Today, a meeting took place in St. Petersburg. Putin was there, with Russian billionaires, Chinese businessmen, & Indonesia’s President Prabowo.
The spotlight was on a new deal between Russia and Indonesia covering military cooperation, security, trade, and nuclear development. Indonesia is part of BRICS. It has a population of 300 million, making it the third-largest in Asia. Its PPP is around $5 trillion, it's the largest economy in Southeast Asia, and its tech sector is the fastest-growing in the world.
And guess who else showed up? Delegates and representatives from Donetsk and Luhansk.
The Chinese signed a rare earth minerals agreement with delegates from Donbass. This region contains 85% of "Ukraine’s" rare earth mineral reserves. Except it's no longer Ukraine! It's now apart of the Russian Federation, along with Crimea, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. These regions will never return to Ukraine, FORGET ABOUT IT!
This deal is huge for China. These resources are critical for high-tech manufacturing, everything from semiconductors to electric vehicles to military hardware. China has positioned itself to further dominate global supply chains in key industries. Expect to see Chinese operations and infrastructure expanding in the region very soon.
