Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine has barely supported itself with foreign aid from Western countries, although I am not optimistic about the final outcome, but at least now Ukraine is still fighting well, and it can even be said that it may not be comparable to any European country!
Russia, on the other hand, is forced to start operating in the Far East, and by virtue of its relationship with the mysterious powers of the East, it has become a resource exporter and a dumping country of goods from the great powers of the East. Although Russia has always been wary, it is really fragrant to make money, and when the cannon goes off, not only does it not cost money, but the economy grows!
Let's not forget that the Americans kept instigating, not to fight with Russia, but to completely interrupt the close exchanges between Europe and Russia, and not to let Europe's manufacturing industry and Russia's energy join forces. Ukraine has completely become an ulcer between Europe and Russia, bleeding from time to time!
As the Americans expected, most of the many European enterprises have withdrawn from Russia, Russia's cheap oil and gas is even more a pipe dream, expensive raw materials have completely made Europe lose its market competitiveness, Europe's financial financing has also fled to the United States, industrial capital has run to China, Southeast Asia, and the industry has been further hollowed out.
For example, Germany's three major car companies have been shouting for a long time to transfer production capacity collectively, have been clamoring to transfer production capacity, the largest chemical giant BASF has opened factories overseas, Volkswagen is directly moved to Hefei, this is just the tip of the iceberg, a survey of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry shows that 34% of German companies are planning to establish or expand R & D centers abroad, of which the proportion of German companies in China even exceeds 40%!
What's even more outrageous is that Britain has changed three prime ministers, but there is no improvement in the economy, who makes the landlord's family have no surplus grain, and directly loses 30% of Britain's foreign exchange reserves. By the way, the stock market and exchange rate have all been dried up to an all-time low.
Britain was sucked by the United States, while Germany sent its own hematopoietic organs directly! And Germany is the engine of the European economy, Germany is completely out of service, and the model of the whole of Europe has to change.
Only France, which has always been relatively autonomous, may be less affected, and some small countries in Eastern and Central Europe are basically bleak!
These are still visible on the surface, and some are undercurrents, which may cause black swan events at any time, such as the expansion of the European Union has become more and more difficult to ensure the consistency of interests, as the economy continues to slow down, the option of Brexit may be put on the agenda by many countries! After the UK, I think there will be the next one, it's just a matter of time!
As for whether the Russian-Ukrainian war will stop? As for the small countries of Eastern Europe, the three Baltic states, Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries, they have a deep hatred with Russia in history, and the United States is instigating them behind their backs. Again, it's a very long process!
As a big exporter, of course, we don't want Europe to fall directly, and of course such a thing will not happen immediately. To take the simplest example, the recent depreciation of the yen, countless Chinese ran to Japan to rush to buy. What to grab? European "luxury". Europe's strength is not limited to lithography machines and luxury cars. The gap in this area is deep in the minds of many people, and it is engraved into the bones, and it is not overnight to want to change!
As long as the racial image of Europeans remains high in the minds of some people, Europe will be able to endure for a long, long time.
