- lnxg33k1 2y agoThat's a great website, I didn't know it, thanks!
- jasonvorhe 2y agoWorld peace would happen tomorrow if no one showed up for any of our rulers wars - and yet here we are.
- mathgradthrow 2y agoA lot of people actually want to fight.
- jasonvorhe 2y agoDo you really think so? In my experience most people just want to live their lives, do their thing. I don't think people would be fighting each other as much if it wasn't for the constant "see what these people/nations/terrorists are doing" reporting in the media.
- leereeves 2y agoWhat's the point of listing Chinese companies on that site? China is supporting Russia.
- belter 2y agoIt's about stopping to do Business with Russia. Chinese companies would drop Putin support within 24 hours, if it would hurt their pocket.
- leereeves 2y agoAfter what happened to Jack Ma, Chinese companies aren't going to go against Chinese government policy under any circumstances.
- red-iron-pine 2y agoWould they? They can charge a 25% markup across the board for stuff going to Russia, and the price they pay is losing out on access to European and US markets. Depending on what they're selling they either don't care, aren't big dogs in those markets, or can just create a new shell company to avoid the sanctions.
- belter 2y agoThe Russian market economy is very small. Smaller than France or Germany. This has been analyzed before and the conclusion is that China over produces, and they need a lot more the US and European market than Europa and the US needs China.
- hollerith 2y agoAgree. Also, the reason China exports so much is that encouraging export manufacturing is the most efficient way Beijing has to increase the economic prospects of the average young Chinese man. They care about that because if the prospects of the average Chinese young man stagnates, Beijing runs a serious risk of losing control of the country through riots and various revolutionary social movements as has happened many times in Chinese history. In summary, it is a weakness in Chinese society (along with the fact that Washington has been co-operative at least until recently) that is the underlying cause of why China exports so much.
