China Fills Void as Foreign Brands Flee Russian Market During War​

• Chinese vehicles were 81% of new car imports last quarter
• War in Ukraine has accelerated Russia’s tilt toward Asia

Chinese cars, televisions and smartphones are replacing German and South Korean imports in Russia as its market is reshaped by sanctions and an exodus of brands in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Apart from Chinese cars, there is nothing out there at all,” said Vladimir, a metals industry executive who bought a new Chery Automobile Co. Tiggo SUV in Moscow this month. He declined to give his last name.

“Still, there’s a decent amount of choice and, surprisingly, the cars are very good,” he said.

Last quarter, 81% of new car imports were Chinese, compared with 28% in the first quarter, according to Avtostat data.

Xiaomi Corp. was Russia’s best-selling smartphone maker in the second quarter, dethroning Samsung, and three of the top five brands were Chinese, according to Mobile TeleSystems PJSC, the country’s biggest mobile operator.

Demand for Chinese television sets nearly doubled after the invasion as Japanese and Korean companies stopped shipments, Izvestia newspaper reported last month, citing online retailers.

Colour revolution has been attempted on Solomon, the recent riot was instigated by Taiwan/USA. So it isn't Solomon doing something bold now but a necessary response.

Once again remind us the saying in the west at beginning of every west initiated confrontation, "You need me, you love me, you can't live without me". And the ending is always "nobody need you, the sun still rise and set without you."

So the rumors were true. As I said before expect all the Taiwanese and Japanese and even American companies to all cry out and saying they want equal treatment.

So Biden is handing over Chinese market to South Korea by killing American business. 拜振华 is doing his job.

Russia cuts off gas supply to French energy giant​

Gazprom has announced it will halt supplies to Engie following the French company’s failure to pay for gas deliveries in July​

Russian state energy giant Gazprom has said it has cut off gas supplies to France’s utilities company Engie. The French side has failed to pay for the gas deliveries in July in full, the Russian company added.

Earlier on Tuesday, Engie said that Gazprom informed it “of a reduction in gas deliveries” and cited “a disagreement between the parties on the application of some contracts,” according to Bloomberg. It did not provide any details about the nature of the disagreements and did not specify the level of delivery reductions.
