Ukraine is the "granary" of Europe, with the largest black soil in the world (accounting for 40% of the world's "black soil belt"). Moreover, Ukraine has more than 70 kinds of mineral resources. The proven reserves of Donbass Coalfield alone are 42 billion tons, and the reserves of Krivorog Iron Mine are about 26 billion tons. As we all know, coal and iron ore resources are the source of industrial strength. Ukraine's resource reserves are sufficient to support Ukraine's industrial system. For an industrialized country with a population of only 50 million, Ukraine's rich natural resources are an advantage that other industrialized countries do not have.
In addition to these enviable natural resources with rich varieties and huge reserves, Ukraine also has a complete industrial system. Ukraine was once the center of heavy industry and military industry in the former Soviet Union. In addition, Ukraine is the science, technology, culture and education center of the former Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's scientific and technological talents account for a quarter of the world, and Ukraine's scientific and technological talents account for a quarter of the Soviet Union. Ukraine's aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding and new material science are outstanding in the world, and practical inventions and patents also account for 40% of the Soviet Union.
Education in Ukraine is very developed. For example, Kiev University, one of the top ten universities in Europe and the top 20 universities in the world; Kiev Institute of Technology (now renamed Ukrainian National University of Science and Technology) is unique in disciplines such as chemical engineering and new materials. There are Vinica Medical University and Kiev Medical University, which are called the cradle of international doctors. There is Kiev International Civil Aviation University, the top three aviation universities in the world, which has received students from more than 0/00 countries in the world. Kharkov University, founded in 1805, is not only the earliest second university in the former Soviet Union (the first university is Moscow University), but almost all professors in the physics department of Moscow University in Russia come from this school until today. There are also the world-famous Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music, Kiev Conservatory of Music and so on.
Then, as an industrialized country with such rich resources, complete industrial system and developed education system, how can Ukraine fall into the list of failed countries? Sonecon, Robert, chairman of LLC? Shapiro introduced Ukraine's economic situation like this: "Ukraine is economically equivalent to a failed country. 199 1 after independence, the country quickly liberalized its economy, but soon gave up reform and adopted the state oligarchy model, which was also very popular in Russia at that time. After about 20 years, Ukraine's GDP has shrunk by 30%, and even the poor Russian economy has increased by 20% compared with 199 1. At the same time, the Polish economy similar to Ukraine 199 1 grew by 130% in the same period. Today, Ukrainian government bonds have been regarded as junk bonds. Even before the crisis, Ukraine's credit rating was lower than Greece's and not much better than Argentina's. Due to improper management, Argentina defaulted on its debt, and foreign-funded enterprises were confiscated, becoming global financial orphans. More than 654.38+05 billion U.S. dollars of Ukrainian national debt will expire this year, and another 654.38+05 billion U.S. dollars will expire in 2065.438+05. At present, Ukraine's current account deficit is equivalent to 8% of GDP. Without huge aid-20 billion to 25 billion dollars-or without joining a larger trading system, Ukraine cannot raise funds to repay its debts. "
One of the revelations of the Ukrainian crisis to China is that economic liberalization may not bring great wealth to people. On the contrary, in addition to creating a number of economic oligarchs, it may also bring huge burdens to people. For a long time after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine and Russia did the same. Compared with China, China's per capita natural resources are not as good as Ukraine's, and Ukraine's industrial system and talent education and training system still have a unique side. After the economic liberalization, the country collapsed so much that it had to be vigilant enough. I think that in China, there are loud voices advocating economic liberalization, and the voices of dismembering state-owned enterprises have never stopped, but the Ukrainian case is enough to warn China.
Ukraine has 130 ethnic minorities. Among them, Ukrainians account for 77.8%, Russians account for 17.3%, and other ethnic minorities account for 4.9%. In the Crimean peninsula that triggered the Ukrainian crisis, 58% were Russians, 35% were Ukrainians, and the original inhabitants of Crimea 12%. It can be seen from the above data that although Russians are the majority in Crimea, they account for 83. 1% of the total population of Crimea, and 96.77% of the voters agree with Crimea's "return to Russia", which far exceeds the proportion of Russians in Crimea's population technology. Such data can not help but truly reflect the pessimism of the Crimean people towards Ukraine. Some people think that the widespread corruption in Ukraine has caused the Crimean people to "centrifugal leave Germany" to Ukraine. Of course, this is an important factor, but it is not only completely in line with the facts, but also a matter of personal recognition.
The Second Enlightenment of Ukrainian Crisis to China. Corruption not only damaged the foundation of the ruling party, corroded people's sense of national identity, but also made people "incompatible with morality" in times of national crisis, as did China in the late Qing Dynasty. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian crisis is China's third inspiration. The unified view of cultural history is based on the knowledge of civilization, which is not only the assimilation of language, but also the strength of civilization. For example, the Crimean people's choice lies in the weakness of Ulan civilization and the strength of Russian civilization, which is the conquest of weak civilization by powerful civilization. For a multi-ethnic country like China, it is extremely necessary to establish a knowledge base of Chinese civilization, popularize Chinese culture in minority areas and share more fruits of economic development in minority areas.
When Kiev caught fire, no one would think it was a victory for democracy. Although the western democratic operation system has been introduced into Ukraine's political system since the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Ukraine's independence, in the 20 years after 199 1 Ukraine's independence, Ukraine's GDP has shrunk by 30%, which is the only failure case among all industrialized countries. At the same time, Ukraine also has many political "movements". From Janas to Tymoshenko, Ukrainian politics has been in turmoil. In the case of political turmoil, corruption is almost a common behavior, which may also be the reason for Ukraine's economic decline, although the liberalized economy is the main reason for Ukraine's economic collapse. Democracy has not brought good news to Ukrainians, but has become a huge burden for Ukrainians, which can be seen from Ukraine's poor economic data. At the same time, the democratic system not only triggered political turmoil and poor economic data in Ukraine, but also weakened rather than strengthened people's national identity in Ukraine, which deserves China's vigilance and reflection.
The Fourth Enlightenment of Ukrainian Crisis to China. That is to say, for a multi-ethnic giant like China, the knowledge of Chinese civilization has not been fully recognized by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and some ethnic minorities, and the so-called democratic system is likely to corrode China's ethnic matrix. After all, there are voices of "independence" in some rugged places in China. This has to arouse China's vigilance and reflection. After all, the "referendum" of Crimea's "secession" from Ukraine is obviously in line with the democratic process of "national self-determination".
Ukraine is one of the four nuclear-armed countries in the former Soviet Union. The other three countries are Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. At the beginning of independence, these four countries were prepared to continue to deploy nuclear weapons in their own countries to maintain their nuclear deterrent capability. Among them, Ukraine inherited 130 SS- 19 and 46 SS-24 missiles from the strategic arsenal of the former Soviet Union, and there are about 170 nuclear bomb silos in its territory, making it the third largest nuclear reserve country in the world. However, under the pressure of the United States and other western countries,1On May 23, 1992, the foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus signed a protocol with the US Secretary of State in Lisbon, Portugal, and all the nuclear weapons of Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus will be destroyed within seven years. By 200 1, Ukraine officially became a nuclear-free country, including the United States, Britain, Russia and other countries promised to give Ukraine nuclear protection for national integrity, but obviously this did not prevent the "separation" of the former Crimea region of Ukraine. Of course, for Ukraine, it is helpless to give up nuclear weapons at this time. As Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister alexeyevich said, "Ukraine does not develop nuclear weapons (90% of nuclear weapons researchers are Russians), and Ukraine's economy and technology cannot meet the demand."
Enlightenment of Ukrainian Crisis to China (V). Nuclear weapons are an unshakable strategic pillar to maintain the status of a big country and a strategic sword to safeguard China's territorial security, although a few voices advocate that China should "abandon its nuclear weapons".
For China, the Ukrainian crisis has inspired China in many ways, but there is no doubt that economic development mode, adherence to political system, civilization construction, national identity and nuclear weapons policy are the most noteworthy aspects.
