is watching it now, for this we include in our conversation ihor lytvyn, extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the people's republic of china in 1999-2001 and co-chairman of the ukrainian-chinese business council. mr. igor, we welcome you to our air. greetings, greetings to our viewers. mr. igor, scholz is in china and will meet with tsitsyn pinom, in particular. what do you personally expect from these meetings? let's think soberly. shultz came to china to resolve , first of all, i emphasize, first of all, the issue of bilateral relations, and bilateral business and economic relations. of course ,

the issue of china's possible influence on the position of the russian federation in terms of ending this bloody conflict will be on the agenda of his upcoming talks, which are scheduled for tuesday with... the president of the people's republic of china xi jinping and the premier of the state council of the people's republic of china li yijian aggression against ukraine, this is very good, because any effort aimed at ... this war finally ends, and ended in such a way that the aggressor removed his troops from the territory of ukraine, it is only welcome, but we will pragmatists and we will be clearly aware that scholz first of all came to china in order to solve the issue of economic cooperation. and between the two largest trading partners

, it is implied that for germany china is, as a separate country, the largest trading partner, in 2023 trade between china and germany will reach $266 billion, investments. from germany to the economy of china only in the years 21-23 was more than in the years 2020, which means the 23rd, that is, 12 billion dollars as part of the delegation, as we know, three ministers of the german government, this is the minister of environment, the minister of transport and the minister for... agriculture, there are also enough representatives of big

german business there, in particular the heads of companies such as siemens, bmw, ah, mercedes-benz, well, observers emphasize that there is no volkswagen representative there, but the point is not that he is not there, the point is that the questions remain relevant. so that, the interaction between the economies of china and germany, it, ah, does not stop its pace, and here we come to the problem that many commentators, experts emphasize , that china is now the biggest force that divides europe , that is, ah, scholz, i reminded. in the 22nd year

, he visited the visit to china is unprecedented, as you have already noted, in terms of... the length of the visit to china, because it turns out that it is also influenced by the position, that is , of scholz and his government inside the country, which means that... that the popularity ratings, they are constantly decreasing , and in a year or so there are already elections there, and there is a certain dissatisfaction of the german population with the actions of this government, secondly, the fact is that

scholz cannot risk relations with china now, because i have already said. it is china's largest trading partner, and a lot of hope is attached to the fact that relations in the economic sphere, they recovered because, again , when in the 80s, the economy of germany, it, let's say, went very much to the east, to china, there were a lot of investments. a lot of chinese german companies have become resident in china, the first are automobile companies, the second is a company that deals with, that is, chemical technologies, basf, and after a certain time, as it always happens, as history shows, with

similar cases , let's remember south korea when... in the beginning, south korea was just an assembly shop for western technology, in particular automotive, and then they learned and stopped buying, that is, all western automotive equipment, they began to, that is , produce their own, the same thing is happening in china, there is no longer such a dependence of chinese industrialists on german technologies, because they themselves are already very. .. dominated these areas, and now we see that, let’s say, the european union is already thinking about what to do in order to limit the influence of chinese electric car manufacturers in europe, because 60% is found, that is, in europe, bought, sold in the field electric cars, it's all china, and

yes, mr. igor, in fact, the study of the australian institute of strategic policy also says that... that their technologies have now moved forward, in fact, 37 out of 44 of the most important and newest technologies are leading in these areas china, not the west, and besides germany, by the way, italy is also going to further strengthen its contacts with china, because georgia maloney also announced that she will go in the coming months to improve cooperation, actually business and nothing personal. and it is precisely this development that allows china to be even more interesting now, russia buys from them what they need, china is not against selling, and i understand that this process will become faster and more extensive, right? i hope that both china and russia coincide here, and here we can use this interest, meaning the european union,

the west and the united states, to oppose only what china depends on. these are trade and economic ties with the west, if we take the trade turnover between china and russia now, it is, well, already very much, 240 somewhere in the billions of dollars, but we do not forget that i have already said about 26 billion, these are from germany, and with the european union - it is 835 billion, the united states in the 22nd year was 755, in the 23rd a little less, but still one and... between china and the west, the us plus the european union. china cannot afford to take russia's side in this confrontation, or let's say, in this competition, because it is simply not profitable for them, so we proceed from this, and therefore we can count on the fact that the ties between russia and china

are one thing, and the ties between china and the west are something other i don't think so, i'm even more sure that china will never go for an exchange, let's take the side of russia and reject the side of the west, it won't happen, but nevertheless, they now provide russia with practically everything they need for the shelling of ukraine, i am not talking now about some small particles for various drones, because we understand that aliexpress is such a resource. quite affordable, but cruise missile engines, some really high-quality precision technology, some metalworking tools. it all stretches from china to russia, including the respective that is, high-tech machines that make it possible to produce the appropriate, that is,

components for exactly weapons systems, that's all there is, we have to admit it, although china absolutely disavows the fact that it supplies something, critical weapons to russia, well, i think that ... soon, ah, the west, increasing its, therefore, sanctions pressure on russia, will force china to listen even more to disassociate itself from activities that may lead to secondary sanctions against the chinese campaign, we already know enough there are, and i think that i'm even sure that china is not so, you know, audacious enough to... to reject all of its own, which means reservations and rush to everything all-encompassing, means

helping russia, despite their, their rhetoric that a friendship without limits, uh, mr. igor, one last question, probably, because we see it this way, the war in our country continues in the middle east, the new phase is essentially yes. the activity is not abating, and there will likely be further escalation there, and over the last year we have been saying that the third such a very hot spot in the world, this is actually china taiwan, despite the fact that it seems that china is not yet ready to attack taiwan this year, probably even in the next one, but the latest statement that the family must be reunited from the mouth shows a lot about these intentions every day, what do you think, let's wait a year or maybe sooner in light of the fact that all the military events have started to move a little faster in this world now, knowing that means china for a long

time, i am still convinced that we should not expect very drastic actions from beijing, regarding taiwan, well, look, and... all the more so since there is a war going on, where ukraine clearly showed the whole world that we cannot be conquered in three days, and here no one was waiting for these invaders with flowers, and everyone was, that more so in russia, they are amazed that no one meets them, the same is happening with taiwan. the last election, which was held in january, clearly showed that there is not. in beijing because the people of taiwan want to join mainland china, they clearly see that 70% of taiwanese people

do not consider the possibility of a connection with china, and even more so, they become very much in opposition when there are talks about the fact that china can take over by force. i think that this will not happen, and there are so many stupid people in beijing, that is, the leaders, to imagine that we can be there in a year, two or three years, especially since at this time the west and the united states will be pumping taiwan with their weapons, necessary for taiwan to repel possible aggression from china, and i do not think that beijing has such thoughts, in fact, they clearly... that you cannot conquer a nation that does not want to be conquered, nevertheless, we observe that even some publications are already publishing such, not photographs, but

engravings with the image of chinese troops trying to attack their own landings near the coast of taiwan across the sea , and this may not be the first step of the war, but actually these hybrid elements about... which we observed, after all, and we have many, many years before the invasion, it is also present. of course, of course, there is such processing of the consciousness of the population of taiwan. sir igor, thank you for the conversation, since you were there on sunday. in the morning with us, ihor lytvyn, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the prc in the past and co-chairman of the ukrainian-chinese business council, was on the air of the espresso tv channel. i remind you that we are currently collecting fpv drones for... two ukrainian units, please donate how much you can, 10, 20, 100, 200, whoever has more, please encourage us,
