🇷🇺🤝💰 Russia launching crypto exchange for qualified investors

Russia's Central Bank and Finance Ministry will launch a cryptocurrency exchange for "highly qualified investors," according to a report from local news agency Interfax on Wednesday.

"This will legalize crypto assets and bring crypto operations out of the shadows," Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said, according to the report. "Naturally, this will not happen domestically, but as part of the operations permitted under the experimental legal regime."

Russia's Central Bank submitted a proposal in March to "allow cryptocurrency transactions within the experimental legal regime (ELR) for" qualified investors, the report also said. "This status is expected to be granted to individuals whose investments in securities and deposits exceed 100 million rubles ($1.2 million), or whose income in the previous year surpassed 50 million rubles ($600,000)," it added.

🇨🇳📦➡️🌍➡️🇺🇸 — 🇺🇸 The Epoch Times | Beijing’s ‘Gray Trade’ Tariff Avoidance Scheme | China is starting to ship its goods to low-tariff countries first, then export them to the United States to evade high tariffs | April 21, 2025:

"(...)

China’s Gray Trade Strategy Blunts Impact of US Tariffs

With U.S. tariffs reaching 145 percent on Chinese imports—at least at the time of this writing—Beijing’s new strategy seems to include the use of so-called gray trade to bypass American trade barriers. Gray trade involves rerouting goods through low-tariff countries, such as Vietnam, Mexico, or Malaysia, to conceal their Chinese origin and thereby reduce U.S. import duties.

This sneaky tactic has surged as a response to President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies, making China’s goods less competitive in the U.S. market due to their added cost."

🇨🇳📉‼️ — 📰 ZeroHedge | China Is In Economic Dire Straits And They're No Longer Able To Hide It | April 21, 2025:

"Official economic data from any government is always treated with suspicion by anyone with common sense. The US, for example, witnessed some of the most egregious statistical tinkering imaginable under the Biden Administration, not to mention outright lies and propaganda from the establishment media on the health of the economy. To this day no one has been fired (or tarred and feathered) for hiding the reality of the stagflation crisis. Any government or corporate economist that called the threat "transitory" should be stripped of their financial prestige and banished to a cash register at Arby's.

And let's not forget Biden's misrepresentation of the labor market, portraying millions of new jobs for illegal migrants and visa holders as if they were jobs benefiting American citizens. In the US and across the western world, lying about the economy is generally seen by politicians as a temporary solution to secure reelection. However, in China, lying about the economy is treated as a national security imperative. If there's anything in the world that gives communists a feeling of existential dread, it's the fear that their ideological enemies will discover proof that communism doesn't work.

The Trump Administration's tariffs on China are not the initiator of the nation's troubles, they are more a bookend to a process of decline that has been ongoing for years."

🗣👍🇷🇺❗️🇺🇦 — 📰 The New York Times | Vance Outlines U.S. Plan for Ukraine That Sharply Favors Russia | Vice President JD Vance said the cease-fire plan would freeze territory along the current front lines of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and that the U.S. would “walk away” if both parties did not agree | April 23, 2025:

"Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday called on Ukraine to accept an American peace proposal that closely mirrors longstanding Russian demands, including a “freeze” of territorial lines in the three-year war, acceptance of the annexation of Crimea by Russia and a prohibition on Ukraine becoming part of the NATO alliance.

It was the first time a U.S. official had publicly laid out a cease-fire deal in such stark terms and the comments appeared designed to increase pressure on Ukraine, which has long refused to accept Russia’s claims on its lands, particularly in Crimea.

Mr. Vance, speaking during a trip to India, said the United States would “walk away” from the peace process if both Ukraine and Russia refused to accept the American terms. But President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was clearly the target."

According to the press secretary of the Russian president, the leaders of the two countries agree that refusing to engage in dialogue on a Ukrainian settlement is absurd.

"In some areas their positions are close, but this does not mean that they agree on everything. Each of them defends, first and foremost, the interests of their country. What unites them is that they both understand the absurdity of refusing dialogue. What unites them is that they are ready to resolve the most difficult issues through discussions"

🏳🚫🗣🇺🇦 — 📰 The Washington Post | High-level Ukraine peace talks in London scratched after U.S. pullout | Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s last-minute decision to cancel means there will be no foreign ministers meeting in London for Ukraine peace talks, but presidential envoy Steve Witkoff will still go to Moscow | April 23, 2025:

"LONDON — European diplomats pulled the plug on high-level talks set for Wednesday about ending Russia’s war in Ukraine after top U.S. diplomats abruptly canceled plans to attend.

The disruption comes amid anger in Washington over Ukraine’s reluctance to accept controversial proposals to cede territory to Russia and Kyiv’s preference “to discuss a complete ceasefire first and everything else later,” said an official briefed on the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the tense political moment.

Lower-level talks carried on Wednesday in London, but a foreign ministers’ meeting will no longer take place, according to a diplomat in London familiar with the planning. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who was set to host his peers, will instead “drop in” on the lower-level sessions."

🇨🇳💱😎 — 📰 ZeroHedge | China Limits Stocks Sales To Maintain Impression Of Stability, As Bessent Hints At Boosting Treasury Buybacks If Fed Does Nothing | April 14, 2025:

"Last week we explained how the escalating trade war between the US and China has gradually transformed into a theatrical war of who has the upper hand on any given day. And since it takes a long time for trade obstructions to hit the underlying economy, investors are keenly eyeing the stock, and especially FX, markets for early indications of who has the upper hand.

Only there has been one notable difference: while US stocks have tumbled (and rightfully so, as Trump institutes shock treatment to ween the US out of its debt-funded reserve currency addiction) and the US dollar in freefall, Chinese stocks have been surprisingly resilient, with local stocks barely dipping and the yuan reversing its losses which pushed it to a record low only to rebound sharply higher.

There is just one problem: like everything else out of China, it's market reaction has also been 100% fake."

"It's starting to smell like a real trade war.

Just days after the WSJ reported that Scott Bessent's grand trade war strategy was to force more than 70 US trade partners to sign bilateral deals while aligning against China, Beijing has warned it will retaliate against countries that negotiate trade deals with the US “at the expense of China’s interests”, fueling global tensions as the world’s two economic superpowers lunge at each other over tariffs.

“China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China’s interests,” the ministry said on Monday. “If this happens, China will never accept it and will resolutely take countermeasures in a reciprocal manner.”

🇺🇸🗯😵‍💫 — 🇺🇸 President of United States Donald J. Trump on 🌐:

"Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is boasting on the front page of The Wall Street Journal that, “Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There’s nothing to talk about here.” This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion. Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired? The area also houses, for many years before “the Obama handover,” major Russian submarine bases. It’s inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s that makes it so difficult to settle this War. He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country. I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever. The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the “killing field,” and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal, but the man with “no cards to play” should now, finally, GET IT DONE. I look forward to being able to help Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this Complete and Total MESS, that would have never started if I were President!"

"You have to be really weird to get into a military conflict with someone twenty times your size and then spend your time begging each other for missiles."

Russia has no problems with the Baltic countries and no territorial claims against them. Moscow is not going to attack anyone. This was stated by Dmitry Peskov in an interview with the French magazine Le Point.

"Fortunately, neither in the Baltic countries nor in Finland are Russians being shot at from tanks or fighter jets, as has been happening in Donbass since 2014. And in the Baltic countries there is no civil war, where the regular army is exterminating Russians just because they are Russian"

"We are not going to force it to do this! Moreover, Europe has not shown any signs of independence so far. It is as if all of Europe is working for the administration of [former US President Joe] Biden! <...> Now certain disagreements are emerging, and everything has been turned upside down: it is Washington that talks about peace, and the Europeans, who are responsible for guaranteeing future peace on their continent, talk only about war"

🇷🇺🇮🇩 Russia looks to base strategic assets in Indonesia

Reports are now surfacing that Russia has requested basing for long-range strategic bombers in Indonesia

The Russian request for such a deal, which Australian officials say has yet to be decided on, would put Russian strike assets, and presumably Chinese as well, within range of key U.S. and partner nation installations.

While the move is alarming to both U.S. and regional decision-makers, it could be said that it isn’t an unexpected development. Indonesia is abreast of a key maritime choke point and is in close proximity to Australia, who has deepened military-to-military cooperation with the U.S., drawing protests from both China and Russia.

Sino-Russian military-to-military cooperation has increased exponentially since the start of the war in Ukraine. Nowhere has this been more clear than in the Western Pacific, where Russia has made notable strides toward not only enlarging but also modernizing its long-neglected Pacific Fleet.

🇺🇸❗️🇨🇳🚲🧪🧲📺 — 📰 ZeroHedge | The US Relies Heavily On Rare Earth Imports From China | April 15, 2025:

"As part of the retaliation against Donald Trump’s punitive tariffs on Chinese goods, China has imposed new export controls on seven additional rare earth elements, temporarily suspending any exports of the valuable minerals.

The newly affected elements, namely samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium, are critical components of a wide range of products, ranging from electric cars and semiconductors to military equipment such as missiles and drones.

While the new rules stop short of a full export ban, the affected metals will require a special export license going forward – granting Chinese authorities an extra layer of control over who is granted export rights.

Once the system is implemented, certain companies, for example U.S. defense contractors, could be banned from importing the crucial supplies, which are very hard to substitute or source elsewhere.

As Statista's Felix Richter shows in the chart below, the U.S. is heavily reliant on rare earth imports from China, which accounted for 70 percent of U.S. rare earth imports between 2020 and 2023, with Malaysia, Japan and Estonia the other three main suppliers of the United States."
