what systems china ,russia,cuba have
Answers
The relationships between these countries are based on convenience, internal populism, trade in oil and arms, certain geostrategic considerations, and political brinkmanship. The countries are way too different in size, history, culture and needs to have deeply shared goals, while their trade with each other is (in most cases) too small to have serious political implications. Russia and Turkey are important to each other as trade partners, China buys a lot of oil from Iran (and some from Russia), Russia is hoping (so far, in vain) to increase trade with China, and Iran depends on Russia and China in its political standoff with most other countries (including the West and much of the Middle East). Turkey and Russia, as well as China and Russia, are important to each other as geostrategic players — Turkey singlehandedly controls Russia's naval access to the Mediterranean, while China is important to Russia's naval access to the Pacific. Of course, Turkey is a NATO member, so shares military goals with other NATO countries and not Russia. Turkey also is hoping to join the EU some day. However, Turkey has recently embarked on a course of political brinkmanship where it is hoping to extract concessions from EU/NATO countries by threatening to get closer to Russia. Venezuela’s economy is falling apart, so it is focused on survival and its foreign influence is near zero. China and Russia are buying rights to its oil fields (Venezuela's oil reserves are the largest of all countries, whereas Russia will soon begin exhausting its “easy” oil fields). One thing all six countries have in common is very significant trade with the EU, which is the top trading partner of Russia, Turkey and Cuba, and is in top four for China and Venezuela. Another commonality — aside from Turkey, these countries have no access to Western military technology, so Russia sees an opportunity. Even Turkey (a NATO member) was recently denied Western air-defense systems, so went for Russian S-400 systems.
Aside from Cuba and Venezuela, the six countries share no common language. Their systems of government and traditions are also diffefent. Russia, China and Turkey have very strong militaries and a history of fighting each other (except for Turkey and China). Cuba and Venezuela have very limited military ambitions, while Iran is an aggressive regional power limited by its economy and access to technology. Iran and Russia share common goals in Syria. Turkey seems to be playing along with them recently (trying to avoid problems near its border). In contrast, China, Cuba and Venezuela don't seem nearly as vested in Syria.
China's economy is many times larger than the economies of the other five countries combined, and is growing faster. None of the five countries are in top 10 trade partners of China. China still depends on several technologies from Russia (such as airplane engines), but is gradually becoming self-sufficient. Cuba is way too small economically to make significant difference, and is geographically very far from other countries listed. Venezuela is even further. Turkey is difficult to reach from China, and most of Russia's population is 5-8 timezones away from China.
China, Turkey and Cuba import a lot of oil, while Russia, Iran and Venezuela are major oil exporters. Importers want low oil prices, exporters want high oil ptices. Importers want stability in the Middle East, while exporters benefit from chaos (as long as it does not threaten their own exports).
China's top trade partners are the US, the EU and Japan, and China's econimic growth depends on this trade. China's foreign policy has traditionally been timid, and economic growth was considered most important. In contrast, Russia sacrificed foreign trade and its economic growth for political goals of questionable long-term value. While Russia and China have shown expansionist goals, Turkey has shown none. Iran has expanded its influence in Iraq and Syria, but does not seem to want territorial expansion, foreign military bases, etc. Cuba is interested in improving economic relations with the US, while Russia is apparently trying to prevent this thaw. China doesn't care.
In summary, these six countries have more differences than commonalities. Their leaders cooperate on particular issues as convenient, but this is a far cry from working on common long-term goals.
