/ world today news/ It would be ideal if the share of investors from unfriendly countries in the capital of Russian companies on the Moscow Stock Exchange was bought at a premium by Chinese investors
It’s amazing how exactly history repeats itself, 750 years ago the main opponents of the West were the Golden Horde and the Yuan Empire. At the same time, the Juchi ulus, whose successor is Moscow, and through it Russia, is considered more powerful militarily, and Yuan – economically. It is believed, for example, that it was in the Yuan Empire that the first paper money appeared, whose uncontrolled emission for the first time in the history of mankind ended in hyperinflation.
Political scientists will traditionally focus on Ukraine. For Russia and China, however, there are more important things than the fate of the former Soviet Slavic republic and an even more former Polish province. China holds a huge portfolio of US debt, which doesn’t bode well amid the Fed’s rate hikes. Moreover, there are no guarantees that the US will not freeze Chinese investments after Russian ones. There is constant talk of a possible introduction of a single currency for the US, Canada and Mexico.
Russia’s budget deficit is serious and it would be good for Moscow if China started buying OFZ in rubles. From a purely economic point of view, Russian debt will be more reliable than American debt. Plus, unlike the West, Putin never misleads and deceives.
In general, it would be ideal if the share of investors from unfriendly countries in the capital of Russian companies on the Moscow Stock Exchange was bought at a premium by Chinese investors. The market will receive an opportunity for growth and new liquidity, and the Russian budget will receive taxes.
Another important topic could be the Russian oil and gas complex. At the end of 2002 Chinese oil companies were ready to pay 8 billion dollars for NK Slavneft in a privatization auction. However, the oil barons ensured that foreigners were not allowed to compete.
As a result, CJSC Investoil, which represented the interests of Sibneft and TNK, offered Slavneft $160 million more than the initial price of $1.7 billion. Now Chinese investors may be interested not only in Slavneft, but also in Gazprom Neft, and in certain conditions conditions – even a share in LUKOIL.
The main conclusion of the visit of the Chinese leader is that the isolation of Russia has failed, there was not enough insulating tape.

**Given concerns regarding China’s US debt holdings and potential US actions, how would these factors influence Chinese investment decisions related to Russian assets, and what could be the wider economic ramifications?**
## Interview: China & Russia – A New Alliance?
**I will be acting as your host for this interview today. We have two esteemed guests joining us to discuss the ramifications of the recent visit of the Chinese leader to Russia, as covered in the article published on world-today-news.com.
Joining us first is Dr. Anya Petrov, Professor of Political Economy at the University of [Prestigious University name], specializing in Sino-Russian relations. Welcome, Dr. Petrov.
Also with us is Mr. Dimitri Ivanov, a Senior Analyst at [Reputable Financial Institution] focusing on emerging markets and geopolitics. Mr. Ivanov, thanks for being here.
Let’s begin our discussion by examining the article’s central thesis: Russia’s perceived “isolation” leading to a closer alliance with China.**
**Section 1: Shifting Geopolitical Landscapes**
* **Dr. Petrov, the article draws parallels between the current geopolitical situation and the historical relationship between the Golden Horde and the Yuan Empire. Do you believe this analogy is apt, and what lessons, if any, can be learned from these historical precedents?**
* **Mr. Ivanov, the article suggests that China may become a significant investor in Russian assets, particularly government bonds and oil and gas companies. Do you see this as a viable scenario, and what are the potential economic ramifications for both nations?**
* **The article mentions concerns surrounding China’s US debt holdings. How might this factor influence China’s investment decisions regarding Russia? What role might potential US actions, such as freezing Chinese assets, play in this equation?**
**Section 2: Russia’s Economic Outlook**
* **Dr. Petrov, the article argues that Russian debt might be viewed as more reliable than US debt by Chinese investors. Do you agree with this assessment? What factors might influence China’s risk perception regarding these two economies?**
* **Mr. Ivanov, the article highlights Russia’s budget deficit and suggests that buying up Russian companies at a premium could be beneficial for both sides. Does this proposition hold up under scrutiny? Could we see a scenario where Chinese investment effectively props up the Russian economy? What are the potential downsides of such a move?**
**Section 3: Looking Ahead**
* **Dr. Petrov, the article concludes by stating that “the isolation of Russia has failed.” Do you believe this to be true? What are the broader implications of a strengthening Sino-Russian alliance for the global geopolitical landscape?**
* **Mr. Ivanov, what are your predictions for the future trajectory of Sino-Russian relations? What other factors beyond economics could play a role in shaping this partnership?**
**I would like to open the floor for both of our guests to share any concluding thoughts or perspectives on the present and future of this developing relationship.**
**Thank you both for providing such insightful analyses. I hope this discussion has helped our audience understand the complexities of the recurring theme “Russia’s isolation”.**
