a keen interest in seeing stability in the country, which plays a vital role in regional trade. but discuss why 2 german shipyards have filed for insolvency after the hong kong and has ran out of money. now the finger pointing has begun on the going is good for gold prices have been rising for the past 2 decades, but we'll look at the illegal mining industry that's built up around it. this is the to be business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program. the world has watched on with concern the last 2 weeks have seen the worst violence in cassock stand since it gains independence from the soviet union 3 decades ago. the countries importance in terms of raw materials and trade, has made the unrest of particular interest to europe and neighboring russia, and is massive neighbor to the east. china is also watching closely the core gross logistic center on the chinese contact quarter shows how important kazakhstan is

for china. freight trains set off from here in the direction of europe. cor gross is a vital link in china is built in rude initiative. and kazakstan as acted as a secure transit drudgery for european market. china also relies on kazakstan for raw materials. the country has launched deposits of copper, uranium, zinc, gold, coal, and oil. the more than 2000 kilometer among pipeline from the caspian sea pumps. 20000000 tons of oil to china. every year kazakhstan is also an important transit country for gas from truck men is stun. no wonder china is interested in its neighbors stability. while china is willing to increase cooperation with kazakhstan in law enforcement and security, yet as the jungle maintain the security of the political systems and regimes of the 2 countries prevent and oppose any attempt at cover revolution and jointly oppose

the interference and infiltration of any external forces in order to ensure the major cooperation between china and kazakhstan, goes on safely and smoothly. i can enter in addition to the economic ties, there are sensitive political interests that play kazakhstan, borders directly on the chinese province of tion. john, the muslim minority of rigorous living there is according to the assessment of many oppressed by china and forced into camps many of connections the kazakhstan, the current unrest in kazakhstan, spilling over the border is something that china wants to avoid at all costs. well, let's get more on this from our residents, china watch a, clifford can. and cliff a great to have you on. and i, the started this, china was talking about what was happening in kazakhstan as an internal issue. but

since then, it has become a bit more vocal talking about economic support sending and possible security support. why we seeing that change from china? morning, rob, i think china has several priorities here. the 1st one is, is, is energy security. it's an obsession with china as well as with most government. and how's that sound is a key part in the ensuring that china has enough oil and natural gas. one fixed of it's natural gas comes from context on or through cars next on past quantities. but all are coming through there, so they need as much stability as possible there. and i think another thing which change them is the fact that russia intervened. russia and china hubs, what you'd call it best, a fraction relationship. but at the moment it's a salo does, it's going to ever be on there. i think the fact that russia was able to intervene meant that china was able to be a bit more vocal in how it felt about what was going on there. and also,

as it was mentioned, the word, the word in the report, the words color revolution can have a chilling effect in china because it's always afraid of a popular uprising over throwing power. so once the overturning it's government in china, so once you have words that dash, i think china is going to step up the rhetoric and i think that's what we're seeing here. there is a key strategic position. the catholic stand holds particularly for about and rows . so what was the potential impact for belgian rows of this? well, the borders nearly 1800 kilometer long with between china and cars next time. in many ways, china has been delta funny, geopolitical honda got so many borders in the region and bells and road is part of the way of obviously spreading chinese influence within those bordering countries and beyond. but also in as far as we can insure in economic stability in those places or is hearing that it can cabins, economic influence in those bordering countries. and i visited course

a few years ago, which is one of the towns on the border between cars, extended china. and it's amazing to see just how much trade goes through there and how much is going back and forth this far as europe on trains on freight. so this is a key part of our child is belgian road initiative. and it's going to do it to make sure it keeps particularly the closest neighbors like target start like how much time and the other neighbors that can keep them as close as possible and closely matched the bells and wrote initiative. okay, clifford can, and thank you very much for bringing this up to date on that. clearly a lot of potential knock on effects for china, from situation and has extended the moment next, the blame game has begun. after 2 german shipyards declared bankruptcy this week, they declared themselves himself and after their hong kong owners failed to reach

a financing deal with germany, government, everything normal uncertainty for the size, thousands of employees and the project projects they're leaving unfinished. the global dream has room for almost $10000.00 passengers, but it's a dream that might never come true malaysian owner again. ting was set to spend 1500000000 euros on the ship, which is 3 quarters built, but now getting cancer bits at sloan earlier this week, and fall belton, the german shipyard building, the global dream filed for bankruptcy to the shock of its 2000 employees the pandemic has up ended the truce ship industry with implications for the entire holding company. for getting beer, heart profits haft in 2020 and the news wasn't any better in 2021. jennings, main business isn't resorts and casinos. it's also dealing in agriculture and real estate. the company's crews business is listed at the hong kong stock exchange. and
