  1.  @EconLessons  That is why the formerly burned-out and defeated WW2 losers (primarily Germany and Japan) later turned into economic powerhouses. Look at how much stuff in your house is of German or Japanese design. Their wealth is in the skills and drives of their people.

  2. There is all upside and no downside in going that route - which is why it will probably happen. FYI Konstantin Samalov (channel INSIDE RUSSIA) had a video out on that. Seems the state has a new official posture towards China, at least in the far eastern provinces.

  3. A shame. The only made-in-Russia objects I have ever seen in my life are some old Progress Publishers books and the rare Ural motorcycle. Generally their goods don't make the cut.

  4. Germany too. It is their people that make their strength.
