WHERE THE NEW WAVE OF FINANCIAL CRYSIS WILL COME FROM ?
ОТКУДА И КАКОЙ КРИЗИС НАМ ЖДАТЬ В БУДУЩЕМ ?

Ниже моя статья на станицу профессора-китаеведа из престижного Университета им. Джавахарлала Неру в Дели. Я там неоднократно бывал, уровень там очень высокий. Оригинал статьи был написан мною  сразу на английском. Переводить и редактировать ее просто уже нет сил - 5-30 утра. К тому же она не очень интересна для не специалиста. Так что "звиняйтэ" ... Возможно, позже, сделаю перевод статьи.....

WHERE THE NEW WAVE OF FINANCIAL CRYSIS WILL COME FROM ?

I hope that a prominent Indian cinologist will not object to the placement of my another article on his Facebook page, the one on China, as a sceptical view on this subject from Russia. In Russian language I do not publish such things as these are "out of the fashion" at present in my country as we are trying to maintan "strategic partnership" with China.

After I graduated from Moscow State Institute ( now University) of International Relations in International Law and later as a Fellow Researcher I wrote my thesis on the constitutional mechanism of  power structure in ... not in India, but in Sri lanka ( when I was a researcher at the Institute of State and Law of the Academy of Science of the USSR and later of Russia). So whatever I wrote now on economics of China is a view of a lay man. In a way, of course, as I studied economics as well in the University. Yet it has some advantage of seeing the problem with "a fresh eye" of a non professional economist and a little "from aside". Sometimes it has its own advantages....
* * * * *
Chinese " explosive economic growth" has nearly come to its natural end.
The Chinese went by an easy way, supported by the western ( American) money, as an EXPORT oriented economy, provided that the USA was ready to consume cheap Chinese goods, paying for these with US Dollars, emitted by the USA, or later, by the USA "treasures". One side consumed, in many ways, largerly in debt, the other side had the possibility to develop its industial potential, initially with foreogn investors money.

Besides it all started at times of the Cold War of 70-s and the split of a "Communist " world by economic means was a very effectuive strategy in keeping the USSR isolated from the largest country in the world with the similar in too many ways politucal system.

 One may applaud to such a wise US stategy against the USSR. But this "wise strategy" enevitably was leading to strengthening of a potential " communist" Chinese giant ? Yes. But with some well hidden inbult " safety device" to keep it under inderect control.

The trick was that a "market economy" model ( a "capitalist " model) was offered and accepted by a country with a " communist" political system. Under this model any country in the world is only a part of a global ( non "communist") market and any country becomes dependant on fluctuations on this market. Ups and downs in the world econome as a whole  can be arranged, if needed, by the "world big money".

Besides, the financial and technological cooperation with China was based on a tacit agreement that China will be ( and still is) mainly an export oriented economy which for its growth, as a "normal capitalist economy", needs PERMANENT EXPANSION. For many years the USA provided this space for expansion to Chinese CONSUMER goods to America itself and to many dependant countries and to political-economic unions like the European Union and dependant countries like Russia. ( There was even a joke in Western Europe about 20 years ago : "Who is a Russian man ? How he looks like ? It is the man who looks in face as a European man, but he is clad in clothes like a Chinese" ))

Yet, Western economy and " market econimy" as such were sinking in debts more and more and today there is no more space the expansion of Chinese products. The best chance is to sustain the present Chinese export level that means enevitable slowing down the whole Chinese economy which consumes a lot of raw materials and energy.

 This inevitably slows down the growth of virtually all  natural resourses export oriented economies, the largest and most dependant on this today is Russia ( and Brazil). According to a recent Citigroup analysis only 10% of the slow down of Russian economy in 2014-2015 was due to Western sanctions aganst Russia. 90% are cused by a sharp decline in oil price. We, Russians, suspected that much earler than Citigroup informed us. Yet it was the best economic model for oil and gas exporters in Russia.

The only way out of crisys is to restructure the whole economic system in our country and the financial system in the world , as a whole,  as nobody will be saved from the financial and economic crysis under the present econimic " liberal-monetary" system.

According to a prominent Indian economist from Morgan Stanley Investment Management - Ruchir Sharma - the slow down of Cinese econome may lead to the "rise" of the whole global economy under 2% per annum. It is almost a zero "rise".
And this prognosis is based on the assumption that the American economy will defititly rise. But will it rise ? Is it guaranteed ? It is a big question.... And all this happens  while, according to Morgan Stanley, 38% of ALL global economic rise in 2015 was a Chinese one. It means that
global economic rise is mainly dependant on the USA and China.

Will the development of Internal Chinese market help ? As the way out of crysis. Yes. It may help to a certain degree and the Chinese governmet will try to use this way. It is already using it. But it is a much more difficult task in a country with hundreds of millions of rather bpooe consumers in comparison with export oriented model with huge open markets for the influx of Chinese goods in rich America.... But we again should not forget that Chinese "communists" adopted "capitast methods" and now they have many internal financial problems as the main capitalist country - the USA has. I will mention here only two problems that are quite similar with the USA financial problems , though there are much more Chinese internal financial problems and more may be coming.

Chinese economy as an American one is over-credited too much. Evereyone has large debts biginning from the giant State corporations to ordinary snall householders. And  like in America, China has many financial "investment bubles" - a lot of fictitious finance with no real assets supporting these finance... The stock market is unstable. In case of some negative development it falls down fast and deep below.  In short, China got in a trap and we do not know where from a new wave of the global financial crisys will start - from the USA, as many people think, or it will come from China ???

Latest developoments in Cginese finance proved that " traditional" methods do not help.
China devalued its currency and immediatly lost from 25 to 30 per cent of their stock exchange index. Which is even today overheated too much. By administrative means Chinese authorities "cooled off" some passions of the investors, mostly local ones. For how long ? We know that in 1929 in America too many peole also beleived that the governmet suppot will save their invested money and buisneses. As we know it did not save. Only the New Deal, combined with a World War II saved those who managed to stay alive in the 30-s. Some data indicate that millions died of hunger in rich America.

As the economic model did not change substantially since those years of the Great Depression we could expect something similar to the past greem experiances in foreseeable future. May be it is the main reason that the WAR zone widens every year ?

With the USA, Israel, France and Russia with their combat planes, China which, allegedly, plans to send an aircraft carrier to the shores of Syria, Iran with its soldiers already fighting on the Syryan soil, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and smaller petrol monarchies which helped in creation of a monster - ISIS - there are too many actors for a small land of Syria. And all of them are already acting as a military force or in another way. All of them are present there and they are very active in the Midle East petrol region.

Yes.... Too many military actors for a small Syria . May be it is just the beginning ?
Caused by compelling economic reasons ? May be the question "where from the crysis will come " should not be interpreted in two possible answers only - " from the USA or from China" ? May be the crysis will come from the Middle East? Starting from Syrian soil and spreading to the whole Middle East region as a minimum. The maximum expansion of the war zone is hard to foresee today. And therefore maybe the correct question about the forthcoming crysis  should be not "where from it will come" but instead of it a more greem question may arise soon - "WHAT KIND OF CRYSIS we may expect in the near future" ? Today it seems more and more that it could be a military crysis. God, save !

It sounds very alarmistic but there is a solid ground for such a queston.

On the photo: Turkish Air Forse jets striking , allegidly, at ISIS jihadists. Or may be the planes are striking at Kurdish separatists in Syria ? Or at Syrian government army ?
 God knows... Too many different interests have met in a small country Syria these days.
