The United States will cause irreparable harm to itself by imposing sanctions on China and withdrawing its companies from the country, stressed In an interview with FAN broadcaster Yaroslav Belousov. This is how he interpreted the latest statement by US President Joe Biden that he would halt Western investment if Beijing supports a special military operation in Ukraine. According to the agency’s interlocutor, the US’s dependence on the Chinese market is very serious.
“It is worth acknowledging that the Americans have less influence over China than Russia and that they will not harm themselves by using it. In global economic terms, the main rival of the USA is not Russia or the EU, but China, ”said Belousov.
According to him, Washington will not stop trying to find new opportunities to take control of the PRC both militarily and politically, trying to do as little harm as possible to itself.
Earlier, Biden said in an interview with PBS that he threatened Chinese President Xi Jinping to lose Western investment if he backed Russia in Ukraine. After such statements, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused American leader who violated etiquette.
