Although Russia currently has some favorable conditions in alleviating the economic crisis. But the challenges it faces are still quite severe.

In the early 1990s, shortly after Russia's economic reforms, there was a large-scale capital flight. As the economic depression continued, the capital flight continued to deepen. According to the International Balance of Payments prepared by the Bank of Russia and estimates by some experts, Russia's annual capital flight has been about 17 billion U.S. dollars since 1994. So far, about 180 billion to 210 billion U.S. dollars have flowed abroad.

The large-scale capital flight has caused the loss of a large amount of Russian investment funds, and the debt risk has continued to increase, causing the Russian economy to stagnate and lack vitality. At present, the most important thing for the Russian government is to speed up the development of the economy, create a good domestic investment environment, and take corresponding measures to strengthen the control of Russia's foreign trade, and strengthen the legislative work on capital flows to eliminate illegal capital flight.

However, Russia appears to be relatively weak in attracting foreign investment. Judging from the current situation of attracting foreign investment, it lags far behind Western countries and many developing countries, and is not as good as Eastern Europe and some CIS countries.

In the past nine years, Russia has introduced a total of 23 billion U.S. dollars in foreign investment, of which direct investment is less than 10 billion U.S. dollars. Affected by the Southeast Asian financial crisis last year, the total amount of foreign investment in Russia fell, and direct investment fell by 40%. Therefore, in the period of economic transition, in order to get rid of economic difficulties and develop the economy. The Russian government needs to effectively attract and use foreign capital. First, it must ensure the stability of Russia’s internal affairs and good social security. On the other hand, it must also improve laws and regulations, maintain policy continuity, protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors, and effectively improve the domestic investment environment. .

At present, Russia’s sales of fuel and raw material products provide the country with the funds needed to carry out reforms and repay foreign compensation, but at the same time make Russia’s export structure more fragile. Although the Russian government has made some efforts in improving the structure of foreign trade imports and exports, encouraging and stimulating the export of manufactured products and high-tech products, the results have been minimal. In order to improve export efficiency, Russia has begun to reform its oil companies, but the reform requires time and funds, which is another severe test for Russia's foreign trade situation.

In fact, the poor performance of the Russian economy is not only due to macroeconomic factors such as high inflation and floating exchange rates, but more importantly, the government’s intervention in the microeconomics, such as subsidies and tax exemptions, which put the government on a heavy burden, excessive government spending and The deficit caused the financial crisis.

In the steel industry in Russia, the industry most affected by government intervention, labor productivity is only one-tenth of that of the US Steel Corporation, while the Russian food service and software industries without government intervention have higher efficiency.

Although only 6,000 people in Russia are engaged in software development, the productivity is about 70% of that of the United States. This also shows that the government's over-predictability of the micro-economy will often undermine the best macro-economic policies.

Under such circumstances, Yeltsin was also very unsatisfactory.

Fan Wubing From a medical point of view, Yeltsin can be said to be a typical example of coronary heart disease. He has almost all risk factors: high-fat diet, smoking and drinking, emotional agitation, and severe obesity.

Yeltsin himself admitted that he had undergone five heart attacks and one heart surgery during his presidency.

In fact, as early as twelve years ago. Yeltsin was diagnosed with coronary heart disease, but it did not attract his attention. Not only did he fail to conduct standardized treatment, but he still maintained his original lifestyle, continued to enjoy his favorite Russian diet, and swallowed clouds without leaving his hands. Spit the fog, while savoring strong vodka.

By the year before last, Yeltsin’s coronary heart disease had reached a very serious level. The three coronary arteries had diffuse and severe lesions, combined with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. At this time, his condition was no longer suitable for medical stent implantation. For surgery, only surgical coronary artery bypass grafting was used. At that time, the operation lasted for more than seven hours and a total of four vascular bridges were built.

For coronary heart disease, the most emphasis is on early prevention and treatment, secondary prevention, and attention to adjustments in lifestyle. However, with a long medical history, with diffuse disease of multiple vessels like Yeltsin and combined with cardiac insufficiency, the chance of sudden cardiac death is more than 90%. Any disturbance, such as a cold, emotional excitement, and a little fatigue, will become the fuse of sudden death.

Fan Wubing can say without hesitation that Yeltsin's condition has spread to such an extent that sudden death is an inevitable result. Good medical conditions in Russia can only delay the progression of the disease, but cannot prevent the tragedy from happening.

The Russian diet can be called the "coronary heart disease diet." Butter, sausage, and bread are the daily diets of the Russian people, and they are also typical high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie foods. As the President of Russia, Yeltsin is of course eating with the people. He often eats such three-high foods, which planted the bane of diet for coronary heart disease.

Among the obese people, the most dangerous are those with abdominal obesity, also known as those with an apple-shaped body. The fat cells of these people accumulate around the main organs in the abdominal cavity, which affect the metabolism of blood sugar and easily cause abnormalities in blood lipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides. The pot belly Yeltsin unfortunately has this very important risk factor.

Personality determines fate, and no one can help if the temper comes up. As everyone knows, Yeltsin, the first popularly elected president of Russia, was never easy-going. He was an affectionate person. He did what he wanted and never listened to other people's advice.

Yeltsin is a typical type A person. The characteristics of this type of person are quick-tempered, aggressive, fast-paced, high-efficiency, lofty ambitions, strong desire for dominance, and good competition. People with type A personality are at high risk of coronary heart disease. On the basis of this character, Yeltsin often bears great pressure.

Yeltsin was born in a peasant family, poor family background and hard childhood life, cultivated his stubborn and combative character, this character has accompanied him almost all of his political career. During the presidency, his violent temper caused him to change government as natural as changing his shirt.

When a person is emotionally excited and stressed, it will cause sympathetic nerve excitement, increase the secretion of catecholamines in the body, and act on the blood vessels, which will cause vasoconstriction and increase the heart rate. It strengthens myocardial contractility, increases myocardial oxygen consumption, and increases heart load, leading to angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction. If the long-term tremendous pressure makes Yeltsin plant a bomb in his heart, then the violent temper is the fuse of this bomb, which may detonate at any time.

Yeltsin is also a person who loves smoking and drinking. He is the most loyal customer of Russian vodka and often uses alcohol to relieve work pressure. Every day at 11 o'clock in the morning, Yeltsin would start drinking glass after glass, even until dinner time. He was so drunk at the White House farewell banquet that he delayed the scheduled talks with the then Prime Minister of Ireland. .

The relationship between smoking and coronary heart disease is also clear. The harmful components such as coal tar and nicotine in cigarettes can damage vascular endothelial cells, cause plaque formation or aggravate the original plaque; cause vasospasm, and further aggravate vascular stenosis. Yeltsin is under the influence of the two major killers of tobacco and alcohol, making coronary heart disease more serious.

Fan Wubing checked Yeltsin very seriously when meeting with Yeltsin, and then had to shake his head and said, "Mr. President, with all due respect, if you don’t change your course, it will be difficult for you to live for ten years. Time, your current health can be said to be a mess, it can't be worse!"

The difference in Yeltsin's body. It’s almost as good as the levee in Jiangnan Province that was riddled with holes at the time. Any larger wave rushes over and can break this levee. When Fan Wubing used his true energy to check Yeltsin just now, he felt that I used a little bit more infuriating energy to burst his meridians. It was almost as cautiously as he walked on thin ice. After the examination, he broke out a lot of cold sweat on his head.

Even if it used to check the critically ill patients who were endangered in the past, Fan Wuyi did not feel as troublesome as it is today.

Yeltsin knew his condition very well a long time ago, after listening to Fan Wuyi's words. He smiled and said, "It's already like this anyway, it's resigned to fate, eat if you should eat, drink if you drink, people will die, and they will not die for thousands of years."

Fan Heng came with Fan Wubing. He had studied Russian, and when he was in the Pingyuan Factory, the technical materials he contacted were basically in Russian, and the experts he contacted were all Russians. Therefore, there was no obstacle in communicating with Yeltsin, and the translation was directly bypassed.

"My son has a good understanding of critically ill patients, so let him prescribe some prescriptions or treat you." Fan Heng said to Yeltsin.

"For someone like me, there is probably no need for medical treatment anymore." Yeltsin didn't have any expectations for Fan Wuyi, shook his head and replied.

Fan Wubing slapped his head, and said to his heart that now that Yeltsin has rejected his treatment so simply, it may not be that he does not have the ability to heal him, but that he is already arranging the future affairs in Russia and is preparing to bring Putin to the front desk. NS.

Yeltsin came to China recently, in fact, for two major events. One is to pave the way for Putin to take power, and the other is to discuss the Kosovo war initiated by the United States and the European Union.

The most eye-catching issue in politics this year is the issue of national independence. Kosovo in Yugoslavia, Chechnya in Russia, and East Timor in Indonesia have all ignited the fire of national independence, but the final result is completely different in three endings. The first is the success of national independence under the armed interference of foreign military forces, which is the model of Kosovo in Yugoslavia; the second is the success of national independence by peaceful means of referendum, and the independence of East Timor in Indonesia is this model; The third is the failure of independence under the military suppression of the suzerain government, which is the model of Chechnya in Russia.

If the small and weak people want to be independent from their suzerain, the prerequisite is to obtain strong international support. If you can get the full support of major powers or even force intervention, the possibility of independence is very high. This NATO armed intervention enabled Kosovo to gain independence, which greatly encouraged other peoples or regions that wanted independence. Since the United States can use force to support Kosovo’s independence, can it also use force to support our independence?

Indonesia’s East Timor, inspired by NATO’s intervention in Kosovo, has launched a surging independence movement. Under the strong pressure of the United States and other countries, the Habibi government in Indonesia had to agree to a referendum on the independence issue by East Timor and allow the United Nations troops led by Australia to station in East Timor to maintain law and order.

This NATO dispatch of troops to Kosovo created a precedent for foreign military forces to support the national independence movement. The domestic government will naturally worry that when separatist movements occur in some areas, some countries such as the United States will also send troops to intervene or support it by force. Therefore, it is reasonable for the domestic government to vigorously oppose NATO and the United States' interference in Kosovo’s independence issue.

Of course, it is not only China that opposes the United States and NATO. Countries such as Russia and India that have issues of national independence and regional divisions are worried that large congresses like the United States will convene some countries to intervene in their own internal ethnic issues. Of armed interference.

This time, Russian President Yeltsin dragged his sick body to visit China~www.wuxiamtl.com~ China expressed support for Russia's suppression of Chechen independence, and it also reflected the stance of China and Russia on the issue of opposing separatist forces.

The bombing of the embassy was, of course, a simple bombing accident. Even if the inside story is not mentioned, the possibility of accidentally bombing an obvious target such as the embassy with US high-tech weapons is unlikely. Although the bombing of the Chinese embassy may not have been directly planned by Clinton and other high-level government officials, it is likely that some officials in the US military wanted to bomb the Chinese embassy to give anti-American China a color, and use this to warn Russia, India, etc. When China is anti-American, it has to converge.

Lee Teng-hui's throwing out the two-state theory when Sino-US relations were at the lowest point was also a strategy of throwing stones at him. He wanted to find out how much support the Americans can give to Taiwan.

Now that the U.S. is so powerful and engulfed in the European Union, it is so aggressive that even Russia feels lonely. Therefore, Yeltsin had to come to China with a sick body and once again set up the Sino-Russian alliance to deal with the pressure from the United States. Naturally, he can’t now. Mention the term alliance again, because it sounds uncomfortable to Americans, so I will put it another way and call it a strategic partnership.

The two big countries, both of which have ethnic problems, finally joined hands again in response to the tremendous pressure from the United States.
