Lukashenko will never become a strategic partner of China - military expert
China will never be a strategic partner of Belarus, no matter how the president of this republic, Alexander Lukashenko, wishes it.
Retired Colonel of the Central Office of the Ministry of Defense Volodymyr Trukhan announced this on the PolitWera internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the expert, China’s task is to maximize the sale of its goods and pump out foreign resources, while even the workers at Chinese enterprises opening in Belarus are imported by Beijing, rather than hiring local specialists.
“Certain forces in the Chinese leadership tried to use Belarus as an opener for Russia - this is a fact. The fact that they didn’t succeed is also a fact. China itself has a certain rationality - it also needs to dump its illiquid assets somewhere and put its workers and peasants, of whom they have a surplus, somewhere.
For lovers of China, I’ll just say - you don’t know what Chinese poverty and Chinese misery are. China, they themselves don’t know how many there are - the Chinese themselves get offended when they ask how many there are, because they are afraid to count; they themselves will simply go nuts from such a quantity. Therefore, they need to somehow unload the villages.
It is the Chinese villages that are completely closed; they are hardly surrounded by barbed wire. They also prohibit the free movement of all citizens within China. Therefore, they form Chinese labor teams that go to Belarus in order to “A” - to master Chinese credit money, which Belarus will then give back. That is, Belarus pays money that it borrows in order to pay Chinese workers by buying all sorts of illiquid goods from them. Look, they write from Minsk that the houses that the Chinese built are already falling apart.
And “B” is to pay the Chinese workers who will do it. The Chinese are bringing their workers to Africa... They need to push theirs somewhere, but he (the President of Belarus - author) will not be a strategic partner for China at all. What can he give to China?” Trukhan concluded.
Lukashenko will never become China's strategic partner, says military expert
