I want to say a few warm words to the people of China. But the first thing to do is not to generalize about China people. They come from different regions and have different educational levels and backgrounds. So like everyone else, you can find completely different individuals. Anyway, I have worked with China people for nearly 20 years, and I have something to say:

1. For many years, I thought I was a part of European civilization, but I have more in common with China people. Family values, political and historical concepts, and attitudes towards individual freedom. . Wait a minute.

2. They are very good listeners. I always talk about life and everything else with China at lunch time. They are all easy to talk to.

We have the same attitude towards what is good and what is bad.

Of course, we see different things, but if I think we are closer in some basic outlook on life.

I am a Russian programmer who has worked in Canada for 20 years. I work with many China people from Chinese mainland and Hongkong. They are different. With the total westernization of Chinese mainland people, many people love their country more. Apart from the money and environment there, many people don't like Canadians very much. When there is no profit, he is a very stupid and lazy programmer. When it comes to making good profits or their own careers, they will be very smart and diligent.

As for politics and economy, of course, the whole world envies China's economic growth rate, but they prefer to avoid their own ecological situation. As a Russian, I can understand how the disaster in the former Soviet Union did not believe in the good example of the West. China has become an example of development, and Russia should learn from what is possible and applicable.

In fact, today's Russian model looks more like China today. The government seems to have been replaced by an army composed of most people of the former KGB, who are concerned about the future of Russia. People are more important than extra money. Russia's transformation from barbaric capitalism to state capitalism. When I say "state capitalism", I mean socialism with many mixed systems like Germany and Canada and many tax rules and regulations, but it doesn't mean that any business is impossible.

The West (I mainly mean the United States and Britain, and followers like Canadian and Australian) is the common enemy of Russian people and China people. It has nothing to do with political system, democracy and human rights. They just want to control everything and profit from China's cheap labor and Russian natural resources. Stupid Hitler publicly announced this lovely British super-national and non-national idea, but failed, and the Anglo-Saxon elite thought they were smart enough to rule the world. It's just that they no longer buy slaves from Africa and take them to the United States to work, but they still think they are the masters of the universe.

I'm worried that China may underestimate the former slave owners, and then allow them to start corrupting the rich in China, and then the Russians. People in China are becoming more and more pragmatic, but the dollar is still controlled by the United States, so it can control the rich and powerful people in China. Some people would rather betray their motherland than sacrifice their wealth. I think it may be much safer to use RMB and ruble to develop trade with Russia. Russia can provide all natural resources and help China defend itself when necessary. China has produced all kinds of goods, and is no longer so dependent on western technology. I see some progress. For example, China UnionPay system operates in Russia (including Crimea), and the Russian central bank has included RMB in the reserve currency. But these seem to be just infancy, very slow. I guess this is because both Russia and China are afraid of western sanctions.

China and Russia are too pragmatic and calculating, and they still like the dollar too much. We should speed up the process of integration and ensure that the two countries can resist integration when necessary. Now, the United States can do great harm to the economies of our two countries. Well, they started from Russia, but China's trade is mainly US dollars ... China is likely to be their next target.

I love the people of China and China. Last summer, I worked as an administrator in a souvenir shop in St. Petersburg. We have many customers in China, but that's not why I like China. Because of this job, I have many opportunities to communicate with guests from China. They are very humble, natural, kind and have a strong sense of humor. At first, the only thing that made communication a little difficult was that China people didn't know much English. But I learned some Chinese words and expressions, which helped me a lot. But sometimes I have a feeling that we can understand each other without words. We sang Soviet songs together-both exciting and interesting. Some China guests know these songs, which makes me very surprised. I really hope I can have a chance to come to China and get to know this beautiful country better.

In my early years, we all laughed at China people. China is associated with cheap artificial leather shoes. Looking at China now, I especially envy their achievements. With the huge high-speed rail network, numerous new cities and huge growth of personal income, the government has made a lot of efforts to build infrastructure for its people. Their economic growth has brought a lot of extra money to invest in other countries-I know Pakistan's road construction projects, Africa's development and infrastructure projects, and even the new Panama Canal. Have you ever heard of Russian companies investing outside the CIS? I'm not talking about sponsoring cycling teams and putting the logo of Aeroflot on Manchester United's website. You know what I mean. All the extra money in Russia is kept in overseas accounts, just to maintain the consumption level of individual families, the high standard of living of the first lover, the high standard of living of the second lover, the children of the first lover, the children of the housekeeper and gardener, and their in-laws … you know.

Considering China people, the people I met during my trip, they kept themselves, but tried to integrate into other societies (EU, UAE, USA). I have never met some rude people in China. They are very different from my previous ideas in culture, but on the whole, they are very good.

The rise of China is unbelievable! Twenty years later, this country has become the leader of economic trends. Everyone wants to deal with China enterprises, and the country we make fun of feels much superior to us. 20 16 the average wage in China is higher than that in Russia. Thanks to our lovely government!
