๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ New Russia-China economic pact will be impervious to any Western sanctions or blockade

The expanded technological partnership with China proposed by President Putin, and the complementary nature of Russian-Chinese economic potential make the two countries impervious to whatever economic bullying the US and its allies manage to think up, says Jeff Brown, a veteran China expert and author.

โ€œChina could play to Russiaโ€™s strengths, and the list is long: nuclear energy, arms, aerospace, machinery, petrochemical, metallurgy, plant breeding and agriculture for starters. As well, China is tops in supercomputers, robots, 5G-6G, supply chains and logistics, which all complement the aforementioned... They each have unique advantages in medicine and pharma. Chinaโ€™s top high-tech schools (Tsinghua, Peking, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Fudan, USTC, etc.) could build campuses in Russia, with a strong focus on R&D. Both countries need to get much better at AI and microchips, so finding mutual synergies would be beneficial to both sides,โ€ Brown told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œIt also helps tremendously that Russia and China have a long, shared border, with connecting rail, road, electric grid and hydrocarbon infrastructure, that the West cannot sabotage,โ€ the observer added.

โ€œAll of these possibilities would go great lengths to help each country individually and together, as Western empire desperately throws NATO and every boycott, blockade, tariff and sanction it can at both countries,โ€ Brown emphasized.

US โ€˜Emperorโ€™ has no clothes: Competing Russian, US approaches to Chinese tech reveal American weakness

โ€œChina is providing its high-tech platform to Russia because, China is more advanced in in high tech fields,โ€ Angelo Giuliano, a Hong Kong-based political and financial analyst, told Sputnik, commenting on President Putinโ€™s invitation to Chinese companies to set up production in Russia, as the US seeks to clamp down on Beijingโ€™s high tech aspirations via exorbitant new tariffs.

โ€œSo China could compensate for whatever Russia is missing in its economy. On the other side, Russia is providing energy resources like gas, oil and raw materials and agricultural to China, so in exchange China is providing access to high tech consumer products,โ€ Giuliano explained.


The US, on the other hand, โ€œis very scaredโ€ of the Chinaโ€™s potential โ€œbecause in reality Chinese development, especially in high tech - is exponential. The reason is very simple. It is because China has five to six times more science, technology, math-engineering graduates that come out of universities every year, and they are actually investing a lot of money into R&D, which the US is not,โ€ the observer said.

โ€œSo in reality, [the problem] is the structure of the Western economy, which is completely deindustrialized and completely inflated by a financialized economy,โ€ Giuliano concluded.

โ—พ"Macron is a murderer! He has crushed the Yellow Vests, he has crushed all these people at his home, but you're not at home here, this is Kanaky, go crush your mother."

In response to protests that have erupted in New Caledonia, Emmanuel Macron has imposed a state of emergency, which has placed restrictions on movement, banned TikTok, and set a curfew on the islandโ€™s residents. He has also deployed 500 additional officers to join the 1,800 police and gendarmes already there suppressing the unrest.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: May 17-18 (Recap)

1๏ธโƒฃ Israelโ€™s lawyers argued at the United Nations top court that the country has the right to move ahead with a full-scale offensive on Rafah in southern Gaza.

2๏ธโƒฃ Israel plans to deploy more troops and โ€œintensifyโ€ its ground invasion of southern Rafah where hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians are sheltering in the war-battered city.

3๏ธโƒฃ Israeli military has intensified its bombardment of Jabalia camp with at least six people reported killed and many wounded.

4๏ธโƒฃ An estimated 630,000 people have fled Israeli attacks in Rafah in the past week and another 100,000 in Gazaโ€™s north.

5๏ธโƒฃ Thousands of Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza are cut off from water and food after a week-long Israeli incursion that has led to heavy casualties on both sides.

6๏ธโƒฃ Clare Daly, an Irish member of the European Parliament, says the Irish government should suspend US military flights passing through Shannon to stop the killing in Gaza.

7๏ธโƒฃ Truce negotiations between Hamas and Israel โ€˜have been stoppedโ€™ The main sticking point was the cessation of the war in exchange for the release of captives, it said.

At least 35,303 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 79,261 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

๐Ÿ”นIn the north of the #GazaStrip, the Israelis are transferring reinforcements to Jabaliya in order to expand the area of โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹operation. Meanwhile, the first humanitarian cargo was delivered to Gaza via an American floating jetty.

๐Ÿ”นIn the south of the Enclave, in the vicinity of Rafah, clashes and engineering work by the IDF continue. According to Israeli media, hundreds of tunnels have been discovered, more than 50 of which lead to #Egypt.

๐Ÿ”นOn the border with #Lebanon, there is another escalation. The IDF eliminated with a targeted strike a Hezbollah field commander, and the Lebanese group launched rocket and UAV attacks on various military targets.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Iraq, pro-Iranian formations again announced the launch of UAVs on Eilat, alarms and explosions were not reported as before.

๐Ÿ”นIn the Red Sea Region, the Yemeni Houthis from Ansarallah shot down an #US American MQ-9 UAV over Marib.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Situation on the #Kharkov Front at the End of 17 May 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ดThe RFAF are keeping an intrigue on the battlefield, which is forcing the AFU Grouping to randomly throw reserves into several directions at once:

๐Ÿ”ตThe village of Volchanskiye Khutora (east of Volchansk) is the starting point for our further offensive operation. After the capture of the village, the RFAF will be able to attack the AFU positions on the eastern flank at the outskirts of #Volchansk or make a deep breakthrough to the village of Bely Kolodez (hidden by pics) in order to reach the motorway and railway station.
๐ŸŸกThe second option is the most likely. The AFU do not have a prepared defence in this area, and the control of the RFAF over the supply of the Ukrainian group along the road will destroy the enemyโ€™s further plans.
๐ŸŸกHowever, such operations are associated with great risk. In the implementation of a breakthrough, information about the actions of the AFU in real time will play a vital role.

๐Ÿ”ตSimultaneously, the assault on the village of #Liptsy (to the west) also intensified from the north and east.

๐Ÿ”ตAnd Syrsky, the AFU commander-in-chief, who failed the defence, decided to take a completely desperate and pathetic step: declaring that our fighters had allegedly already gone to the rear of the Ukrainian group in #Volchansk, he tried to provoke the RFAF into dangerous maneuvers.

๐ŸŽฏ Yesterday, precision strikes on facilities in the #Odessa region hit (see also on bottom) enemy logistics centres. The AFU are still experiencing problems due to a lack of air defence assets, enemy monitoring channels are reporting our reconnaissance UAVs over the region. At 06:00, the enemy claimed that rockets from #Crimea were again launched at #Odessa.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kharkov direction, the "North" Group of Troops continues its offensive, they reported full control over #Staritsa, there is information about our troops entering #Zybino. Heavy fighting continues in #Volchansk, the Russian Army on the approaches to #Liptsy. Strikes are carried out on the rear areas of the enemy. The AFU is transferring reserves from the #Kupyansk, #ChasovYar, #Kramatorsk and #Krasnoarmeysk directions.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kupyansk direction, the RFAF are attacking on the frontline north of the recently liberated #Kislovka.

๐Ÿ”นIn #ChasovYar's eastern "Kanal Microdistrict", our troops are attacking the urban area with the support of tanks and artillery.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Pokrovskoye direction (west of #Avdeyevka), the RFAF are conducting offensive operations at the settlement of #Umanskoye. Intensive fighting is taking place at #Arkhangelskoye.

๐Ÿ”นOn the #Zaporozhye front, our troops are gnawing out enemy strongholds northwest of #Verbovoye. The difficult situation in #Rabotino is characterised locally by the constant use of drones and artillery by the AFU, hitting our assault groups. There are practically no shooting battles in the village.

๐Ÿ’ฅ#Belgorod region is under constant enemy strikes. As a result of the evening attack two civilians were wounded. Also, an AFU FPV struck Novaya Naumovka, Belgorod district (3 km from the border), one civilian was killed and another wounded. The arrival of a kamikaze drone was reported in #Shebekino.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn #Kursk region, the Sudzha Checkpoint, the villages of #Plyokhovo and #Guyevo, #Oleshnya in the Sudzhansky district, #Gordeyevka in the Korenevsky district, #Tyotkino and #Krasnooktyabrsky in the Glushkovsky district were shelled.

Two explosive devices were dropped from drones in the village of #Guyevo, one each in the village of #Gogolevka and the Oleshnya Farm, Sudzhansky district.
๐Ÿ›กElectronic warfare equipment suppressed AFU copters near the villages of #Sverdlikovo and #Gogolevka, the village of #Oleshnya in the Sudzhansky district and the village of #Sergeyevka in the Glushkovsky district. Near #Oleshnya, three AFU copters were destroyed by small arms and electronic warfare.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ RFAF advanced in #Netaylovo. Assault squads are already in the northwestern part.

๐Ÿ”ต In the south of the map is the famous #Nevelskoye, which is now shown on most maps as AFU controlled again, without any fighting being reported there.
๐ŸŸก Previously, the nest came under RFAF control (on maps only) without troops entering it.
๐ŸŸก In the further course, the RFAF was able to conquer the southwestern part, while the AFU was able to hold the northwestern part.
๐ŸŸก Then the RFAF were driven out and in the meantime they are advancing again on the village.
