Russia has natural resources. China has human resources

[kankan326]

The west can not completely sanction Russia because they found its natural resources are irreplaceable. Lately Washington warned that the west will sanction China if it refuse to sanction Russia. Will that happen? Don't think so. Because China has rarer resource, human resources. Russia's natural resouces are somehow replaceable in the long run, regardless all costs the west world has to pay. China's human resources is by no means to be replaced by, not a single country, but the rest world combined.

Population scale doesn't matter. Only well educated, disciplined, well trained people are human resources. India is the NO.1 population country now. For cultural, political and many other reasons, India's human resources scale is far more smaller than China. 1/3 at best. And the productivity of Indian human resources is not good enough. One obvious example that can prove China is irreplaceable is the STEM graduates number each year. Which is bigger than US+EU+India+Japan combined. From labor intensive factories to cutting edge research centers, High quality, large number Chinese labor force covers all known industries. And Based on that, China has formed numerous industry chain clusters. Which makes other countries harder to compete with China in products quality and quantity.

US is bluffing. 100% sanctions to China like US did to Russia is not possible. Making 20% sanctions is possible. But US has already implemented 15% sactions to China in recent years. There is no much room left for US to blackmail China.

That’s the problem with Putin‘s Russia. The only thing that s progressing is extracting oil and gas. And sell to foreigners.

With money they can buy chinese stuffs, spend holidays in Vietnam and do other things elsewhere.

Putin wages the war against Ukraine just because of oil and gas resources, large agricultural lands in Ukraine.

If the US sanctions China and Russia together, it will be the end of the American middle class. The US will resemble the social and economic structure of a third world country with a small class of Uber wealthy people and a large mass of poor and struggling people.

why do you have against Russia as a Vietnamese when Russia helped you gain independence from foreign tyranny then spend money in Vietnam?

I don’t have anything against Russia, but Putin, a warmonger. He brings death and destruction to Ukraine. What he does not understand he destroys Russia.

Russia economy is stagnant in the last 8y, now with GDP expected to shrink by 10 pct alone this year, Putin brings Russia back to 90 in the last century.

The world is lucky we have so many Chinese STEM graduates because before China had these graduates the world was a backwards agrarian society that hadn't changed much in 2000 years.

Oh wait I think I have the story backwards somehow.

Most Chinese students in the US are rich spoiled brats who can't be admitted into China's top institutions, that's why their rich/upper middle class pro-West parents sent them to the US to gild themselves for a better profile.

These Chinese international students used to contribute the US institutions 30 billions annually.

Now, thanks to your racist MAGA policies, many pro-West Chinese just got a rude awakening, and you will see far less Chinese international students in the future.

Yes, before the Chinese students arrived in the 21st Century all these institutions were dirt poor for the previous 100+ years because all the non-Chinese students never donated a dime..unlike the Chinese who are famous the world over for their charitable giving. But even somehow with this poverty they still managed to be some of the top rated in the world.

Many Americans said their lives were good when there was no Chinese goods. But things changed.

1, The global GDP scale is much bigger than 30 years ago. Today's multi times scale of products output makes raw materials much more expensive than 30 years ago. Without made-in-China, US middle class can not sustain today's living standard.
2, US social structure changed drastically. Few rich people control much more social fortune now. Which means big part of US middle class would disappear without China.
3, US labors working ethnic has changed. They are spoiled compared to 30 years ago. American students are keen on lawyer, doctor, financial professions. US can never go back to the biggest manufacture power again. Because few people are willing to work in factories.
4, Now China is already there. When a new power emerges, it changes everything. You can not go back to the time when the variable didn't exist.

Seems like US companies are pulling out from future contracts with Russia. Halliburton signaled it was pulling out from provisioning services to many of Russia’s oil and gas fields.

USD is backed by ChineseGoods more than petro. It should be called ChineseGoods dollar. Sanction china? Wet dream. The day Chinese stop backing dollar we see hyperinflation in US.

The middle class is rapidly disappearing. The scary part is that the worse is yet to come.

USD is backed by ChineseGoods more than petro. It should be called ChineseGoods dollar. Sanction china? Wet dream. The day Chinese stop backing dollar we see hyperinflation in US.

And that day is coming fast because of America’s unbridled hatred of China and the sanctions against Russia.

Oh yeah, you racist white supremacist white bigot or pseudo white bigot if you are of Indian or other origin can take a hike now, have enough of your bigotry ! You whites stole so many intellectual rights from Chinese inventions in the past thousands of years, not to mention the 4 big inventions of paper, compass, printing and gunpowder, without which you whites or Indians would still live in European or Indian agrarian villages and hunting caves, no industrial revolution and the America would still belong to the Native Americans.

All resources cost in upkeep, even human ones. What good are highly polished human resources if they have lesser avenues to fulfill their roles. A high tech screw driver is only as good as the use for it.

Thats the irony of China's rise, it got here due to economic dependence on Western markets, that is not to imply the Western markets didn't benefit, both sides did, but to rise further and to fulfill its ambitious goal of prosperity for all its people, India and China are compatible markets like no other, perhaps save the countries of South Asia( another irony). The ignorance with which people in this subcontinent underestimate each other's capability is profoundly saddening, for derision acts to obscure opportunity and innovation.

India being poorer in comparison has lesser opportunity cost as compared to similar costs for the Chinese side when it forgoes Chinese products. The same cannot be said for the Chinese, a huge market next door is becoming hostile and increasing amounts of capital must be spent to connect to comparably minors ones far away. Land based trade routes cannot hope to compare economically with the volume of sea based ones. The only exception being if you have a gargantuan market next door connected by land.

Why would you go out of your way to antagonise a billion plus people in love with your products, I haven't the foggiest. it's not just the geopolitical tensions either, China's business strategy vis a vis India is similar to it's approaches to other smaller nations in its neighbourhood, except we are stupid enough to fight back, even at a loss and often against sneaky tactics. That does not make for a long lasting relationship and the fractures are evident.

It is GoC prerogative to conduct it's business and spend it's money in a manner of its own preference, but the wisdom of old has been lost, assertiveness comes at a cost, what sense is going out of your way to make traditional markets and future markets antagonists towards you.
