Oh great. Let’s repeat the Russian dependence problem, but with an eastern flavor.
Translated: “We should only trade with other white nations”.
Countries don’t have friends, they have interests. Trade with those who have similar interests.
White supremacism? Makes sense.

Trade divergence is costly. Firms and people tend to like paying less for goods when they’ve derived from the most efficient trade options than to pay more for goods because of political reasons. Especially if those political reasons are mostly associated with the geopolitical interests of the elite and not their own interests.
Trade has a funny way of overcoming political nonsense.
