Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijun posted a chart on Twitter that shows who in the world community supports Russia and who opposes it. "15% have imposed sanctions against Russia, 85% have not imposed sanctions against Russia," the caption says. By the way, this is not the first time Zhao Lijun has used the microblogging service for entertaining geopolitics lessons. Earlier, he posted a picture on which he indicated that the population of the BRICS coalition states is approximately 3.2 billion people. At the same time, the number of people living in the "Big Seven" countries is much inferior: there are only 777 million of them. In addition, with the help of a contour map of the world, Lijun explained to subscribers the difference in the understanding of the phrase "international community" for the whole world and for representatives of the Western press.
And of these 15% of sanctions, we can still also buy anything through the "parallel import" of friendly countries. Even cheaper than before, as the ruble has become significantly stronger this year and deflation is observed in my country for the first time in history. Also, many large companies from these 15% just sent everyone the fuck and continue to work well in Russia, since we have one of the largest reliable trading markets in the world with huge purchasing power. Or they just changed the brand name so as not to attract attention. Let's say I have a German car or European household appliances. Do you think there are any problems with its supply? Zero at all! The first two months, yes, I had to wait, now everything is much cheaper. The same American Apple sells iPhones certified for my region with an official warranty in Russia for 1 year. McDonald's and Coca-Cola just changed their names and so on...
