WASHINGTON Nike Air VaporMax Plus Grey Womens , March 14 (Xinhua) -- The majority of Americans believe that the nation's economic system is tilted toward the powerful interests and policies implemented since the start of the recession favor the wealthy instead of the middle class and the poor, a nationwide survey said recently.


According to the survey by the Pew Research Center, 62 percent of Americans say the current U.S. economic system unfairly favors powerful interests, while only 33 percent believe the system is fair to most Americans.


Fully 72 percent of Americans across all demographic groups say government policies since the start of the recession have helped large banks and financial institutions at least a fair amount, while the percentage for small businesses is only 29 percent. Two- thirds also say large companies have been benefited.


In general, 72 percent say the policies implemented after the 2008 recession have done little or nothing to help middle class people Nike Air VaporMax Plus Black Womens , and 65 percent say little or no help has been offered to the poor.


The survey, conducted between Feb. 18-22 among 1,504 adults, also found out that most Americans continue to think that the country's economic system is still vulnerable to the type of economic crisis that devastated U.S. economy in 2008.

MOSCOW, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Roughly three months ahead of a BRICS summit to be held in China, Russian analysts saw immense potential to increase and diversify economic cooperation between Russia and China.


Vast opportunities can be created during the development of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and the process of Russia's import substitution industrialization Nike Air VaporMax Plus Burgundy Womens , experts said, adding that closer economic ties between the two strategic partners will be mutually beneficial.


They also believe China-Russia trade should be expanded to more non-energy sectors so that bilateral economic cooperation can develop in a sustainable way.


These remarks were made at a time when BRICS countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- are busy preparing for the ninth summit of the bloc's leaders on Sept. 3-5 in Xiamen City in east China's Fujian Province.


INFRASTRUCTURE, INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT


The development of transport facilities is one of the key problems Russia faces Nike Air VaporMax Plus Blue Womens , given its vast territory and low quality of roads and railways.


"Chinese investment and joint projects will play a major role in the vast areas of Siberia and the Far East, as well as in other parts of Russia," said Sergei Luzyanin, director of the Far Eastern Studies Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.


Luzyanin pinned high hopes on the Belt and Road Initiative, which can "greatly stimulate the development of infrastructure."


To finance infrastructure construction, the BRICS New Development Bank should play a bigger role Nike Air VaporMax Plus White Womens , said Yaroslav Lissovolik, chief economist of the Eurasian Development Bank.


Russia responded to Western sanctions following its annexation of Crimea in 2014 with a so-called "import substitution" policy in various sectors in a bid to boost domestic industrial production.


The process of import substitution industrialization creates opportunities for Chinese direct investment in Russia, said Vitaly Monkevich, president of the Russian-Asian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RAUIE).


"This is beneficial for both sides as Chinese businesses will achieve a higher profit rate and the ability to sell products to China, and Russia will get investment and new jobs," said Monkevich.


According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sunset Womens , Chinese companies invested more than 100 million U.S. dollars in Russia between January and April this year.


"We see a serious interest in Russia-China cooperation from business circles of both countries," said Monkevich.


NON-ENERGY SECTOR PARTNERSHIP


Trade between China and Russia jumped 26.2 percent year on year to 24.7 billion dollars in the first four months of 2017, according to China's General Administration of Customs.


In addition to oil and gas, Russian analysts saw the possibility of expanding bilateral trade to more areas.


"RAUIE members often turn to us with requests for export of sunflower oil, honey, ice cream Nike VaporMax Plus Bleached Aqua Womens , confectionery and alcohol ... We see a great potential for the development of exports other than raw materials," said Monkevich.


As for space cooperation between Russia and China, Luzyanin expects joint manned space stations and joint space missions in the future.


Furthermore, Luzyanin and Lissovolik, who are also members of the Russian think tank Valdai Discussion Club, suggested Chinese and Russian programmers cooperate in ensuring cybersecurity and developing Internet-based business.


"All this together creates a new quality for the growth of Russia-China cooperation. We can deal with oil and gas and talk about diversifying cooperation at the same time www.vapormaxpluswomens.com ," said Luzyanin.


On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that both countries should maintain the development of pragmatic cooperation.


Wang echoed Putin's appeal, saying that Russia and China should further deepen cooperation in such fields as trade and investment and explore new sources of economic growth.
