Could China Survive the Sanctions Against Russia?

hmm I feel the title was fine... "Cool China Survive Russian-style Sanctions" makes it sound like whether China can handle sanctions from Russia. The question is whether China could handle the same sanctions currently placed against Russia.

@@willengel2458 I don't know what eco friendly manufacturing you're talking about. China has been increasing their emissions every year. They are opening new coal plants to provide electricity for their manufacturing plants. There is absolutely nothing eco friendly about Chinese manufacturing.

China has been used by Advanced economies to offshore their pollution and cheap labor.

We could survive it. Can’t say the same for China.

We are already facing a global recession. How else can our financial systems deteriorate further?

Beijing orders officials to find ways to protect the nation from western sanctions like those used against Russia Deterring Chinese aggression against Taiwan is in everyone’s interest. It is not just an Indo-Pacific issue, it is a global issue,' Chinese officials are looking at ways to defend the country from economic attack if the West should look to sanction China in the same way it did Russia - stoking fears the nation is preparing for an invasion of Taiwan. 'No one on site could think of a good solution to the problem,' the Financial Times quoted a source as saying. 'China’s banking system isn’t prepared for a freeze of its dollar assets or exclusion from the Swift messaging system as the US has done to Russia.'

God forbid we got off slave labor

True, most people didnt realise that without chinese component, some of factory outside china will also stop production due to lack of supply chain.

Australia is the second largest producer of rare earth elements. We also supply basically everything China needs they cut us out and their economy tanked

There are large deposits of rare metals elsewhere on earth not being mined currently because of Chinese abundance.

Rare earths are not actually that rare, and aren't exclusively found in China. In the '90s, many mines in the US, Brazil, Canada, and Australia were closed because China undercut them. Many are starting to be reopened due to concerns about dependence on China.

China lacks the capability to manufacture those components, the west lacks the will to mine those resources. One is a problem of capability, the other is a matter of cost. The West can and is starting to gather those resources from other places than China, and China as a nation has begun to pivot away from being the worlds manufacturing hub for the last few years (hence why they are investing heavily in Africa, they want Africa to become China's China). All it would take the for the West to ditch china is another available market and, barring that, 5ish years to produce rare-earth mines at scale on their own soil (something they have being working on already for the past 5 years btw). If the west has the will, it has the way. China is 30 years behind semiconductor production and not even IP theft can change that. Semiconductor production at the size (2-5nm) and scale that Taiwan produces is a feat that not even the USA is capable of matching in short order. Unless they are able to successfully take Taiwan without destroying the semiconductor factories and without killing the men and women who work in them they aren't producing anything remotely close to that on their own soil for decades. Both sides would undoubtedly be hurt by such an event, but when one side is hurting for cheap labor and global-distributed raw materials and the other is hurting for highly-skilled manufacturing processes and the decades of knowledge that leads into that skill set one will recover much faster than the other.

The rare earths thing is overblown. When the Chinese froze out the Japanese a few years ago, everyone that depends on rare earths took steps to protect themselves from such disruptions. Rare earths are used much less these days, and the companies that still use them now maintain sufficient stockpiles to get by long enough for new rare earth purifying facilities to get up and running. The rare earths threat has been completely nerfed. Not an issue anymore. On semiconductors, the US and Korea both have facilities that produce 2020 level chips. In a year and a half or so, the US will have facilities producing 2022 level chips. So US tech will not be stalled for more than a couple of years. And since new chip architectures mostly come from the US and Japan while the precision machinery for making new chips comes from Europe, there will no long term slow down. Within four or five years, the world will be back on track, except that most of the new fabs will be in the US and Europe instead of in Taiwan.

@@yopyop3241 I believe your argument is overly optimistic. I already mentioned that Intel would still be active in the United States, but their production volume (along with Samsung's) isn't remotely close to meeting global demand. Covid brought the industry to its knees by itself through an uptick in demand and disruption of the supply chain (mild disruption compared to the Taiwan invasion scenario) . Even though the situation has stabilized, the industry still hasn't completely recovered two and a half years later. To use a concrete example, the RTX3080 price went flying north of 2000 USD. I can't imagine a high-end GPU costing less than 10000 USD if such an invasion did happen. Even though Intel is finally working on a (somewhat) competetive GPU, Nvidia and AMD are the only two heavyweight players in this field and are both entirely dependent on TSMC. Apple would probably be out of business, since most of their supply chain depends on China-proper and on TSMC for their CPUs. Quallcomm relies on both Samsung and TSMC, but is currently contracting TSMC for their next lineup, so Android phones would also be severely affected with the disruption of Snapdragon and Kirin (and again, PRC manufacturing and sales market). A single fabrication plant costs between 10 to 20 billion USD and takes up to 5 years to build, assuming the know-how and experienced engineers are available. TSMC is responsible for 56% of contract fabrication. It would take *at least* a decade for the western semiconductor industry to recover in my opinion, if they can even figure out how to reestablish an economy of scale without China.

​@@bashersully7667 I think we are talking past each other. We are discussing the microchip situation in the wake of a PRC invasion of Taiwan and the imposition of Russia-style sanctions on China. My point isn't that there will be no effect on the global microchip market/situation. That's obviously absurd. No, my point is that the global microchip market/situation will have no effect on the world's ability to respond to the PRC's invasion of Taiwan. In the wake of invasion and sanctions, I would expect microchips to be in short supply. Rationing is likely. It will be like the gasoline situation in the US and around the world during WW2. Shortages and rationing, but not to the extent that it had any detrimental impact on the US's war effort. In contrast, the sanctions will gut China's ability to do much of anything. In the microchip arena, China's complete inability to access advanced chips will undoubtedly have an impact in some critical areas. But that's one of the lesser concerns for China. The biggest problem for China will undoubtedly be the lack of oil. The oil that China will be able to access won't even be sufficient to maintain domestic food distribution, much less maintain food distribution while also sustaining an amphibious attack on Taiwan.

@@yopyop3241 I don't dispute that China would be significantly paralyzed in the energy and food sectors, only disputing the video's assertion that the west would continue to have a semiconductor advantage. I get the feeling too many people think that going on with life would be as simple as setting up shop in India and returning to normal in 5 years. I think there will be an an entire generation of lost progress. Luckily this is all a thought exercise, China unlike Russia isn't dumb enough to start a war anytime in the next 15 years.

​@@bashersully7667 US-based Intel says that it is already poised to take the lead back from TSMC with production of 18 Angstrom chips forecast to come online by the end of 2024. We'll see if they can actually accomplish that, but in any case, that seems like proof that there isn't any risk of "an entire generation of lost progress."

China, Africa and India are basically the world with over 4 billion people. Europe and the USA - maybe one billion tops.

so basically half mondial population

The UN General Assembly condemened Russia overwhelmingly while only four other states supported it. Moral support by Belarus or Eritrea however won't fix a economy that is attacked by the EU, US and allies which have disporoportional strong economies. 35 states obstained, including China and India, and that is basically their position right now. While the relations with Russia are still okay, major Chinese banks and companies comply with Western sanctions, even though unwillingly. That's why Russian state media had to tone down expectations about "new economic ties".

@@dirremoire We be da big dick champs tho

Oh the US is some orders of magnitude more dependent on China than Russia

You haven't watched the video. According to the video, the damage to the US from sanctioning China would only be 2% of US GDP. That's about one third of the economic damage of the first year of the pandemic. And the damage from sanctioning China would come down much faster, because China overwhelmingly only provides the world with low skilled manufacturing labor, the easiest and fastest thing there is to replace.

@@pepsisupremacy5533 Not from Russia as I live in North America and most oil is sourced on this side of the Atlantic with foreign oil coming in from the Middle East primarily. Europe is more exposed to Russian Oil but changing oil suppliers to the Central Asia, Middle East, North Africa, South America, South East Asia and Polynesia is eminently possible and can be done rather quickly. Gas is a much bigger issue particularly in the East but alternatives can be found and Russia doesn't have the infrastructure to send gas to Asian buyers in the same way it can send Oil elsewhere. The transition away from using Russian energy supplies will be painful but it only needs to be done once. When finished Russia will have tens of billions of dollars worth of stranded infrastructure. This doesn't even go into how dependent the Russian Oil and Gas industry is on foreign parts and technical knowledge. Those will be cut off making replacing the expertise that much harder. Particularly as Russia has been suffering brain drain to the west for decades. And even if they do replace the expertise they would have to build factories find the tools and the workers that can make the parts. All this takes alot of fucking time time that Russia won't have because once you shut off an oil well or gas field its real hard to get it going again. And the yields won't be the same meaning it will cost more to operate in the same place making your energy cost more. There are alot of nuances here saying that the west is barely getting by is missing the point; inflation alone is not the only metric of economic health. It must be stated the Western Economies will still grow this year albiet more slowly than expected. The Russian economy will decline and even if the (and especially if) the Ruble goes up in value that won't change the structural problems facing the Russian economy

they are kinda like gold, you can find them everywhere but cant mine them everywhere, theres a lot of requirements to mine rare earth, and the process requires lots of water and then renders that water un-useable, many countries are now producing rare earths but thats just one piece of the puzzle, next is to process them, you can dig our crude but if you cant refine it, its still useless, this processing stage requires technology and due to its head start ,china is still ahead, chile,argentina and even australia send thier mined rare earth to china for processing, so its not just about its abundance, theres a lot to it

as a person who recently finished writing an essay on the topic, no. first of all, the chinese high speed rail network is, as a whole, very slightly profitable, due to popular lines like beijing-shanghai making up for the unpopular ones like lanzhou-urumqui. second of all, it has had an enormous positive ripple effect across the chinese economy: it has reduced housing costs, since people can now live further away from the cities and still go to work there, it has helped smaller cities develop by connecting them with larger ones, it has freed up conventional rail lines for freight trains, ensuring better supply to factories, and it has alleviated china's dependency on imported airplane parts.

A lot of countries have rare earth, even US. The issue is whether they can refine it at a large capacity.

As an American...that works for me, if we gotta lose our top spot, i'd much rather a democracy like India take it than a Communist dictatorship like China.

Nonsense. Li Kequiang admitted in 2020 that 600 million Chinese live on less than $140 a month. China is still a developing country. With its property bubble imploding and the Covid lockdowns, US tariffs, demographics etc. China is in decline economically. It is even making peace overtures towards India in regard to its fake claims to Indian territory after the Ukraine invasion as it realises how it is far more vulnerable to sanctions than Russia. It is pumping billions into CPEC in Pakistan but that is only helping Pakistan towards bankruptcy - such is Chinese global economic power with its debt traps! This video ignored that fact that Vietnam and India are also unfriendly towards China. India is a member of the QUAD and Vietnam welcomed the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt in 2020 as part of the growing anti-China coalition. China's oil supplies and access to the Indian Ocean is easily blockaded at the Malacca Straits. See also the video showing just how hard it is to invade Taiwan - the experts at beach invasions, the USA, decided not to invade 'Formosa' in 1944. China's military prowess is also grossly exaggerated by most. It has no experience of modern naval and aerial warfare. The USAF has the 2nd largest airforce in the world after the USAF and is the only country with nuclear-powered supercarriers - including the new Gerald Ford Class as well as the Nimitz Class.

"Well, y'know, somebody said the same thing about being too interconnected a few years before WWI." Whut who said that? AT the time colonies weren't even allowed to trade between each other, much with other imperial powers, heck, the dominant economic theory at the time was mercantilism.

No the opinion at that time was that the vast web of alliances and interdependecies would make a war inevitable. Just a matter of time. No clue where you heard this.

@@Reluxthelegend That might have been true for the colonies but the colonies were a small part of the western economy. Most trade was between European countries, who had all adopted some form of free market capitalism. This resulted in an amount of interconnectivity in the west that won't be matched till the 1970s.

@@Reluxthelegend what? Mercantilism?! No! Mercantilism stopped beign the main economic model in Europe in the 1700's, the United Kingdom and the British Empire were leading the policy of free market with outside countries, Colonies didn't fall under it because that would be internal trade. Before WW1, the so called Belle Epoque the economies of the European powers were extremely interconnected, for Example all the three main powers, UK, France and Germany had a very strong trade sector, and all of them had very big stacks and investments in the growing economy of the Russian Empire, no mercantilism.

PROPAGANDA.

Yes rare earth is not actually rare it's just very costly on the local environment to refine and the Chinese state massively subsidize it to the point it would not be profitable to refine it outside China.

So the US is just delaying their environmental disaster. eventually they will mine their rare earth and will have to get the dirty process.

Great long term saving. I only hope your country will not stop selling it to India coz we are also helping US by sending lots of scientists and engineers there 👍

@@narzarybipul9305 Well that sounds dumb.

@@alphonsemaina8293 . Ture lol that guy is nuts. China has genetic and national indentity advantage over USA. USA is chaotic racially too.

Assuming the Taiwanese dont manage to destroy the factories before PLA can take them, an even worse scenario.

Crisis, yes, but not likely the foundries would survive the taking in operational condition. Why wouldn't they be sabotaged instead of letting the CCP gain control?

@@FarsightAE Semiconductor manufacturing process is EXTREMELY delicate, a single bomb on one of TSMC's manufacturing/EUV wings and the whole production is crippled.

@@lape2002 the Chinese are experts are analysing broken equipment and putting them back together

@@lape2002 why would they bomb TSMC? Use your brain man lol

Survived? Yes. Thrived? No. And with current Chinese citizen's appetites, who's to say the downturn, coupled with the intermittent lockdowns, wouldn't cause major uprising in China.

the world was also less connected at the time

PROPAGANDA.

@@jonlocke1624 wouldn't that only backfiring everyone? The great chinese migration will happen again just like before.

survived in that there wasn't a coup, but millions of people starved to death.

That is a trash metric to compare strength of economies

@@da_revo5747 Thanks for your comment. How do you think it would be exactly trash?

@@AP-yx1mm for PPP they use a basket of goods that most people use so like, food, average housing, clothes, transportation, medical etc. So using GDP PPP per capita is brilliant for comparing standard of living across countries even though the quality of these things might be different. But it does not take into account anything else, like cost of machines, inputs into companies, cost of access to tech products. So when you are comparing the whole economies of countries you want to count everything including how cheap good technology is in different countries and not just compare adjusting for a small basket of basic goods.

@@AP-yx1mm china produce everything sure them can buy them for way cheaper, you arent get same amount goods with same amount money with chinese people, if them want more gdp then just print more money to appear bigger with devalue their currency like USA is doing. the result you see here is the best the result of any measures already, because this is still a western media rather than chinese media. :)

What’s a nebulite

That’s why Russia is moving to a hybrid gold standard to prop up there currency. In the long run Europe will have to crawl back to Russia for there oil. When Russia does finish taking over most if not all Ukraine. On the bright side the war pigs in Washington will make a nice profit.
