insisted that china is willing to cooperate with the european union, and there is no need to introduce sanctions against each other. to some extent, he even promised that china would influence these companies and this would not happen again. the europeans took into account these words of the ambassador, they took away the list of companies, just chinese ones, and left only some other countries there. but after some time , the ambassador said, well, actually, this is a matter of business and the chinese government, of course, it cannot influence business, that is, it was very nice that he removed the responsibility, so we see that european leaders began to talk more concretely with china about the purpose of this support in re-exports as well, that is

, it is important for ukraine that relations with the european union and china should still be built from this point of view. because it is a certain safeguard against china joining in full assistance to russia, because you and i see such certain elements of this support, and they are weighty, unfortunately, for the fact that russia can continue the war against us and can stay afloat with a lot of help from china, in particular, unfortunately, ms. natalya is here, i have a clarifying question for you, you said turnover, this trade imbalance. between europe and china, it is due to the fact that china simply produces more, that is, there is nothing to sell, or is it the chinese who do not... let european goods in, what does this mean, that is, what, what, that europe is so poor that there is nothing to sell , is china not

buying, well, because of the communist party and so on, it is clear why, it is connected with unequal conditions, because the chinese market, it is protectionist, the chinese government very heavily subsidizes certain industries, which, well, with on the one hand, for example, chinese goods are cheaper, on the other hand, there really are... companies cannot enter china on equal terms, and this problem has existed for a long time and is being discussed, but unfortunately, until now, europeans were not able to knock out such equal conditions from china, moreover , there was another problem between them, the first main one , what they now have in their circulation, is that in china, china produces a very large number of relatively cheap electric cars , and this electric... and these electric cars flooded the markets of the european union, and the europeans realized that this way of their auto business, it simply will not be able to withstand competition,

and why, for example, this happened because china now pays great attention to green energy, green technologies and very seriously subsidizes this industry , accordingly , europeans cannot compete on price, for example, and there on... what elements with those cars produced by china. and now the europeans are thinking about imposing tariffs on chinese goods and starting to protect their market, as it does china, because china seriously defends its market and in particular from european goods. the chinese, of course, are very dissatisfied with this, and they are threatening the europeans that they will also use certain sanctions, that is, this is such a very debatable issue, and we will see more. there are many such problematic moments in the relations between china and the european union, in particular, those that will concern precisely trade, because that is ms. natalya, ms.

natalya, that is, mr. trump, the former president of the united states, who is criticized in ukraine, he was right in this , when he said, something china trades unfairly, and so i will introduce some some there, well not sa... but also some safeguards there, and biden continued this story, he did not cancel it all, that is, now we understand that in the in industrial policy, in trade policy, the civilized world, let's call it that , it sees that china is quite aggressive and does not play very fair, yes, yes, in fact, the fact that china did not play fair was seen by everyone, and moreover , the europeans, the americans contributed themselves and... paid china extra for the fact that it is not dishonest played, because both the europeans and the chinese actively invested in china, developed production there, in return, you know

, for example, china in order to place production on their territory, it demanded that technology be shared with it, accordingly, in this way china , the former factory of such consumer goods is turning into a country that has certain innovations, a high-tech country, with the help of... european investments, technologies, this dishonest policy, when technologies were taken away, and europeans and americans for to place their production, well, this is capitalism and it, to a certain extent, they cannot influence their business, if the business finds places with a large market and with great opportunities and potential, and accordingly in this way they themselves helped china rise, and then trump, he's really the first one to say i'm going to fight it and started fighting it. we see through tariffs and through certain restrictions, and of course china doesn't like it very much, because from globalization, from open markets, it, as

no one else has gained a lot for its development, and accordingly he is now saying that the americans and europeans are resorting to protectionism, which is wrong, and is acting as a country that wants to support open trade, well, but if you take it inside china itself, then this is far from the case. and its legislation is made in such a direction that most of all contribute, of course, to the development of china itself and its company? well, this is a natural way, you know, i want to tell you that there are such jokes among economists that the usa is very prominent against protectionism, but for many decades, if not centuries, they were crazy protectionists on their lands, at least in the 19th century, half of the 20th, they didn't let everyone in either. to put it mildly, and now, so when they swelled up, they said: no, no, no, we, we are against protectionism, we want equal trade, now china is going in fact the same

way, but here is my question: so flashed such information, you can confirm, if you know, you can deny, i don’t know that such surprises are negative for china, because italy came out of that one belt, one road project, this is literally either this morning or last night, i read somewhere, that is, not everything is going well in china, we see there are problems in pakistan, and we see in the country there are problems, that means , one belt, one road , is it correct, i understand that this fashion is no longer in fashion in the world, that everyone wanted to join, thank god, the ukrainians did not join, and they did not even join under yanukovych, and so on, what do you say , well , actually, look, 10 years is already time to reap the results, and the results have appeared, there is a case of european countries, you mentioned

italy. italy, like many european countries, believed that such an opportunity to join the belt and road would give, open the way for chinese investment in the development of their infrastructure, port, railway and so on, and signed the belt and road, this is one of the western countries, there are not many of them , who signed, joined, but then they weighed it up, took a look and realized that there are no high-quality chinese investments in the country, but this trade, let's go back again, 16 billion italy exports to china, instead about 60 or more than 60, 61 billion to italy, and then in italy in italy, their economists and politicians say, after all, what did joining this belt and road give us, well, we see a big imbalance in that chinese goods have seriously gone to our market, well, actually

speaking, everything. therefore, this economic component, as well as general politics, and thanks to melonia, who now understands that it is necessary to build relations with china in a completely different way, i.e., separately, only trade is transferred to politics and geopolitics and on security, now this is the basis for relations. mrs. natalya, the last question, what was mr. lukashenko doing, we can guess something, why he rushed there, what is he there, what is he there? was looking for, well, mr. lukashenko, you know, he is looking for a guarantee in china for his, well, little leadership political independence, let's say conditionally, if it is still from putin. china is a guarantee that lukashenko will have the elements of statehood in belarus, this is the first. second, of course, being under such chinese sanctions, belarus also needs certain ones trade with china, market search and...

investment funds to attract your country. well, one more element that, for example, i noticed is that lukashenko, who was very seriously involved in this belt of the road that we mentioned, given that belarus is next to the european union, and it served an important logistical route for the transportation of chinese goods to the european union and vice versa, now that it has joined putin's game, it is losing its... logistical attractiveness possibilities, well, not only because the war in ukraine, it diverted many paths to other places and from russia itself, and this reduced the flows through belarus, but also because lukashenko himself, well , first of all, he is creating a migration crisis on the european border, well of course, the europeans have threatened that they will completely close these ways, accordingly , a problem will arise for china that it will be completely blocked by lukashenko's hands,

besides... the location of the cores of tactical nuclear weapons, and this to some extent is inconsistent with china's non-proliferation policy, how not how in some of them still have such dogmas regarding nuclear elements, that is why lukashenko was not invited to the belt and road forum last month, at least he was not there among the 26 leaders who were present, and of course he needed to somehow rehabilitate himself, he needed to re- to negotiate with his friends from china in order to establish these relations. well, to a certain extent, you see, lukashenko calmed down, stopped waving nuclear missiles for a while, let's hope that very much, thank you very much, natalia plakcienko butyrska, expert on issues of east asia, master of foreign policy, we were in touch, we talked about china, now to israel from the far east to the near east, vadym polishchyuk, historian and political commentator.
