Aisa (China, South Corea, Taïwan, Malaysia, India, Japan) is becoming the biggest world industrial center. It'll be the heart of the world industry in the near future. It needs a lot of energy (oil and gas).
Wouldn't be more interesting for Russia to export all its energy to China and Japan? in this case, there won't be transit taxes, no problem of negociations (like with Ukraine).
Exporting oil and gas towards Europe costs a lot in transit taxes. pipelines go accross a lot of countries before they reach western Europe (the big consummers). Transit taxes is waste of money. It would be more profitable for Russia to export energy to China and Japan.
What do you think? |

Well it's pretty clever idea!
I think you should send your plan to WTO and OPEC immediately. |

PIB China = 3500 billion USD
PIB Japan = 4200 billion USD
PIB western Europe = 16 835 billion USD
+ EURO one of the 2 world currency reference.
added the fact that Russia became a G8 member only because of its UE energy supplier status...
I don't think Medvedev will do such stupidity, even if he threat the EU from time to time, but everybody knows it's not serious.
Russia has too much to loose making EU angry. |

Anyway. If I were president I would have started building of a new routes for a gas right after first sign of licking the ass of the USA by Ukrainian president Yuschenko.
Unfortunately our rulers are too lazy. They are quick when it comes to blame U.S. (hey, it's a cheap thing to say a few words into a camera) but they are slow and reluctant when it is necessary to do something really useful for the country. |

I don't agree Ender. It's true, things are not going quickly (it's the less we cans say) but the government is working...
| Quote: | MOSCOW, October 11 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday identified priorities for the domestic economy's modernization, with energy efficiency, information technology, civilian nuclear energy and pharmaceuticals outlined as target areas.
In an interview with the Russian state-owned TV Channel One aired on Sunday, Medvedev said it was important to stimulate these areas to make the Russian economy rely not only on oil and gas but also on high technologies.
"I have formulated top five priorities... They include energy efficiency because we waste too much energy; information products, both ground- and space-based; nuclear energy, which has always been our trump card and can change life for the better, and pharmaceuticals as we must produce our own medicinal drugs qualitatively and at affordable prices," Medvedev said.
Medvedev said that it was also necessary to modernize other sectors of the domestic economy.
"Of course, we must deal with the modernization of our social sphere and political system. We are now reforming the pension system. A whole range of new social laws are coming into force. Next year, large funds have been set aside to finance the pension system," Medvedev said.
Medvedev said that the Russian economy could be modernized within 10-15 years.
"Maybe ten to fifteen years is quite a foreseeable horizon, beyond which we should see already a new economy. An economy that is able to compete with the world's largest economies," Medvedev said.
Medvedev said that the global financial crisis had hit the Russian economy harder than expected but the government's prompt anti-crisis measures helped the country avoid the worst-case scenario. |
i think that investing in high technologies is very good. especially if it is in the military field. |
