now urgent news from germany in one of the pharmacies of the city of karlsruhe, hostages have been taken, as local media report, the police are conducting a large-scale operation. exactly how many people are inside, while it is unknown, law enforcement officers are in contact with the alleged criminal, the territory near the pharmacy is unhooked, we are following the development of events, well, we continue to discuss the main topics of the week to discuss one of the main topics of the week. this is leadership election. china on friday. he took the oath of surprises was not re-elected as chairman of the prc for a third term. let's say it so an unusual event for the people's republic of china had a lot of talk. how this fits into the chinese political tradition, but now all the dots are melted, how this will affect china's domestic policy

and the country's actions in the international arena and will be discussed with the director of the institute of asian and african countries of moscow state university alexey maslo. hello alexey alexandrovich well, this week has passed under a serious chinese sign. uh, they were all chinese. uh, the representatives of the congregation determined the leadership. yes, it was said in many ways a formal procedure, but nevertheless, nevertheless, the fact of electing new leaders took place. how do you comment on all this? let's start with this, firstly, it was absolutely correct that the league's election demise had to happen , and it did. now he reconfirmed his position, as the president of the people's republic of china, i will remind you that there is a third point -

this is the chairman of the central military commission. this is the leadership of the army way, of course, power is consolidated. indeed, there should not have been any serious surprises, but here it is very important to understand that now a group has formally come to power, which has really absolutely rallied around sitting around the ideas that he puts forward. these are very tough , pragmatic-minded people who are well aware that now a very serious game is being played around china, primarily from the side of washington, there is pressure from china. very clear and hard to state who is his opponent, who is his partner and friend in this case, say that relations with russia are in the literal sense of indicative relations, and therefore, of course, this is the main task now before this new party administrative backbone - this is bringing china to a new level, first of all in the field of scientific and technological excellence. and,

of course, the stabilization and further growth of the economy, alexey alexandrovich, but uh, there is a lot going on right now, there really are talks. can you for china e, accelerate development economy. there are forecasts, you probably know very well, this is 5% for this year, and the chinese leaders' economy will grow, but on the one hand for such a powerful huge economy. this is a lot, but everyone is used to larger numbers and they say that this is not so much. in fact. this is a huge figure , practically the first economy in the world. nevertheless, there is a lot of talk about debt. china is trying to undermine it, especially western ones. mass media you read there all the time. the information that china is so unstable, but somehow the chinese authorities comment on this or they they don't notice it. firstly, the chinese authorities commented on this a long time ago, because it seems to them somewhat far-fetched, at least forced. uh, all these accusations , first of all, uh, people who say that it is critical for china to increase its domestic debt. they don't really understand.

where does this domestic debt come from and how the chinese economy works in general, one must understand that china has never been worried about domestic debt debt, for example, small banks before large regional the regional budget before the central budget, because china itself controls its e, yuan, and the chinese, roughly speaking, have two circuits to issue them for external use. e for external relations and for internal due to this economy. china is quite stable. eh, and in this regard , some monthly increases the amount of money supply in the economy by 7-10%. it's generally different. here, uh, any other economy. this would lead to inflation. china, on the contrary , production is being pulled towards cash. the second very important point of course, china faces a lot of challenges, for example, a demographic hole, an increase in the number of the elderly population and a decrease in the young working-age population. but the most important thing for china now is what needs to be overcome.

this is an entrance to the external arena with its new technologies, which are not allowed in, and here it must be taken into account that china has made a colossal breakthrough in the field of modern technologies , primarily to full reality, artificial intelligence of data storage and, in many respects, new microchips in this regard. china, of course, claims to be well, in the truest sense of the world technological dominance and, of course , is experiencing a strong blow from the outside, the united states , which really does not want to give painful primacy. in general, the chinese economy. let it grow at such a rapid pace, as it was a few years ago. she's still very, very stable. but, nevertheless. this is the link, what is it called? than china's america america and it 's strong enough, however, we're hearing enough this week from anyway, uh, there was a very powerful statement by the new head of foreign minister tsingan. i suggest listen to this statement from one of them and then

discuss it. some countries are accustomed to viewing sino-russian relations through the lens of cold war alliances and what they see is their own reflection. sino-russian relations are based on non-alignment, no confrontation , and no targeting of any third party. they do not pose a threat to any country in the world and are not subject to interference or provocations from any third party, with the joint work of china and russia, the world will receive a driving strength towards multipolarity and greater democracy in international relations, and global strategic balance and stability will be better ensured. the more unstable the world becomes, the more important it is for china and russia to steadily develop their relationship. this is the last phrase she heard, da tsingana. it seems to me that it should sound like such a leitmotif. i regarded this as, uh, a warning to the americans, you will

put pressure on us, we will be more friends with the russians. do you need it or not? how would you rate this? well, exactly the same, because that, to be honest, uh, this whole speech is chingan, and i just happened to read it in full. it is built in a completely different, not very respectful manner in relation to the americans. and in general, to western countries, and perhaps, probably, for the first time in recent years, when a leader of such a level, e, calls all things by their proper names, that is, shows that e is going to apply pressure. china will oppose it very hard in this china well in the face of money keeps the window of opportunity open if you want to talk on economic issues and do not be. uh, as said, he has politicized economic interactions. well, welcome, but notice how chinese rhetoric has changed in general. this is the new political narrative. uh, when china became very tough in relation to the usa and the second very important point, china clearly

separates the usa as one side and europe as the other side shows that the euro. and it just depends on the opinion of the united states. therefore, it is necessary to agree with it in a different way. and finally, of course, there is a very clear hint that that russia with which relations are really stable and indicative in this regard, the more china is, the more they try to make an environment of countries that want to compete with china, there is, first of all, in asia well, the more, of course, china will be. uh, it is necessary to strengthen relations with russia, they are strategic, they are just trade or economic tasks. well, he was mentioned to europe, indeed, some regard the visit of scholz. scholz's emergency visit to washington a. uh, as a way to put pressure on america on europe, but in order for it to be colder towards china, i put it so mildly, but the point is to issue an ultimatum

what about the europeans or do you, uh, support, uh, our efforts to fight? with russia or are we building bridges? can it be interpreted this way? situation. i think that i think that this will also be discussed, because it turns out, china all of a sudden. uh, everyone suddenly understood, china has launched its interests into europe quite deeply . this is not just some abstract talk . this is a huge investment. and productions. in general, in many e, european companies and, of course. e europe is literally dependent on chinese investments, because there is nothing wrong with these investments. no. well, of course, the united states really doesn’t like this, which is trying, uh, to bring down just such an anti-chinese uh. the camp, uh, we will add new things to it, australia, to be sure. japan south korea and thus constantly continues to put pressure on china, but china in my opinion. here they offer very

sensible solutions, which everyone has been talking about so much. china does not require that with it political views agreed rushed. let's normalize economically. and relationships, and in politics we can continue to argue. but a lot of people don't like it anymore, because let's be honest. uh, the us is not fighting against some model of china's development, not against individual chinese technologies in the us, they are fighting for the survival of the system that they built, built it well enough, but it turned out that china offers its own alternatives. e your currency system your banking system technological and in general, strange. many faced with a reasonable choice, as in a good store. and this is exactly what now and most of all excites and invigorates, it seems to me, the minds of american politicians. and what do you think, the americans will, after all, take up their heads, decide to really compete, as fair competition would say. he said we don't want war. with

china, we are for fair competition. well, he ’s lying, frankly they themselves accept 5g sanctions , they don’t let huawei zte in, now there are other sanctions. against chinese companies entered into recently they have been threatening new ones, how is this all to be understood? well, this is what america cannot win in a fair race, because formally, after all, america also called for a fair race. it was an honest call that let's develop new technologies to reduce the cost of production. e to make more acceptable not only prices, but also, as it were, the convenience of this life and everything from medicine to technology, but suddenly it turns out that china did just that, and he expected that there would be such fair competition. eh, it turned out not to be. after all, this is precisely the side that i mean exactly in the usa who called for an open discussion of open competition, it is the usa that introduces restrictive measures from evolutionary measures, tariff barriers, and does not allow technology. e, that is, in general, in my opinion, there is a lot

that has turned upside down in the chinese mind, because china understands that there can be no fair competition in this e real politics in this regard. uh, well, maybe the notoriety is good for me that china is changing the decision, because it seemed to me to the last. two more years ago, china thought it was just a matter of negotiation. no, this is actually a question of the survival of a huge western civilization, which, uh, has built a world that is convenient for itself, and now it can be lost or at least shared with other countries. well, that is , the west must see. china is such a subordinate factory of the world makes sneakers. well, maybe some electronics according to designed drawings in california, as the same apple does , designed invented in e. california made in china and this scheme worked really long enough. and yet. you know, uh, unpopular word, i'll say red lines. is there a red line for china when he understands what you have already

said, we have seen this understanding, yes, this week there was a scurvy statement and it is clear that a politician of this level could not do it on his own. yes, this is some kind of general political concept from the ruling circles. it turns out that there will be a moment when china says everything, so that the americans do not say china there, we will do as we need , i mean, communicate with us more actively in different areas and so on. well, as far as i understand, now just in china approached this line. uh, or quite talking about very very red lines. this is, of course, taiwan taiwan issue. put american weapons on taiwan and so on, but that's it, this red line has not yet been crossed, because further, of ​​course, a military catastrophe in asia, which no one would want, nikita, not taiwan, but nevertheless, china finally realized that america is not attacking

china's economic model, they are attacking, in general existence of development. china as such really drive china into the framework of this asia but we are talking about some kind of pinballs in the game after all. china has a billion 400 million people who ask their leadership. and we'll be patient for a while. uh, do we like to be constantly uh, offended? uh, from all sides to say that china is launching balls of spies that are spying on the whole world. uh, i don't like china. it is china that is outraged. and if we look, for example, china social networks, which are of course partially moderated we will see that the chinese public outrage is very great. that is why the chinese leadership is beginning to respond to this. look at the sidimpin rhetoric of ting's last speech in which we spoke to likatian mee, the prime minister of china, and you see, just completely different politicians. this is a different language, a language that speaks, er, and this , in fact, depid does not hide that if we do not start working together now, the world will

not just fall into a catastrophe. they are like not controlled crisis, and therefore china, as a responsible country, is trying to prevent it. did you mean to work together with us or in general with everyone? no , together with everyone else, because the main tasks of china are dialogue, of course, dialogue is dialogue between a wide variety of countries and by chance, for example, this is a dialogue on the ukrainian issue. why are they calling china and as the webingan said very well, we still feel an invisible hand that interferes. e any such dialogue. well, as a matter of fact, uh, they show that many west is absolutely not interested in a real dialogue in a real dialogue. well, plus, in addition to the fact that you need to understand that the longer, the more this situation persists, the more china will realize that there will be no equal dialogue with china and the united states and that's it. it's just fiction. but at the same time, russia has learned to lead china. in my

opinion, a very hornbeam is a competent flexible policy and, frankly, to defend their interests. even with such a gigantic country, some yes, yes, alexey alexandrovich is huge to you. thank you, let's hope that really the trends that are now in china this week, they will continue to be particularly pronounced, thank you very much, we talked with the director of the institute of asian countries of moscow state university lomonosov alexei maslo. sergei lavrov called the western media's version of the nord stream explosions "baby talk" according to the us foreign minister and their allies are at a loss. they don't know what to say, especially after seimar hersh's investigation. here in the german cabinet reservedly responded chancellor scholz took note of the new publication. and i'm glad that the bracelet is not moving forward. well, the wave of materials in the western press does not subside with new revelations

, spiegel magazine shared them, anastasia efimova got acquainted with them . uh, information noise on this topic about andromeda. well, or about another suspicious yacht that moored somewhere around the island last fall. christian everything, according to spiegel, danish the authorities knew and even allegedly conducted an investigation through social networks looking for photos and videos and sports taken between the eighteenth and 22 september. however, the fact that for six months of examinations, in addition to photographs from the public domain, to present copenhagen nothing suggests. what is more important to appoint the guilty to the west? than to install genuine it takes years months of preparation and planning it takes a lot of experience. i must also have the resources and financial resources to buy explosives. i can't just buy it. it's in a

home improvement store, i either buy it on the black sea. what kind of support do i have from a larger organization of the state that provides me that i should rent a yacht or ship. i have to forge passports. this is a whole bunch of resources, a whole bunch of difficulties associated with this operation. but what kind of state is this group of saboteurs, the new york times, although it offered to consider it in no way connected with official kiev, nevertheless called pru ukrainian unambiguously, hinting. which country in the current conditions, it is necessary to consider those involved in the terrorist attack on gas pipelines, only this version raises a number of questions, russian telegrams. experts reasonably point out that the level of execution of sabotage is available to very few structures, and the kiev ones are definitely not among them. but those who are actually interested and capable of committing a crime of this level are now being investigated, and we would hear every day in the news as necessary. this is an investigation right now, and the lack of political will

for this investigation tells us. what the alleged perpetrator is the us government everything that is happening now in the western media, of course, no investigation, rather informational noise, which is designed to divert attention from the true culprits of the terrorist attack and nullify any possibility of an objective trial. investigations are underway in a number of countries in denmark and sweden, and the frg does not involve us in these investigations. not because we don't want to, but because we are kept aloof, we are denied access to any information not give to participate, despite the fact that we are the affected party. they just write letters to us. they say we do what we do, and you mind your own business, to be transparent, we will publish all this correspondence very soon and circulate it among the members of the security council, shifting the blame to ukraine the west does not risk anything on the one hand. an innocent victim of the terrible russian aggression has been sculpted from it for so long that now it will not turn out to admit a mistake and the tongue

will not turn. on the other hand, even if it comes to official accusations, you can always say what happened by kiev initiative and wash their hands. that is why they are trying their best to ignore the russian position, which , however, is unlikely to succeed, as sergei lavrov clarified in an interview with the minister of foreign affairs, this is a gross terrorist attack. no, anastasia yefimova will remain uninvestigated. another very important news of this week, the biden administration presented the draft federal budget for the next year, which begins on october 1 of this year. it provides for record spending on defense, as well as on social article. well, the problem is that, by and large , americans are forced to spend unearned money. and in january of this year, the so-called public debt ceiling of almost $32 trillion was reached in the united states. well, now the us treasury

is essentially working in an emergency mode, spending money on current needs and future expenses. this opportunity will end in july this year and so on the us treasury will not be able to fulfill its obligations, nevertheless, the biden administration expects to convince its republican opponents parties to raise this very ceiling of the public debt. well, here it must be said that the circus performance with the ceiling has been going on for many years. every time the money runs out in the us get organized. debates over where to get them, whether to cut spending, or again essentially print new money. each time the intrigue does not work, the volume is long. it just increases the current conditions, the situation is changing somewhat, so the us congressional budget office unexpectedly announced that, having calculated all items of income, expenditure, default on obligations is inevitable this summer, even if the state ceiling is raised again for a long time, that is, the united states. threatens. the so-called technical default. this is when the accounts of the ministry of finance

are empty, and it cannot make current payments for some time, but this does not mean, of course, complete bankruptcy. it’s just that payments will be stretched out in time as new money comes into the budget, of course, such a development of events is not one hundred percent likely, but the largest us financial institutions, in particular bank of america , are preparing for this just in case, but the problem it's impossible to be 100% insured against this. technical default global financial markets are waiting for serious tests. this is especially true of the so-called risky assets, which include assets of developing countries and the strangest thing is the world financial system is arranged. so even with a default in america itself, the us dollar will grow paradoxically, the country is in default, and its currency is growing. it has been so many times already that this is explained by the fact that investors believe that america's temporary dollar problem will remain evergreen, and therefore goes into cash, that is, american cash american

dollar, of course, this cannot be explained by normal human logic, but the system is arranged that way by world bankers. this will cause the cost of commodities to be denominated in dollars. bonds will also start to fall in price, and the yield will grow accordingly. this is especially true for bonds with a long maturity period of high duration, and the price of shares will also fall. unfortunately, even gold will not protect against all this while it is trading. in dollars in short, a us default will drastically reduce the liquidity of the global financial system. simply put, everyone needs cash. and this will manifest, uh , the lack of the dollar as a world reserve currency, that is, the problems of the united states will spread to the whole world and the states will solve them, as usual, at our expense. this has happened many times in history, however, the world political situation. after its start, it changes dramatically, namely , the delarization of the world economy has sharply accelerated, which

scares the us authorities, this is what makes them make international political decisions that are not based on any rules. no matter how much they talk about the world order based on these same american rules. yes, in america there is still time to solve financial problems at the expense of others. well, yes, they need to resolve the russian issue from here, the current escalation of the ukrainian conflict, explosions of gas pipelines, and other steps are more like terrorist acts than normal political actions based precisely on international law so once again, as it happened in 2008 during the global financial crisis , problems in the american real estate sector then led to a great recession, the whole world paid with the problems of their economies , let me remind you, then the big twenty was reanimated, and the 20 largest economies in the world. we came together again like 1999 to lessen the impact of the economic problems of today's states on the rest

of the world. and in fact, give the green light to de-dalorization, the world economy. american diplomats need. they are slowly turned this topic off and the last meeting of the g20 is more reminiscent of a club of political interests than a body designed to solve the economic problems of the world. so, the united states has until mid-summer to convince the whole world of its ability to pay, most likely, they will succeed again. and for this , there are two ways to go to extreme measures, namely to declare a technical default. to delay payments, blame our country for this, of course, but in fact, as they say in certain circles, just throw the whole world away. there is another way, softer sharply ease international tensions by escalating the ukrainian conflict and softening the rhetoric against china, thus reducing costs to world economies. that will curb inflation and lower interest rates. yes, this will not solve all problems. uh america in the moment. well, it will

buy time to solve them. but we don’t know what to decide or is it the united states in these difficult conditions for them, hence these debates between republicans and democrats, they have different approaches, about which i have already said. well, we are closely following the american debate in congress. once again , i would like to clarify as long as the dollar is the main reserve currency. unfortunately, we are forced to observe these same debates. we are also watching the state of us bank shares on wednesday and thursday. they collapsed to the maximum value since the middle of the twentieth year, that is, at the height of the pandemic , the reason was the critical situation of a silicon valley bank with assets of $ 220 billion, which was served by a venture for capitalists, this business is very sensitive to the level of the interest rate, and it, in turn, as we said above, is very dependent on budgetary problems, the united states

today two new polyclinics were opened in mariupol , built by specialists from st. mariupol plans to restore more than 90 kindergarten schools, the work involved, including builders from the moscow region total of 6,000 people on how to revive, the city reportage. evgeny davydov mariupol alone today grandiose construction work is carried out by specialists from different regions of the country. the governor of st. petersburg arrived to check the progress of work, and near the northern capital in mariupol, there are several facilities, one of the most important medical complex in the primorsky district. there are short terms at the site of the destroyed building. polyclinics have erected several buildings, since we are sister cities and schools and kindergartens . uh, hospital polyclinics are standard in st. petersburg, so both

in our city and mariupol are a plus. still, of course, you need the help of specialists we have agreed on the doctors already the first batch of doctors working for us specialists. here in petersburg here. the most modern equipment has been brought in and the equipment is now being recruited . first patients. it will appear here the other day, there have always been direct arrivals with destruction, ceilings falling , permission to the wall, st. petersburg, they sent it and everything was on top. it was so touching and desirable that our employees walked with tears in their eyes and gratitude for what they are waiting for in mariupol in the queue, of course, modern housing in the city, new neighborhoods with kindergartens, schools and sports grounds are growing in those houses that can be restored repair facades supply electricity, heat and water sixteen-story hostel building, it looked quite recently. this is how more than 700 families will be settled here in the near future. these are the people who expect to receive full-fledged apartments. well, after that, the buildings

will be turned into an office center, or into a hotel , another object is the drama theater, which was blown up in the spring of last year. the main thing they say restorers survived the facade of the building. the mariupol drama theater is a place for residents of the city, of course, a landmark, now restoration work is in full swing here, builders. they promise the theater will look the same as before. the building was built more than 60 years ago by the very same theatrical corpse. for almost a century and a half, russian and foreign classics by tolstoy and pushkin were staged here . both shakespeare and, of course, modern playwrights bulgakov and shukshin need to make history a thread. history here is very different.
