Lithuanian this little comma is more alive than these days.
In order to show its strongest support for the EU's policy of sanctioning Russia, on October 21, according to the EU observer website (EUobserver), in order to cooperate with the EU's 12th round of sanctions against Russia, Lithuania proposed to ban the export of nails, buttons, buttons, radiators, sewing needles and knitting needles and other daily necessities to Russia.
The Lithuanian government claimed to "destroy Russian industrial capacity" through this move, and many netizens said that Nauseda had a brain problem again.
Even EU officials privately tell the media that this is a "fairy tale", but Fang's braincase funny is serious.
The Lithuanian government wrote these proposals in detail in ten pages, and in addition to Lithuania's ban on the sale of nails, buttons, etc., EU countries must also follow suit.
If everyone unites, then Russia will lose its industrial capacity because of nails, buttons, buttons, and collapse, and it will be captured.
Russia is estimated to have been frightened in the past two days, and its face turned livid and shivered.
Nails, buttons, buttons, radiators, sewing needles and knitting needles... Which is not the jewel in the industrial crown?
Winter is coming, imagine if there were no buttons, sewing needles, radiators in the whole of Russia, how many Russians would be killed or injured in the long cold winter due to poor clothing?
The United States also has to understand the point, if Lithuania bans the export of nails, buttons, sewing needles to the United States in the future ... With this neck card, I'm afraid the United States will also have to die.
Lithuania's move is quite ruthless, not only to cut the nails and buttons to the Russian export market, but also to pull the entire EU to do so.
As a result, there is a huge gap in the Russian market, who can fill this gap?
Then a mysterious force is needed, which is the --- Yiwu Commodity City, which has manipulated the US election, manipulated the French "yellow vest" movement, and manipulated the World Cup competition.
In terms of the production of small commodities, Russia has to import a large part of it from Europe for historical reasons, and the factories of nails, buttons, radiators and other factories in the Soviet era are mainly located in the Baltic region, and now they are all EU countries.
Russia imports these products to Europe, with close distances, convenient transportation, and long-term cooperation, and has already formed a trade system.
If Lithuania and von der Rider really implement this, the most unlucky ones will be the relevant manufacturers in the EU. Over time, they have to go out of business and workers lose their jobs. Don't underestimate the production of these small commodities, which bring jobs to some European countries.
In order to curry favor with the United States, Lithuania gave the Europeans away.
But the problem is that the mysterious Yiwu bosses have been "coveting" this market for a long time.
If Lithuania forces Russia to reorganize and establish a small commodity trading system, then it will not be easy for the EU to occupy the Russian market in the future.
On October 21, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova responded: It is difficult to imagine what kind of "madness" Chinese manufacturers of knitting needles and buttons would fall into if they discovered that Lithuania planned to "destroy Russia's industrial capabilities"?
This is telling Lithuania, don't make trouble, Russia is not at all in your little trick, this market China can completely fill.
If Lithuania had been able to "destroy Russian industrial capabilities" in this way, Russia would have been finished long ago.
Lithuanian jumping beam clown, let it toss and talk about some deep-seated problems.
When the EU sanctioned Russia continuously, many of the sanctions were related to light industrial products, because the EU knew that Russia's production capacity in consumer goods was very weak, from the establishment of the Soviet Union to Russia's independence.
The Soviet Union was fully committed to heavy industry before the war, and Stalin planned to develop light industry after that, but World War II completely disrupted the Soviet Union's industrial plans. Due to the needs of national defense and the military, the proportion of heavy industry has not only not decreased, but has increased.
After World War II, the geopolitics of the Soviet Union and Europe underwent major changes, and Stalin's decision on the layout of industry was based on the new situation.
In 1949, the Soviet Union took the lead in establishing the "Economic Mutual Society" (Committee for Mutual Economic Assistance), and almost all European socialist countries joined the "Economic Mutual Association", and later Cuba, Vietnam and so on.
The USSR carried out a division of labor on this platform, and all countries had corresponding products of light industry.
Small Lithuanian factories (such as match factories) were destroyed by two-thirds in the war, but by 1956, Lithuania had established more than 300 factories, and the Soviet Union vigorously supported its development of light industry, including later the laser industry.
Ukraine is a major city for heavy industry, military industry and high technology, as well as agriculture in western Ukraine.
Fishing nets, small hardware, and small agricultural machinery were handed over to Lithuania and other Baltic republics. The same goes for spikes, buttons, buttons, radiators, but Lithuania has very limited production due to a lack of labor.
Although this division of labor helped the Soviet Union to achieve its industrial goals as planned, there were cases of duplication of construction, extravagance and waste, and deviations between price and value, both at home and abroad.
In 1958, the members of the Council met in Romania and established the "Bucharest" principle to solve these problems and set standards for trade prices among countries.
But this created another problem, and the large division of labor made it impossible for even the Soviet Union itself to establish a complete industrial system. When the Soviet Union did not exist, the seemingly complete industrial system would fall apart.
After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao decided to give priority to the development of heavy industry, first consolidate the national defense force, and then build the country.
The Soviet Union hoped that China would offer to join the Economic Mutual Council, but China never responded.
In 1954, Khrushchev visited China and tentatively raised to Chairman Mao the question of China's accession to the Economic Mutual Council. Chairman Mao refused in person, "There is no need for this, and there is not much practical significance; on the contrary, it may be troublesome, entangled, and hinder the development of construction." ”
Later, the Soviet Union also persuaded China to join through different channels, but China only kept in touch with the Economic Mutual Association, sending Chen Yun and others to attend the meeting as observers, but did not join.
At that time, some people thought that joining the Economic Association would be a lot of dividends.
If China transforms heavy industry into light industry and accepts the industrial layout (division of labor) of the Soviet "big socialist family", then all consumer goods produced in China will be purchased by the Soviet Union without competition.
At the same time, the USSR will supply China with cheap raw materials for the production of oil, minerals and other products.
Eastern Europe gained this "advantage" through the Economic Mutual Association, and their light industrial products lacked market competitiveness in Europe, but the Soviet Union accepted them all.
The Soviet Union's energy was sold to Eastern Europe at prices far below the market price, in fact, the Soviet Union's "hard products" could be sold more to Western Europe and Japan through the international market to obtain profits.
But the USSR was willing to "subsidize" the younger brothers, and did not want to trade according to the laws of the international energy market.
Why didn't Chairman Mao want these "dividends"? Because China's goal is to establish a complete industrial system. Although the road will be difficult and long, we will definitely achieve it.
Industrial categories can be divided into 39 categories, 191 intermediate categories, 525 subcategories, China is now the only country in the world with a full-category, independent and complete industrial system.
If China had been greedy for "dividends" and concentrated on a certain industrial field, it would certainly not be able to achieve its goals in the long run.
Although we offended the USSR by rejecting Khrushchev's kindness, it was worth it.
Khrushchev did not want to harm China, he just felt that Big Brother could achieve the industrial integrity of the "big family" through the division of labor.
But China does not think so, and China has its own overall strategy and long-term goals.
In fact, this model also hurt the USSR. Although in the Brezhnev era, the Soviet Union's national power reached its peak, from the beginning of the 80s, the Soviet economy went into a decline until its collapse.
The principles of the Economic Mutual Association are based on the selflessness of the members of the "big family".
However, are Eastern European countries selfless?
For example, after the outbreak of the second oil crisis in 1979, the price of oil in 1980 rose by 250% compared to 1978, while the Soviet Union sold it to members of the Economic Mutual Council by only 17%.
So the problem arises, some "smart" countries see an opportunity to get rich.
Bulgaria and the Czech Republic went so far as to secretly resell oil imported from the Soviet Union to Western European countries, settling it in dollars, and obtained huge profits, and this difference actually shed Soviet blood.
And they still have many patterns of socialist wool, everyone has a kind of learning, and when Gorbachev comes up, the USSR will not even have time to stop the bleeding.
Later, the Eastern European countries became "democratic" and no longer mentioned their own socialist wool, but accused the Soviet Union of how to imprison them, which is very immoral.
The Soviet republics benefited more, but some countries also hated the Soviet Union.
Well, is Lithuania going to return a lot of Soviet money to Russia? Do you want to apportion the repayment of the external and domestic debts of the USSR? It did not return anything, but it still hated the Soviet Union.
Today, these countries are nothing more than a new thigh, and most of them have no independence to speak of.
Nauseda said that he is the president, but he is nothing more than an agent of the United States, scaring Russia with nails and buttons, this level, it is difficult to be a mayor in China.
And Russia, the heir of the USSR, is now being necked with nails and buttons by Lithuania. Although Zakharova mocked Lithuania, is there not a trace of pathos in this matter?
It's not that Russia can't produce these gadgets, it's that it doesn't have such an industrial chain.
Russia is like a martial arts master who can dance a big knife but can't use an embroidery needle!
And we are able to supply Russia with a lot of light industrial products, which, by the way, makes Lithuania a joke, because we have a strong and comprehensive manufacturing sector.
As far as Lithuania's production is concerned, Yiwu one or two stalls are estimated to be able to replace it. But to meet the consumer demand of the whole of Russia, the pressure in Yiwu is still a bit great.
If China does not have a full-fledged industrial system, let alone supply Russia, when the West wants to jam us with gadgets, our consumer demand will also be a problem.
Chairman Mao rejected the "dividend" that year, and some people did not understand. Today, the Council has long since disappeared, and we are enjoying the real dividends that an industrial powerhouse can produce.
The world's factories and infrastructure madness have all come out step by step, and great people have long pointed out this path for China.
What is foresight? And here it is!
In the face of China today, the self-mutilation sanctions of the West are ridiculously weak.
