According to personal observations, Russia's "Chinese fever" has not been hot, China's economy has grown steadily, and after the war, Russia is internationally isolated and turning to China is understandable.
However, even if the people of the two countries have similar socialist experience, after all, they are still very different, and there are very large differences in thinking and values.This last resort is full of suspicion, and they are working hard to adjust each other. It is not advisable to hold too much fantasy.
On February 24 last year, Russia launched "special military operations" to Ukraine, which is the "war" that the world understands.In this year, Russia began to have a boom in learning Chinese, and the number of applicants for language schools or private tutoring doubled.The sudden war made the Russian folk frightened and hoped to develop outward, and China became the primary destination.
According to data from the Russian AVITO service website, the Russians have increased in foreign languages in recent years, especially in Asia, such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean.Not only is it adult, students in Russian mainstream schools are also actively asking for help from private tutoring, and the number of people has increased by as much as double.
The demand for private tutoring services in foreign languages has increased by 30%. Among them, Chinese growth is the most significant, especially in the eastern cities near China, Vladivostok, and the demand for Chinese tutoring is more than three times.If teachers are Chinese, one -hour private Chinese class charges are more expensive than English, French, and German classes.
How to interpret this "Chinese fever" phenomenon?Is it temporarily or long -term?What did the Russian folk react because the war was "forced" to go closer and closer because of this war?
Compared with Western countries, Chinese officials and folks have always been cautious and treated with Russia, maintaining a neutral expression that seems to be right, no strong condemnation, no economic sanctions, and even some netizens support the Russian army to "deal with" Ukraine.This keeps Russia's consistent temperature on China.With the opening of the Chinese portal after the epidemic, it may become the main place of Russian talent outflow.
The heads of the two countries passed the video talks on December 30 last year to actively evaluate the new results of bilateral relations development. It is also a major international and regional issues exchange opinions, which means that the two countries have strengthened mutual trust.Faced with Western sanctions, Russia can only strengthen its business relations with China and depends on China.
According to Bloomberg, Western sanctions have seriously crack down on trade between the European Union and Russia, so China has become the main trading partner of Russia.However, China's exports to Russia are still not enough to offset the decline in trade with European groups, showing the importance of Europe before Russia.
This development is not surprising at all, but there are many people who are awake.Professor Roconoov Alexeese Maslov, Director of the Institute of Asian and African State Research Institute of Moscow, publicly stated publicly at the beginning of the war that Russia may danger the addictive dependence on China.
Maslov said that the most important thing is not only to buy Chinese goods, but to establish high -tech joint venture with China in Russia; not to buy Chinese machines or printing circuit boards, but joint production.He revealed that Russian factories have been ready to accept such enterprises, but they have been in a state of negotiation for a long time.
He believes that Russia has to rely on China, but China is not interested in investing in Russian companies at all.Russia cannot rely only on China, but must expand cooperation with other countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, India and African countries.China is important but not the only partner.
According to personal observations, Russia's "Chinese fever" has not been hot, China's economy has grown steadily, and after the war, Russia is internationally isolated and turning to China is understandable.However, even if the people of the two countries have similar socialist experience, after all, they are still very different, and there are very big differences in thinking and values.This last resort is full of suspicion, and they are working hard to adjust each other. It is not advisable to hold too much fantasy.
I went to school and work in Russia in 2009, and witnessed the steady growth of Russians' demand for Chinese education.I was the only Chinese teacher in a language school in Kalinen (nearly 1 million people, the farthest state to China).After a few years, there are other language schools to run Chinese lessons. Russians who have graduated from the Chinese Department of Chinese Department have been taught, and there are only a few.
I also see that many Chinese students are relatively low in tuition every year or forced by parents to study abroad, but most of them choose to leave.Many Chinese immigrant families, regardless of their careers, rarely choose to stay; all those who choose to stay are very happy and tasteful.Leaving the first is not suitable for the Russians' "too slow" and "too lazy" lifestyle in their eyes. Second, they are more obsessed with their hometown of life and spicy, caring, and caring.
Some Chinese people even think that Russia is not as good as China's second- and third -tier cities. It takes pride and gaze to look at "(old) Maozi" Russia (yes, from the late Qing Dynasty to the present).The older generation of Chinese people went to the "elder brother" to take the worship of the scriptures or learn, and the revolutionary emotions reserved have long gone in the younger generation.
The clumsy opinion believes that the Russians have the values of Europeans.This is reflected in the attitude of life in all aspects. For example, the relative public and private distinction, the vacation will not go to work (no matter how much money comes), the details of life of the sense of ritual, and a little more warm and delicate in Western Europeans., Sensitive, even a bit of neurotic, etc.; not rational, diligent, aggressive and efficient Chinese people who can understand and appreciate speed and efficiency.Russians are not as proud as Western Europeans. They even have a little self -doubt in their consciousness, and have profound self -reflection. Instead, they have more tolerance and curiosity to outsiders.
If you have to choose, the Russians will go to Berlin, Milan or Barcelona for vacation or even settlement, and it is definitely not Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou.However, based on national conditions and international situations, the Russians will make pragmatic choices, actively learn new languages, and seize new opportunities.Russia under sanctions in Western countries is difficult to do, but each other should also seek the greatest cooperation on the basis of fairness and fairness.
After a year of war, Russia and Ukraine lost both.On February 22, Russian President Putin met with Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee of the mainland government in Moscow. The two sides once again showed the world's strategic cooperation with "no end and no restricted area".Will this affect geopolitics?I hope that the peace that we will eagerly look forward to the early arrival.
