Igor Ossipov: "The awakening of this old sleeping giant, or more - TopicsExpress



          

Igor Ossipov: "The awakening of this old sleeping giant, or more accurately its re-awakening, has led much ink to be spilled and many keys to be worn-down. For many, this phenomenon was of great interest naturally due to China’s huge size and its equally large potential, especially in contrast to the economically and politically stagnating West. However, for Russia, this re-emergence plays an exceptional role which stirs much uncertainty and mistrust, as once this giant wipes of the rheum around its eyes and springs back full of energy, its only natural room to manoeuvre is northwards. Even if the world does not tremble, Russia fears that at the least, Eurasia will shake. As promised, this is the second post in this special series and once again I am joined by the Head of Oil and Gas at the Energy Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Tatiana Mitrova. We discuss: Sinicisation, geopolitical mistrust, energy deals, the Central Asian "Ace" and more! Please, feel free to comment & enjoy!"
