The Far East is given to the Chinese. Who is the boss in the Far East: China or Russia
Already the current older generation of forced Russians, born back in the USSR, will find the collapse and death of Russia
Already the current older generation of forced Russians, born back in the USSR, will find the collapse and death of Russia. After the loss of most of Siberia, the North Caucasus, the turn of the Kuban will come, which will be facilitated by a series of unrest in the surviving regions. At the moment, Russia is actually bogged down simultaneously in several conflicts on its borders with neighboring states and the number of these conflicts will increase. At the moment, Putin and his entourage have taken a number of steps of a clearly anti-Russian orientation, which over the next few years will completely destroy the current state.
The first thing that comes to mind when you meet the Siberian military in the vastness of Donbass, disguised as “militiamen of Novorossiya”, you want to ask - guys, do you know that you and while you are fighting here in a foreign country and you are being buried in the ground under the tabular “soldier number such and such”? Sold back in 2010.
The Chinese authorities leased 426.6 thousand hectares of border land in Russia for agricultural needs. This is reported by the Xinhua news agency with reference to the regional Chinese agricultural commission. The land is located on the border area: the length of the borders of Heilongjiang with the Jewish autonomous region and the Khabarovsk Territory reaches 3 thousand km - writes "Free Press".
Part of the land was leased by the Chinese company Zoje Resources Investment (115 thousand hectares) in the Trans-Baikal Territory for 49 years. Entrepreneurs signed a contract with the government of Transbaikalia last week, FlashSiberia reports. The cost of using the territory will be one and a half billion rubles. The company intends to invest 24 billion rubles in the territories that have been empty since the times of the USSR.
The following areas of activity are planned: poultry and livestock breeding, cultivation of cereals, oilseeds, fodder crops and pharmaceutical herbs. Provided that the company's activity in the first three years will be successful, entrepreneurs will receive a second land plot, increasing the leased area to 200,000 hectares. The government of Transbaikalia announced its intention to cooperate with the Chinese corporation at the beginning of the month. On June 10, the Chinese newspaper Renmin Ribao published a message from Zoje Resources Investment that an agreement had been signed between the government of the Trans-Baikal Territory and a subsidiary of Huae Sinban. Russian officials expect that three-quarters of the jobs created will be occupied by local residents.
At the same time, the administration of the regional city of Mudanjiang already disposes of 146.6 thousand hectares of arable land in Russia. The “possessions” of this city in Russia increased by 42% compared to last year, Xinhua points out. The Mudanjiang administration is also the operator of 16 grain processing enterprises in the Far East (from elevators to flour mills).
However, few people know that the lease of land along the border with China also includes the development of subsoil, and in the event of such a likely development, China gets the right to expand the territory if the area of deposits so requires.
“In China, the population density is growing in the territories adjacent to the borders of Russia. Only in two provinces located near the border in the Far East, 141 million people live, and in the Far East and Eastern Siberia- only 6 million people. Russians from the Far East and Eastern Siberia are fleeing to the European part of the country because they see no prospects for themselves and are afraid for their safety. The reason is the Chineseization of these territories under the slogan of strategic partnership. Soon there will be more ethnic Chinese in the Far East and Eastern Siberia than Russians, they can dictate their own terms and conditions. The task is to prepare for the occupation of the Far East and Eastern Siberia.” - Alexander Aladin, an expert on China issues, says in an interview.
Against this background, one story looks strange. In 1995, the Federation Council of Russia approved an agreement called the Production Sharing Agreement. It was a special type of joint venture agreement. Typically, a production sharing agreement is an agreement entered into between a foreign mining company (contractor) and a state-owned enterprise (state party) authorizing the contractor to conduct exploration and exploitation within a certain area (contract territory) in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In 2000, more than 200 mineral deposits were operated under this agreement. Russia essentially received royalties from foreign companies, mostly funded by the United States. However, already during Putin's rule, the treaty was revised. Of the 200 fields in development, 2 remained at the beginning of 2015.
It is strange that the terms of China's lease of land in the Far East do not even provide for any royalties, but only a rent of ... 5 US dollars per 1 hectare of land per year. In total, the total amount of rent per year is less than the cost of one modern military fighter. It is strange that huge territories adjacent to the border with China have been leased. And there is another very important detail - the leased territory blocks the main transport artery of the Far East, and throughout Siberia - the Trans-Siberian Railway for tens and hundreds of kilometers. You just have to cut it for a month and ...
Inside from the Kremlin about the sale of Siberia ...
The rumor about the sale of Siberia in the Kremlin corridors began to circulate back in 2009. At the end of 2009, President and Chairman of the People's Republic of China Hu Jintao approved cooperation programs between the border regions of Russia and China for 2009-2018. In particular, the Chinese rent land for growing soybeans, rice and vegetables in the Jewish autonomous region. At the end of May 2010, the governor of the Jewish Autonomous Region Alexander Vinnikov even paid an official visit to Chinese province Heilongjiang to establish "sister-city relations". China did not start renting land from Russia yesterday, Svobodnaya Pressa writes. Sources say that the main reason for this desire to “lease Siberia” was the exorbitant expenses of the Kremlin elite and horrendous corruption.
As a result, despite the fact that the world conjuncture contributed to the growth of the Russian economy, in fact, colossal funds ended up in pockets in the form of palaces, yachts, countless corteges and stupid sets of Faberge eggs. At the border of 2011, the question arose for the first time and was formulated as follows - “how can we retain power, do nothing and receive interest from Russian land and its population.” The issue was also resolved simply - China, according to the source, turned out to be more dodgy. Where by bribing, and where by acting openly, China began to acquire land a few years ago, gradually promising big profits. China also offered to accumulate the money of the Russian elite in their banks in Asia, where it was easier to hide them in the event of European sanctions. Thus, part of the Kremlin’s entourage imperceptibly joined the trade, the finale of which, according to experts, was incomprehensible to outside observers the negotiations in Beijing between Putin and the Chinese leadership in May 2015.
"Among major areas cooperation are called the strengthening of the “comprehensive energy partnership”, including in the exploration and development of fuel and energy resources, as well as increasing the scale of investment cooperation and “promoting at an accelerated pace” large investment projects.” - blurry reports the press service of the President of Russia, while paying more attention to the hypothetical gas supplies to China. However, the main thing on the surface is the exploration of deposits and the "advancement at an accelerated pace" of large investment projects. And after a short time, the details of these “investment projects” begin to surface.
It is no coincidence that China leases land in Transbaikalia. The control of Transbaikalia for China is the key to control all of Siberia. It is here that the two largest transport arteries pass, which feed the entire Western Siberia, the Far East and Kamchatka. By controlling them, China completely controls the region, an area comparable to its own territory. And this will happen soon enough, or rather, at the signing of a new treaty, when Russia will be in even more unfavorable conditions now, but more on that in the next part. For now, it is enough that the population is leaving this region, which is facilitated by “strange” fires that occur everywhere in Transbaikalia, which annually burn out an area comparable to the area of Moscow.
For example, fires in the Trans-Baikal Territory Russian Federation could arrange sabotage groups. This was stated, in particular, at a meeting in Chita by the plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation in the Siberian federal district Nikolai Rogozhkin, but he was immediately silenced, and indeed in Russia it is forbidden to talk on television about fires in Siberia. More important, after all, is “what’s with the crests”, however, in the light of the above, the sabotage trail fits into the overall picture of squeezing out the population.
“We can’t raise it,” an insider told the reason for such a policy. “Everyone steals and sells. So isn't it better to sell everything en masse to those who raise and receive deductions? So we will give everything except oil, gas and diamonds. The idea to live like a rentier is not ours, it is from the Chekists. Yes, in general, they live like that, because they only know how to squeeze and rent out. Gazprom will soon be bankrupt, Rosneft is actually bankrupt. And I want to rule until death. And then - at least the flood "
Destruction and genocide of the population of Siberia - why?
Journalist Yuri Pankov wrote this travel diary around Bratsk and neighboring cities in the fall of 2010 while traveling in Siberia. On the example of one diary, it becomes clear that this land has been abandoned, the decision has been made.
“From Ulan-Ude, my daughter went by train to Moscow, and I got off at Angarsk, where I was met by an old friend. As a result, we drove north through different cities - Zima, Usolye Sibirskoe, Sayansk, Tulun.
Now I am in Bratsk. It's already the fifth day.
It defies description. It feels like I am in the early 90s. This is expressed in everything and, above all, in the incredible number of gangsters and drunks. There are no churches at all. The first thing that seemed suspicious was the incredible popularity of taxis. A city the size of a Moscow district and a population of 260,000 people is simply flooded with them. In the courtyard of the five-story building, you can see 2-3 parked, approaching or departing checkered cars.
Then it turned out that simple people here they go by taxi even for bread (as in the "Diamond Hand"), because in all seriousness they are afraid of thieves and murderers. Taxis are the most common public transport. In any part of the city are taken for 60 rubles. The car is called by phone and it drives up literally within 2-3 minutes. After midnight, the city simply dies out.
In winter, in the middle of the day, they can tear off a fur hat from a passer-by or take off a sheepskin coat. Take away in the summer Cell phones, pluck gold jewelry, chains. Everything that can be plucked, taken away, etc.
A teacher in a rural school earns 3.5 thousand rubles. Deputy chief physician of the fraternal city hospital - 10 thousand rubles
Haven't seen a sober one yet. Taiga is cut mercilessly. According to the mayor, forests remained in the Bratsk district for 30 years. (Everything is cut down there by the company "", in which D. Medvedev worked, and which in the 90s carried out a deal to sell shares of this company to the Americans. So everything belongs to them here.)
In a word, Siberia and the Far East are unequivocally lost. Everyone here scolds the Chinese, but they understand that nothing good can be expected from them except. Good - Chinese husband, work in a Chinese company, Chinese fruits, Chinese restaurants, holidays in China.
For some reason, no one is interested in books. Although at the Irkutsk railway station it was possible to buy a collection of V. Rasputin with his autograph for 150 rubles. best gift from a trip to Siberia can not be invented.
A siren periodically roars over the city, as during the war. This informs that the Bratsk Timber Processing Plant (BLPC) begins to emit waste. Through the pipe, stupidly - straight into the sky. The plant is located almost in the center of the city. The smoke is constantly coming out, but when a siren is heard, a terrible howl, some real chemistry begins to be released, and the citizens immediately close the windows, their noses heal and everything else. The stench is wild. It comes in waves. It stinks worse than in a public toilet. Something vomit-sour.
(It is very sad when this stench covers the city on the bright holiday of September 1, Knowledge Day. Children in white shirts and bows with flowers walk along the smelly streets of the city-garbage). On the other side of the city is BrAZ - the Bratsk aluminum plant.
From there, thick smoke just constantly pours out, like from some kind of thermal power plant. And all for the city. On the third side is the Bratsk hydroelectric power station. Nothing happens there. But from there they are constantly waiting for some kind of nightmare, like the one that happened a year ago at the Sayano-Shushenskaya station. On the fourth side - the so-called. Brotherly Sea.
Do you remember “Farewell to Mother” by V. Rasputin? Here in 1967 hundreds of villages and cemeteries were flooded. Nevertheless, people here are fishing with might and main and do not disdain. (For comparison: it is impossible to fish in the so-called Krasnoyarsk Sea because of the flooded cemeteries).
The average salary here is 8 thousand rubles. Children were seen kneeling at the railroad crossing and begging. Putin and Medvedev in these parts are called simply: "queers."
In general, the place is wildly depressing. But very interesting. I managed to rent a 3-room apartment, however, without a washing machine and with a terrible electric stove. But the bathroom has a jacuzzi. The house, by the way, is a Khrushchev five-story building, and redevelopment was made in the apartment. Studio, damn it! All pleasure - 8 thousand per month. I'll live here for a couple of weeks. I will travel, I will enjoy communication with natives and native women.
I have been to several district towns and villages. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! .. It is simply impossible to imagine such poverty. A local doctor told me that some children go to school without underwear. Scary? A local store sells Wim-Bill-Dann Lionoz milk for 46 rubles. per litre. Tangerines - 150 rubles. But a lot of cheap vodka.
Completely forgot! The sex ratio here is 1 to 3. That is, there is one man for three women! Therefore, very often mother and daughter live with one man. Full of mothers aged 15-16 years. I cry. Because of this, there are many lesbians.
Yes, I forgot to say. Was in the city of Zima. Rule the ball - United Russia. For the second year the local maternity hospital has been boarded up. The population of the city is 34 thousand people. 600-700 children are born per year. Women are forced to give birth in ambulances that are booked for the right day. Who does not have time - at home. The nearest cities - Angarsk, Kuitun, Irkutsk - 150-200 kilometers. Sayansk - 24 km. But not everyone has cars and money for a taxi. All in all, don't get there.
And further. For the so-called. Brotherly Sea, there are many villages in the taiga. The distance between them is 100-700 kilometers. Off-road - on the ferry - again on broken roads. Some villages are quite small. Some - 1000-2000 people.
If a person dies, the corpse must be taken to Bratsk. It must be loaded onto something, taken to the ferry, transported to the other side, taken to the mortuary, registered, and then delivered across the sea in the same way, to the native village to the cemetery.
Such a round-trip trip in the company of a dead person costs wild dollars by local standards, and it takes three days. Therefore, the dead are simply not registered here, they are buried in the ground just like that.
Of the 320 residents of one village who are of age, only 200 survived. They still send a pension for some dead grandmothers, the locals divide it and drink it away. And in the elections, their votes are bought up either by United Russia or by the Liberal Democratic Party. The fact is that the local election commission may consist entirely of relatives. They receive bribes of 50-60 thousand (for all) from party agitators and at the end of the election day they mark the dead as having appeared and put a tick in front of the party that paid.
Do you know that our Siberia is not electrified? The wires have not been laid so far, although there are a lot of power plants, and the most powerful in Europe: Sayano-Shushenskaya, Bratskaya, Ust-Ilimskaya, Irkutskaya. Boguchanskaya is being built. But the wires under the Soviet regime did not have time to bring everywhere. And the edross don't care. Lines pull only to the west. But nothing. At camp sites (even on Baikal!) sometimes light is given to the houses from a diesel engine for 3-4 hours in the evening and for an hour in the morning. Although in some electricity, of course, there is. But there accommodation per day costs about four thousand. My daughter and I brought a kerosene burner into the room and heated tea on it.
Everywhere differently crappy, uncomfortable, but equally beautiful. This “beautiful” removes all negativity. But if you imagine the life of the so-called. "Siberians" - it's such a horror that it's better not to think. Moreover, I was here 24 years ago. Then, although they scolded life, they tried to improve it. And now everything is aimed only at pumping money out of nature. Ilim Pulp pays 30,000 rubles to lumberjacks who spend weeks hacking in the taiga.
But at the same time, by agreement with the district administration, it no longer pays any (!) Funds for local social programs, roads, forest restoration. By the way, he's been here for 30 years. I read about this in an interview with the mayor of the fraternal district. He hopes the forest will grow. But this is not true. Cedar does not recover so quickly.
I already wrote that in Irkutsk region, Bratsk really lacks men. Therefore, very often mother and daughter live with one man. I even met one of these yesterday. She lives with her mother, stepfather and stepfather's child. You imagine?…
Full of mothers aged 15-16 years. They are afraid to have abortions here, because gynecology is pre-revolutionary, and after the “procedure” infertility is guaranteed.
Lots of lesbians. Unthinkable! And not only among young people. Local men after 40 years old are completely impotent.”
How long will Siberia last? 10 more years? 20? But Siberia is not as important as Ukraine and the Caucasus, however, both Ukraine and the Caucasus have already been lost in the Kremlin.
Where is the truth and where is fiction in the reports about the "sale of the Motherland"
The news that the government of the Trans-Baikal Territory leased 115 thousand hectares of land to a Chinese agricultural company for a period of 49 years caused a real stir in the media. Information about this was disseminated in the morning by several radio stations and Internet portals. The mood of the messages is panic. And the comments to them are even more beautiful. The general meaning is as follows: "China's creeping expansion into Russia has begun", "The Motherland is being sold in pieces"...
In the Moscow region, the Chinese have been growing tomatoes for several years. Last summer, the MK correspondent visited them.
The Trans-Baikal news agencies did not give too much space to the event and presented it purely in an informational vein. According to local press reports, the Chinese company Huae Xinbang, which is located in Zhejiang province, signed an agreement with the government of the Trans-Baikal Territory to lease 115,000 hectares of land for 49 years. The Chinese will grow rapeseed and other crops there.
The volume of Chinese investments should be about 24 billion rubles. Among the terms of the agreement is not only the lease of these lands, but then, in case of successful work for three years, another 200,000 hectares. At the same time, the journalists refer to the Chinese newspaper Renmin Ribao, which published the news. “The wasteland is located in Transbaikalia, its length common border with the south and southeast of China and Mongolia is 1500 km. According to the announced calculations, the lease of fallow lands and pastures will be 250 rubles per hectare per year, the total amount for 49 years will be 176 million yuan (about $28 million),” the Chinese newspaper reports.
In fact, the Chinese have long and diligently mastered the Siberian and Far Eastern lands. Back in late 2009, President Dmitry Medvedev and Chinese President Hu Jintao approved cooperation programs between the border regions of Russia and China for 2009-2018. After that, the practice of leasing vacant land to the Chinese became quite common in the region. For example, in the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Khabarovsk Territory, Chinese villagers rent about 426.6 thousand hectares of land for growing soybeans, rice and vegetables. Local authorities do not see any problems in this. According to them, the Chinese bring their equipment here, attract their workers. But it is still difficult to call it an invasion: for example, over the past years, 2.5 thousand Chinese have been involved in the cultivation of these lands in the region. None of them asked for Russian citizenship during this time.
However, a number of politicians still believe that by renting land,. For example, Vladimir Pozdnyakov, a State Duma deputy from Transbaikalia and the Amur Region, told worried media that China wants to take Russian territory up to the Urals. As proof of this version, some even cite the words of some Siberian shaman: “And an unarmed enemy will come to our land, and seize the lands to the very mountains, and a huge power will fall ... the world of many faces will disappear, a brother will become like a brother.”
In order to emphasize the apocalyptic nature of what is happening, a number of media outlets even recalled the December speech of the ex-leader " Russian newspaper”, Russian nationalist Boris Mironov, where he accused the Russian leadership of handing over 4 million hectares of land to China in the Trans-Baikal Territory: 2 million hectares in the Tungiro-Olekminsky region, more than 900 thousand hectares in the Mogochinsky region, 500 thousand hectares in Sretensky and 300 thousand hectares in Gazimuro-Zavodsky and Krasnochikoysky districts. “This is one and a half Crimea!” Mironov was indignant.
There are indeed agreements to lease two million hectares of forest in the Tungiro-Olekminsky district to China as part of a priority federal project for the construction of the Amazar Pulp Mill. True, the Chinese will be able to use the right to lease only in 2017. And even then it’s not a fact that they will take advantage of it ... Firstly, the local population is protesting against the transfer of forests, which are hunting grounds for indigenous peoples. And secondly, the Chinese themselves are in no hurry to enter into “rights”. In October last year, it was the Chinese side that terminated the lease agreement for those same 900,000 hectares in the Mogochinsky District. In their opinion, the wood there is of poor quality. And according to the foresters of the Tungiro-Olekminsky district, the Chinese, who came to study the land planned for surrender in this area, "did not like the forest." This means that they can refuse to rent there. So, it is quite possible that Mr. Mironov is panicking in vain.
Some Internet journalists cited the words of Wang Haiyun, senior adviser of the China Institute for International Strategic Studies, as proof of the malicious intent of the Chinese side. Allegedly, in his article in the Huanqiu Shibao newspaper, he allegedly stated the following: "If the issue of large-scale involvement of Chinese labor is not resolved legally, there can be no question of any long-term cooperation with Chinese agricultural enterprises." That is, wait for the invasion. As they say, everyone sees what he wants. Indeed, in continuation of these words, Wang Haiyun writes: “The parties can, through bilateral consultations, create standards for managing the orderly flow of labor. Thus, the problem of Russia’s concern about the presence of Chinese citizens on its territory will be resolved.” And one more phrase from his article: “It is necessary to completely eradicate the absurd statements that “China, expanding agricultural cooperation with Russia, is actually trying to quietly expand.” External expansion does not coincide with the cultural traditions of the PRC, and even more so with its policy towards the Russian Federation. This is a provocation by hostile forces aimed at worsening our relations with Moscow.”
It is clear that politicians only say what is beneficial to them. Just like online publications, they pick up and spread the news, turning it into an “international trend”. For example, I am more than sure that the news about 115,000 hectares of Trans-Baikal land was linked to the statements of Boris Mironov six months ago precisely because he compared the situation with the Crimea. Two years ago, the same commentators were outraged that Ukraine had leased 3 million hectares of land to the Chinese. “This is 5% of the country’s territories, comparable to Belgium alone,” they wrote then. There are no Chinese on those lands now, but there are fighting.
Of course, there are issues with the lease of Russian land by Chinese producers. And there are a lot of them. The use of pesticides, uncontrolled deforestation, the destruction of wildlife in the leased areas ... Only by shouting: “Help! They sold their homeland! - You can't solve the situation.
Andrey Vinogradov, Head of the Center for Political Research and Forecasts, Institute of the Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences told whether the "Chinese expansion" is so terrible as it is painted.
— Firstly, the practice of leasing land to Chinese producers is quite common. Both here in Russia and in a number of other countries. In Ukraine, for example. From the point of view of economic relations, there is nothing reprehensible in this. There is a benefit on the one hand, a benefit on the other. As for the safe use of land, this should be ensured by our state. We have legislation, we just need to organize work that would monitor the compliance of Chinese land exploitation with our standards. We are thinking about the rules when our Russian companies cultivate the land. The same should apply to Chinese tenants. As for the fears associated with the fact that the lands will then go to China, from the point of view of eligibility, this is a far-fetched question. Here, too, much depends on us. If we have a normal, strong country that can ensure sovereignty, then there will be no questions. So these are purely economic ties, in which I do not see anything terrible.
REFERENCE "MK"
Lease of land by companies of one country on the territory of another is a fairly common practice in recent years, especially among the Middle and Far Eastern states.
So, in 2008, The Financial Times, while disclosing the details of the deal, reported that a well-known South Korean company had leased 1.3 million hectares of arable land in Madagascar for 99 years to grow corn there.
According to Arab media, several companies from the United United Arab Emirates rented (or purchased) more than 17 thousand hectares in Pakistan - also for agricultural purposes, with the aim of subsequent export of food to the UAE.
It is known about similar plans from the side Saudi Arabia. The spheres of interest of the Saudis are extensive: they are Vietnam, Australia, and Egypt. However, it is still difficult to say at what stage the negotiations with specific countries are.
In 2009, the Canadian edition of The Globe and Mail reported that China took a long-term lease of almost 3 million hectares of land in the Congo for the production of palm oil.
As for the Russian lands, interest in them has already shown North Korea. In November last year, DPRK Deputy Minister of Agriculture Guo Myung-hee after meeting with the Minister of Agriculture Khabarovsk Territory Alexander Yats announced that a preliminary agreement had been reached on leasing more than 10,000 hectares of land in the Amur region to the North Korean side.
The provision of Far Eastern lands on lease to China is gaining momentum. What does it give to the economy of the region? What are the features of cooperation with China? What are the results of many years of experience in Russia and other countries of the world?
Hundreds of thousands of hectares - for 49 years
In early June 2015, the government of the Trans-Baikal Territory signed a letter of intent with Huae Xingbang (Huae Xingbang, a 100% subsidiary of the Chinese company Zoje Resources Investment). According to the document, 115 thousand hectares of fallow lands and pastures in the Nerchinsko-Zavodsky, Uletovsky, Sretensky, Shilkinsky districts and in the territory of the Aginsky Buryat district, as well as the Mogoytuy industrial zone, will be leased for 49 years for the implementation of livestock projects and the cultivation of fodder, grain, oilseeds and other crops, as well as medicinal herbs for pharmacology. The corresponding agreement can be signed in the spring of 2016. If things go well, then from 2019 the company will lease another 200 thousand hectares. Together, they will make up almost half of the territory of the kary.
The Chinese investor is ready to invest 24 billion rubles. - which is more than half of the annual budget of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The rate per hectare will be 250 rubles, thus the regional budget will receive 28.8 million rubles annually. In addition, tax revenues will also increase, since a prerequisite for the agreements is the tax registration of newly created enterprises at the place of work. Not surprisingly, such investors seem very attractive for the region with a budget deficit of about 4 billion rubles.
“We are talking about the creation of a joint venture in the future. From our side it is land, from their side it is money. From our side - the most severe control over cultivation technology," explained the Governor of the Trans-Baikal Territory Konstantin Ilkovsky. He also promised that at least 50% of the jobs created during the implementation of this project should be provided to local residents.
The Chinese side, however, is more likely to rely on its own labor force. “It is important to understand how the parties will resolve the issue of bringing highly skilled Chinese workers into Russia. Even if modern machinery and equipment are used, all this is very laborious. There are few residents in Transbaikalia, there is a serious shortage of labor. If you attract it from the European part of the country, you will need to increase salaries several times. If the issue of large-scale involvement of Chinese labor is not resolved, there can be no question of any long-term cooperation,” Wang Haiyun, senior adviser at the China Institute for International Strategic Studies, told the Huanqiu Shibao Newspaper.
Residents of the region reacted warily to the initiative of the authorities. Land owners are worried about what will happen to their shares in agricultural land. The heads of the settlements, who are painfully seeking funds for the vital needs of the municipalities, approve the lease, but not at all unanimously. There are those who point to the lack of clear business plans from Chinese investors and doubt their promises. The lack of information is troubling. “The devil is in the details. The details of the deal are still unknown. For example, it is not clear whether the rent will be indexed. If it is fixed in rubles, then this is a failure. We do not know how much the ruble will be worth in a year, let alone 49 years. Perhaps the rent should be tied to the dollar or to gold. And secondly, in a good way, it is necessary to create a joint venture with the Chinese. The land would be a contribution from the Russian side, and the profit would be shared equally,” says Nikita Krichevsky, Doctor of Economics. Russian politicians and economists believe that attracting Chinese investors may be useful, but the areas offered to them for rent should be much smaller, and the lease term should not exceed 10 years. A significant part of Russians fears that the growing lease of land may serve as the beginning of Chinese expansion, and consider such transactions as a trade in the homeland.
The government is trying to calm the population. “Today, about 40% of our agricultural land is generally not used or cultivated. And the fact that today such a large amount of land in regions where this land is not cultivated is leased by another state, I think there is nothing terrible in this, ”said Nikolai Pankov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues. Vladimir Putin at the recent SPIEF noted that Russia "God himself ordered" to cooperate with China, since we are neighbors and uphold common values in the international arena. The head of the presidential administration, Sergei Ivanov, said that there are no obstacles to the development of agricultural land by Chinese investors, but the ban on their work in the 200-kilometer border zone remains. At the same time, he somehow lost sight of the fact that it is the lands adjacent to the border that are leased out. The All-Russian Popular Front, in principle, approves the attraction of investments, but insists on a public discussion of the issue. The Ministry of Agriculture, just in case, decided to play it safe and said that he did not know anything about the upcoming deal. One can only be surprised at the courage and initiative of the governor of Transbaikalia. Which, in turn, assures that the land is not leased to anyone, and an "exchange of mutually beneficial promises" was made with China.
Long-term cooperation
Meanwhile, the project that has excited the people fits into the strategy of Russian-Chinese partnership, which has been implemented for a long time - systematically and without unnecessary noise. Back in 2009, the Program of Cooperation between the regions of the Far East and Eastern Siberia of the Russian Federation and the North-East of China was adopted. People's Republic for 2009 - 2018.
The document provides for 205 key joint projects in the border regions of the two countries. Almost all projects in our country are based on the extraction of Far Eastern and East Siberian raw materials. Russia in the joint development of deposits of coal, iron ore, precious metals, apatite and molybdenum. The Chinese will create in the northeast of their country the production of tin, lead, furniture, fire doors, copper sheets and bricks. According to representatives of the Chinese authorities, with the permission of the governments of China and the Russian Federation, Chinese entrepreneurs can open industrial and agricultural zones in Russia, including areas for processing, breeding, construction, deforestation and wholesale markets.
China buys Russian deposits. Back in 2005, despite protests local population, the Berezovskoye iron ore deposit was sold to the Lunen company - for only 315 million rubles. . Its development, contrary to the terms of the contract, has not begun, but cooperation continues. In March of this year, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said that China could gain control over strategic oil fields.
In 2011, 1 million hectares of forest was leased to China for cutting. Rosleskhoz expressed its readiness to provide the Chinese side with any information on timber reserves in Russia, as well as on ways to develop it. According to the Environmental Prosecutor's Office, more than half of the state forest fund of the Amur Region fell under cutting. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, deforestation of this scale threatens the disappearance of forests. In 2013, the State Forest Service of the Trans-Baikal Territory announced the lease of more than 2 million hectares of forest in the Tungiro-Olekminsky district (about 40% of the district's territory) - again despite numerous protests from local residents. At that time, about 40% of the territory of the Mogochinsky district was already leased from Chinese loggers for a period of 49 years, and about 9% of the area of the Krasnochikoysky district for 25 years.
Russian agricultural land in 2011-2012. offered for rent at a ridiculous price - 50 rubles. per hectare. In 2010, China leased 426.6 thousand hectares of border land in Russia. In addition, 146.6 thousand hectares of arable land was already at the disposal of the Mudanjiang City Administration. According to Xinhua, in just one year, the "ownership" of this city in Russia increased by 42%. In addition, the Mudanjiang administration is also the operator of 16 grain processing enterprises in the Far East (from elevators to flour mills). The People's Government of Heilongjiang Province leases 150,000 hectares of agricultural land in the Russian Far East and 430,000 hectares in the Jewish Autonomous Region.
A long-term lease of land - 50 years by default - was provided for back in 2012-2013, when the Ministry of Economic Development proposed the creation of a state corporation for the development of Siberia and the Far East, with huge powers and without any specific obligations. The government then had to abandon this idea - perhaps in order not to arouse unnecessary discontent among the people. But the main provisions migrated to the law “On territories of advanced socio-economic development in the Russian Federation” adopted at the end of 2014. By decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, ASEZs are created for a period of 70 years, which can be extended if necessary. The law allows for the forced seizure of land plots and (or) real estate objects located on them, as well as other property in order to locate infrastructure facilities of the ASEZ. It turns out that the right of ownership in these territories is actually abolished - in the interests of investors. ASEZ infrastructure facilities can also be located on the lands of the forest fund. Investors can count on subsidies to reimburse the interest rate on loans in the amount of up to 100% of the refinancing rate. They have discounted rates. rent, tax incentives, special regime of state and municipal control, priority connection to the infrastructure facilities of the ASEZ, application customs procedure free customs zone. Among other things, residents of ASEZs will be able to attract foreign labor without any quotas and permits (Article 18).
Chinese methods
China has long lacked its own agricultural land. Their area is steadily declining, both due to the growth of cities and industrial zones, and as a result of depletion and pollution. The level of use of chemical fertilizers by Chinese farmers is one of the highest in the world. Every year, about 12 million tons of products grown in the country are contaminated with heavy metals due to general water and soil pollution. According to the Committee on Population, Resources and the Environment of China, back in 2005, 70% of rivers and lakes were considered polluted. In Guangdong, only 11% of the soil is uncontaminated. In the area of Lake Tai in the Yangtze River Delta, a third of all areas are contaminated, in Hubei province, 40,000 hectares are infected - about 10% of the total area.
In Russia, the results of Chinese agricultural projects are also quite tangible. Back in 2011, at a meeting in the Expert Directorate of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, information was announced that the fertile land, which had been leased from Chinese partners, was in such a deplorable state that even weeds did not grow on it. In the same 2011, the area of contaminated land in the Krasnoyarsk Territory almost doubled to 1,601 hectares. In Primorsky Krai, following the results of 2012, 1.27 thousand hectares of agricultural land were occupied by landfills; the damage from the activities of a Chinese agricultural company alone, which leased a plot of 107 hectares, amounted to 158 million rubles. : the content of pesticides in the soil exceeded the maximum permissible concentration by 2.4 times. The results of inspections by the Rosselkhoznadzor of Chinese vegetable farms in Krasnodar Territory in 2014, they shocked the then governor of the Kuban, Alexander Tkachev. " In practice, Chinese farmers simply poisoned our land and water, produced vegetables dangerous to human health. Only in one of the districts of the region, 40 thousand square meters were identified. m poisonous Chinese greenhouses", - he said, adding that most Chinese workers do not leave anywhere after the end of the visa, joining the ranks of illegal migrants.
Chinese expansion
Russia is far from the only country where China is buying up land and resources. He is systematically developing Kazakhstan, laying oil pipelines and already controlling 40% of oil production and refining. In the coming years, according to the forecasts of the Canadian Intelligence Service (CSIS), China plans to "buy almost all oil fields from Kazakhstan and foreign companies operating in the republic." The lease of agricultural land in Kazakhstan is also expanding, although the government is trying not to advertise it. Leaked information about a possible lease of 1 million hectares of land in the south of the country, in the most densely populated areas, cost one vice minister the seat, and President Nursultan Nazarbayev had to say that the deal was canceled - but most likely only temporarily.
Chinese companies are increasing the area leased in Tajikistan - also, by the way, for 49 years. In Ukraine, the lease term is 3 million hectares, which can be provided to China, and generally prohibitive - 99 years. The agreement, however, can be terminated by either party - but not earlier than after 50 years. For the lease of land comparable in area to Belgium or Armenia, China will pay $ 3 billion, and if the agreement is extended after 50 years, then the same amount.
Since 2008, China has leased land in Tanzania, Cameroon (10,000 hectares), Zimbabwe (100,000 hectares), Congo (2.8 million hectares), Zambia (2 million hectares), Brazil and Argentina. Both our closest neighbors and overseas countries explain the benefits of such dubious deals in the same way: the lands are empty, there is no money, there is no one to plow - and here such a benefit. Without a doubt, this business is so profitable that Ethiopia, despite the rapid growth of the population and the acute shortage of food, continues to lease land for next to nothing - so far, however, not to China, but to Saudi Arabia.
Buying or leasing agricultural land is practiced not only by China, but also by many other countries. Their goal is to ensure their food security and establish direct food supplies to the country in order to reduce dependence on the international market. Such a neo-colonial plantation policy does not provide for the creation of jobs for the local population, nor the introduction of modern technologies in the local agricultural sector. Some countries, such as New Zealand or Brazil, have already understood this and are trying to limit agricultural outsourcing. In recent decades, Brazil has been actively supporting and developing the agricultural sector, and as a result, today it is she who is the main supplier of food to China. Russian government, apparently, provides for our country a completely different, African, path of development.

Now that Putin is leading an aggressive foreign policy ignoring the opinion of the citizens of Russia, and selling many regions of the country to foreigners, the experts thought about what the president's actions could lead to. The current generation of Russians, hoping for a bright future, alas, will not be caught. According to skeptics, in five years, even if there is no war, Russia will fall into decay. Those measures and actions that were taken by the Russian leadership are only anti-Russian.
This is not only about military conflicts in the North Caucasus or Ukraine. Few people know that Siberia has long been sold to the Chinese, and ordinary Russians are working for them. The order to “sell” Siberia was signed by Putin five years ago. The Chinese then were able to lease about 420,000 hectares of land, which they now use for agricultural purposes. When they say in the Kremlin that Ukraine has sold out to the West and America, one would like to ask - who did Russia sell itself to then? Just think about the numbers: most of land in the Trans-Baikal Territory, one of the most picturesque regions of Russia, was leased to the Chinese for 50 years. It does not matter that these territories have not been used by the Russians for decades, but this is their land, but the Kremlin considered that Chinese companies could temporarily use it for one and a half billion dollars.
On northern land The Chinese plan to grow not only crops, but also engage in animal husbandry. If things go up in three years, Chinese companies will lease about another 200,000 hectares. According to the Russian authorities, the Russians will only benefit from the lease of land - the Chinese are going to employ the inhabitants of Russia. In addition to animal husbandry, the Chinese will develop the subsoil along the border, and if this process is successful, they will be able to expand the mining area.
Russian experts called the lease of land a "great success" in mutually beneficial cooperation. According to them, life is not easy for the Chinese in the border areas of Russia and China: almost 140 million people live here who cannot find work and work on their land - it simply does not exist. But Russians in the Far East, on lands leased by the Chinese, live no more than six million, and many of them leave their homes to go to central regions Russia, where there is work. The Russian authorities decided with the help of the agreement to solve the problems of two countries at once, creating new jobs and providing the Chinese with land. In reality, things are a little different. In a few years, the massive settlement of Transbaikalia by the Chinese threatens Russia with the fact that due to the large number of ethnic Chinese in this territory, China will begin to dictate its rights in the Far East.
In this case, the Far Eastern region of Russia will face a much sadder situation than we have in the Donbass. If there are only a small number of Russian military personnel in the east of Ukraine, then only the Chinese will now live in the Russian Far East. There were talks about selling Russia to the Chinese about six years ago, when Medvedev, while in office, agreed with the chairman of the PRC on cooperation between the border regions. The fact that Transbaikalia was sold a few days ago does not at all mean that the Chinese were not in Russia before that time. Part of the land of the Far East has been used by the Chinese authorities for many years to grow vegetables, rice and soybeans.
However, the Chinese, who complained about the shortage of land, initially knew which territories of Russia needed to be occupied. Control over Transbaikalia will give them the opportunity to control the whole of Siberia, where the largest transport arteries of Russia are located. Residents of this region leave their homes en masse, leaving for Moscow, to the south or west of the country. An interesting fact is that in recent years, forests have often begun to burn in Transbaikalia, and burn out vast areas which has never happened before. Russian channels talk about fires reluctantly, and touch on this problem only superficially. By the way, for Last year not a single channel has filmed a story about fires in the Trans-Baikal Territory, but day and night Russians listen to what is happening in Ukraine.
For some reason, in Russia they focus only on the plight of the Ukrainians. In fact, the situation in Siberia and the Far East is even worse. If in the central regions of Russia the majority of those living "fatten", then in Siberia Russians are dying out. Mass alcoholism and unemployment have taken their toll. Those who realized in time that they could die, left the region, the rest of the citizens lead a miserable existence. In Transbaikalia, everyone hates the Chinese, but they work for them, because they understand that this is the only way to survive. True, only residents of cities survive, and in the villages there is complete devastation and poverty.
While Putin resolves issues with Ukraine, and also enriches the inhabitants of Moscow and other megacities in the center of Russia, remote regions they rely only on themselves, and perhaps also on the Chinese, although they know that such “fraternal” friendship will not lead to anything good.

The Russians must thwart the deal of the century - Putin and Medvedev's sale of the Far East and Siberia to China. The only possible Russian allies in preventing this "deal of the century" Medvedev-Putin with China are the United States, NATO countries and possibly Japan, who are not interested in excessively increasing the potential and power of China at the expense of the Russian Eastern Territories.
Agreements on the gradual transfer of the Far East and Siberia to China have already been signed by Putin and Medvedev. The implementation of these agreements has begun. Within the next less than ten years, the Eastern territories of Russia will be transferred to Chinese business, populated by the Chinese and de facto come under the control of China.
In parallel with the arrival of several million Chinese workers over the next eight years to develop the Eastern Territories, their families will arrive with them, and a service infrastructure will be created. Shops, cafes, workshops, etc., serving specifically Chinese workers, and not only workers. When it comes to breeding, Chinese settlers in Russia's Eastern Territories will not be held back by China's one-child laws. Many Chinese are already settling in Russia, including under the influence of this reason. Thus, the number of Chinese will exceed the number of Slavs (of which about 9 million people live there today) long before 2018 (the year the above-mentioned Cooperation Agreement with China ends).
Smoke from Chinese greenhouses keeps planes from landing
There was nothing here at the beginning of spring,” Mikhail Istomin, First Deputy General Director of Abakan Airport, points to the vast cellophane fields. - And recently we are looking - something glitters behind the port fence. We went to see - honest mother ... Yes, this is a film from greenhouses, and there are so many of them - you can’t cover it with a glance!
Flew 800 extra kilometers
On April 2, a Tu-154 plane landed at Abakan International Airport (flight 381 from Moscow, Vladivostok-Avia)
The aircraft was descending in excellent visibility conditions, with excellent weather forecasts. And suddenly the pilots saw a dense curtain of smoke below. Cursing briefly, the pilots contacted the dispatchers: it was impossible to land the car in such conditions. The minimum visibility should be 900 meters, the instruments showed only 700.
The plane flew to Novokuznetsk, where it refueled, and from there contacted Abakan again. The smoke cleared up a bit. The passengers ended up in Abakan five hours late. It turned out that it was not an ordinary fog, and not a forest fire. And 808 (!) iron stoves installed in Chinese greenhouses. On April 2, as Flight 381 was coming in to land, it was a chilly night. And Chinese agronomists threw coal into the stoves ...
As it turned out, the greenhouses belong to the director of Chin Dong LLC, Ren Qingdong. They appeared near the airport (almost immediately behind the fence) quite recently:
Even at the beginning of spring there was nothing here, - Mikhail Istomin, the first deputy general director of the airport, points to the vast cellophane fields. - And recently we are looking - something glitters behind the port fence. We went to see - honest mother ... Yes, this is a film from greenhouses, and there are so many of them - you can’t cover it with a glance!
In a matter of days, Chinese farmers covered more than 100 hectares of land with cellophane. Several hundred stoves were placed inside.
How many people work on the plantations - no one counted, but according to the most rough estimates, there are three hundred people.
Did you see Russians in this scheme?! There is simply no place for Russians in this program for the development of the Eastern Territories. Of course, the Russians will not be expelled, as in the autonomies of the North Caucasus beloved by Medvedev and Putin. The Russians will not be slaughtered, as they did in the patrimony of Putin's beloved friend, Ramzan Kadyrov. The Russians simply will not have a place in the system of economic relations in Siberia and the Far East, which the Chinese will build. And the Russians will have to sell their houses and leave. This will apply, among other things, to cops and officials living in the Eastern Territories. After all, such cops and officials as Russian ones are massively shot in China in trenches specially dug for this purpose. So the question of providing them with a piece of bread in the territories developed by China will not even be raised.
In addition to transferring the Eastern Territories to China for "development", the sale of Russia to the "Great Neighbor" is going on in seemingly less significant areas. At present, the Russian government is considering the draft Energy Strategy of Russia until 2030, according to which the structure of oil and gas exports will be changed in favor of the eastern direction. In accordance with the document, the export of oil and oil products to Europe will be reduced, and in the eastern direction - significantly increase. Gas exports to the East will also increase.
At first, they behaved quietly and modestly, as befits guests. Then there was no trace of modesty left. Their base, like a fortress, began to be guarded by packs of dogs, from which the rural postmen and doctors were the first to scream - it became impossible to pass through the village.
You will not believe it, but all dandelions have disappeared in the village and the frogs have stopped croaking. Now midges and midges just eat us, - says the deputy of the village council Larisa Yurgelyan.
The base, which housed sawmills, living quarters and a canteen for Chinese lumberjacks, hid behind a striped barrier. Mountains of different-sized forests: from large trunks to small-sized ones as thick as an arm. The stench of rotting sawdust and the lopsided pigsty, crows the size of fattened geese.
Behind the base there is a narrow street of squat houses, which in Kundur is called for some reason "the village of Bryansk". Seeing our car, an elderly man hurriedly limped towards it.
You have no idea how we live here. Our "road of life" passes through the Chinese base. You can’t go there - knee-deep mud and the dogs look to gobble it up. And it’s also scary that a fire can happen at any moment, mountains of overdried forest and waste from it. A spark - and we are gone, - Valery Miller is worried.
With difficulty we make our way to the office of Chinese lumberjacks. Under the very roof of which there is an even row of ruddy hieroglyphs.
This is our slogan. "It's better to work, to work conscientiously," explains the translator, who introduces himself with the sonorous name Nikolai.
Simple furniture, a computer monitor infested with flies. Kolya the translator would have brilliantly turned out the role of a deaf-mute partisan. He has only one answer to all questions: "I don't know..." The only thing this translator could say was that two Chinese logging companies, Prostor and Timber Industry Complex, are operating in the Kundur forests. One of them, according to Kolya, belongs to "a Russian woman, Olga Grigorievna, I don't remember her last name..."
Here, in the taiga village, I am ashamed to admit that there is nothing to make a coffin from. You can't buy a board from the Chinese. They have only one answer: "It's impossible, the captain swears ..." - says the chairman of the village council, Lyubov Gnedaya.
Lyubov Vasilievna still cannot leave the autumn session of the local council. The leadership of Chinese lumber companies turned to the legislature of the Kundur authorities - lumberjacks asked them not to take local land tax from them.
"What are you, a society of disabled people?! This is the only source for our budget," the people's deputies grumbled.
You should have heard how much dirt they poured on us, they said that they were given this land for fifty years. That they are the masters here, I drank valerian for a week after that session. I have never felt so humiliated, - admits Lyubov Gnedaya.
Oil and gas agreements with Beijing have been repeatedly criticized due to the lack of transparency in mutual settlements. In the meantime, it is obvious that the price of hydrocarbons supplied to China will be significantly lower than in the western direction. The sensational article in Vedomosti "on providing the raw material base of the Far East and Eastern Siberia to China" within the framework of the Cooperation Agreement until 2018 is only the surface of the iceberg of secret agreements between the Russian ruling shobla, who sold the country and betrayed the Russian people, with China.
In accordance with the Agreement mentioned above, the transfer of the Far East and Siberia to China will take place according to the worst-case scenario for the Russians. By peaceful, but fast (over the next eight years) and large-scale development of these Russian Eastern territories by Chinese business and Chinese labor.
At the same time, the entire Russian information propaganda will hush up the scale of cooperation and development of the Eastern territories by China, as well as justify/justify in every possible way the need for the development of these territories by the Chinese due to Russia's lack of financial and human resources necessary for development. At the same time, the question of the feasibility of large-scale development natural resources and fixing the raw material imbalance in the Russian economy is not even raised by the Kremlin and the mass media controlled by the authorities.
Chinese development is planned to be developed in the following areas:
Raw materials (development of mineral deposits at the expense of the financial resources of China and the forces of Chinese workers);
Industrial (construction of processing facilities of a shallow level of processing at the expense of the financial resources of China and the forces of Chinese workers);
Agriculture (development of empty and virgin lands by Chinese peasants).
All planned Chinese investments in Russia in industrial and infrastructure facilities are strictly conditioned by the fact that only the Chinese will work on the construction itself, at the built factories and the fields under development.
In parallel with the legalized invasion of the Chinese by Medvedev and Putin into the Eastern Territories, the outflow of the Slavic population deprived of prospects from the region will sharply increase. By 2018 (the end date of the Agreement), the population of the Eastern Territories will not just be predominantly Chinese. The share of the Chinese will already be overwhelming. Local structures of self-government and law enforcement will also be Chinese (consisting mainly of Chinese), because Russian officials and cops in two years will not be able to control the rapidly growing "Chinatowns" without the participation of the Chinese themselves. Under these conditions, there will be no grounds even to talk about the return of these territories and the deportation of the Chinese. For this, Russia simply will not have the means: military and human potential.
The justification for the harmlessness and even desirability of Chinese expansion is provided today not only by the pro-Kremlin media and "experts". Organizations such as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Russian Orthodox Church are actively working for China. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation in their newspapers sing praises and open their arms to the communist Red China. The ROC is already actively preaching not only among the clergy, but also among the laity, the goodness of Great China and is preparing its adherents for humility and joyful "transfer of the great mission of Orthodoxy" to the dynamic and numerous Chinese nation from the dying Russian, by analogy with the transfer of the "cause of Christ" from the dying Byzantium of Kiev Rus'. I don’t give examples, the Internet is full of them, and nationalists have many times exposed the treacherous essence of the Russian Orthodox Church using the example of its position on China and the red degenerates.
Numerous appeals from the Russian public about the gradual, but nevertheless massive Chinese settlement of Russian territories in Primorye, evoked reflex assent from government officials: “Yes, it’s bad, we won’t allow it, we’ll fix it,” etc. Any normal person can clearly see the threat of such an occupation, because if we compare the population of the two countries, then for every Russian there are ten Chinese. If we take into account that our population beyond the Urals is no more than 20 million people compared to 1 billion 300 million in China, then any inclinations of their migration to Siberia and the Far East must be nipped in the bud, otherwise everything will end very sadly for us in the very near future. Meanwhile, news agencies reported today that China has declared its readiness to start implementing a project for the development of forest resources in the Russian Federation, said Li Yuchai, deputy head of the State Administration of the People's Republic of China for forestry.
As part of a pilot project for the joint development of forest resources, China is ready to lease 1 million hectares of Siberian forests. This became known during a meeting between Li Yuchai, Deputy Head of the Chinese State Administration for Forestry, and Boris Bolshakov, Deputy Head of Rosleskhoz.
A plot of 1 million hectares will be allocated to the Chinese side on a long-term lease in one of the regions of Siberia. At the same time, Rosleskhoz is ready to provide the Chinese side with "any information on timber reserves in Russia, methods of its development."
“The organization, on the terms of the forestry legislation of the Russian Federation, of an enterprise with the participation of Chinese capital, which will carry out forestry, logging and processing, including pulp production, on the territory of the forest fund,” the Rosleskhoz explained.
According to a Chinese official, his country's economy is now in dire need of forest resources and wood products. And here Russia is considered, first of all, as the main strategic partner. Rosleskhoz, in turn, expressed its readiness to provide the Chinese side with any information on timber reserves in the territory of the Russian Federation. Most likely, one of the regions of Siberia will become the experimental site. Chinese scientists, who are currently on an expedition in Siberia with their Russian colleagues, believe that the taiga, being one of the main components of the Siberian biosphere, has a great impact on China's ecology.
Thus, we are talking about the actual sale of our forest reserves in Siberia and the Far East "on the vine". Huge forest areas of millions of hectares are subject to long-term lease, which the Chinese, of course, will "master" (ie, cut down to the root) on their own.
What remains in this situation for the Russians?! Only die or win! Die: die quietly, perhaps even living to retirement, deprived of prospects and the opportunity to extend your Family in sold and occupied Russia, or go, like stray dogs, to emigrate to white countries, where no one really expects, with the prospect of obtaining asylum and rights second-class people and dissolution in a new community in the next generations.
The second way is struggle and victory. Destruction of the Russophobic RF. And the creation of the Russian national state - an instrument of Russian national interests.
In the face of powerful enemies, the Russians will desperately need allies. Not "friends", we emphasize, but allies! Allies who will help the Russians in the elimination and containment of their enemies, not because of the mythical "brotherly love and friendship", but because of their interest in neutralizing their enemies and competitors. And the only real ally of the Russians in the current situation with China remains the United States, NATO countries and, possibly, Japan. Because these countries are extremely uninterested in the excessive strengthening of China's power and the complete reorientation of the Russian raw material and trade flow towards China, which they consider as a potential threat to their interests. That is why the aforementioned states may well help. To help both overthrow the Medvedev-Putin regime and contain China within its existing borders.
It's time for Russian nationalists to smarten up and correctly distinguish between enemies and allies. And then many of the nationalists (not to mention the townsfolk) do not see point-blank how the Kremlin is selling the country under the guise of an informational smokescreen about the "intrigues of the West", "getting up from your knees", "fascist extremists" and "strategic partnership with China" .
