“You don’t love China, you have to be counted.” Lukashenko told what Belarus can learn from China

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the Governor of the Ulyanovsk region Alexei Russky cited China as an example of how important it is to preserve and develop the historical heritage.

According to the head of state, Belarus was able to preserve and increase the entire production potential inherited from the Soviet Union.

We have not lost anything since Soviet times, we have not closed anything, we have not covered anything. On the contrary, they did. And because we stood on the shoulders of giants, as the classic said, it helped preserve what we have today. This is important for any state, the President stressed.

Alexander Lukashenko cited the experience of the People’s Republic of China as the most telling example. He noted that he often discusses this topic with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

And he often tells me that nothing [in China] was denied: neither the Mao Zedong period, nor Deng Xiaoping, nor anyone. They took the best. Take a look at the development of China. It is the leading economy in the world, the leading country with which everyone has to reckon. If you love China, you don’t like the Americans, but you have to be considered, the Belarusian leader said.

Alexander Lukashenko said that states should not reject their past.

“Therefore, we must not reject and reject what has been. We have to try to use and develop it. In this part, we have succeeded in something, the Head of State noted.
