Yellen Threatens China at Neocon-Infested Atlantic Council (S. Lendman)
On Wednesday, Biden regime Treasury secretary Janet Yellen called for pushing Russia toward greater “economic, financial, and strategic isolation” than what’s already been attempted — in vain.
She said China could face significant economic blowback unless it pressures Russian to end its special military operation in Ukraine, adding:
💬 “The world’s attitude towards China and its willingness to embrace further economic integration may well be affected by (its) reaction to our call for resolute action on Russia.” “Going forward, it will be increasingly difficult to separate economic issues from broader considerations of national interest, including national security.”
In response to her threat, spokesman for China’s US embassy, Liu Pengyu, said the following:
💬 Beijing is “committed to promoting peace talks” while hegemon USA and its NATO vassal states support forever war. They’re “adding fuel to the flame to create new problems while associating the Ukraine crisis with China-Russia relations to shed the responsibility and to exploit the situation for their hidden strategic agenda.”
Response to Yellen’s “blatant threat to China” over Ukraine | Anti-Bellum | Yellen’s remarks are aimed at dragging China into the chaos and smearing China at the same time, to create the impression that China is not a responsible power. However, this is of little substance, said Li Haidong, a professor at the China Foreign Affairs University. “The measures the US can take against China have already been in use for years. Washington had engaged in various sanctions since it launched the trade war with China, which turned out to be ineffective. It is just trying to use the Ukraine crisis to blackmail China more comprehensively,” Li told the Global Times.
