Have China and the United States agreed on tariffs?

2025-06-12 14:09:57

Yes, due to Chinese restrictions on the trade of rare earth metals.

China controls rare earth elements that are necessary for almost all advanced technologies and are almost entirely produced in China. It accounts for 70% of their global production and, more importantly, over 90% of their processing. Thus, it can respond to restrictions from the USA and the EU. Therefore, negotiations will have to be made with China. Chinese media note that the supply of many important medicines in the USA is also almost entirely controlled by China.

China itself is very much dependent on world trade. And foreign trade is a constant leash for China.

Is there democracy in Russia and Kazakhstan?

2023-10-03 09:46:24

Yes, there is

Were the elections alternative? Yes. Is the right to vote equal for everyone? Yes. Do you directly choose the president and deputies? Yes. Do you elect periodically? Yes. Are you being forced to participate in elections? No. Is voting open and public? Yes. Secretly? Yes.

In the current most “democratic” country of the USA, voters cannot even directly elect a president, only through intermediaries-electors. Suddenly they will vote the wrong way. Moreover, the opinion of voters is only a recommendation for the elector to vote, he may not follow it. Thus, the voices of ordinary Americans are a dummy. Just a cheap farce and brainwashing. In Russia and Kazakhstan, local election commissions are such intermediaries, no matter how you vote, they will calculate how you need to. In fact, this is an autocracy, the basis of which is based on the unlimited control of power by one person or by a council, like a one-party parliament or a presidential republic, whose decisions are not subject to external legal restrictions or orderly mechanisms of popular control (except for the possible hidden threat of a coup d'etat or popular uprising).

Do we have democracy in our country or not?

What will be the consequences of the war?

2024-06-19 07:49:13

Europe will be left without resources. The collapse of the EU. The loss of U.S. influence. The Beginning of China's Growth

After the collapse of the USSR, Europe gained access to Russian resources for a song, actually selling goods made from Russian resources to Russia. Now, if Russia wins, relations with Europe will deteriorate, it will not receive resources, and China has already received the Russian market at no cost, European companies themselves left it without a fight. In addition, Europe will have to rebuild Ukraine, because it was Europe and the United States that pushed it to war. Many people in the EU will not like it, and they will start leaving the European Union. Becoming poorer, Europe will buy fewer goods, including American ones. Russia will begin to recover at the expense of the former Soviet republics. China will grow.

If Russia loses, it will be plundered.

Which country will be next at the head of the world order after China and the United States?

2026-07-28 16:40:39

No, there won't be any clear leaders after the war.

Changing the world order is usually accompanied by war. After the fall of the United States and China, there will be no strong leaders. Neither dollars nor yuan will be needed. A protracted war can weaken even strong powers. After a major war between the leading powers, world trade will change dramatically, and this will disrupt the current global economic model. Space can become a new space of competition, much like the oceans and trade routes once were.

The change of the world order is not just a change of the main state. This is a period when the system of rules is changing: who has the most influence, how trading is organized, which currencies are used, who sets the standards and how conflicts are resolved.
