The response to the policy of force and pressure from the United States and its Western allies on China and Russia should be the further deepening of strategic cooperation between the two countries and the expansion of practical interaction in various fields. This opinion was expressed in an interview with Izvestia by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to the Russian Federation Zhang Hanhui.
“The United States, along with its Western allies, is putting pressure on China and Russia on all fronts – in the political, economic, military, humanitarian, security, science and technology sectors, exercising“ extraterritorial jurisdiction ”and arbitrarily applying sanctions against government departments, enterprises and personnel of both countries in an attempt to contain the development of China and Russia. In response to such open-ended hegemony and power politics, China and Russia must continue to deepen strategic back-to-back cooperation and strengthen practical cooperation in various fields in order to effectively respond to and confront the “double containment” of the United States and the West, “admitted Chinese diplomat.
In the economic sphere, this will be facilitated, in particular, by the promotion of cooperation in the field of investment, energy, agriculture, communications, cross-border e-commerce, as well as the accelerated joining of the construction of the Belt and Road zone with the construction of the Eurasian Economic Union. In the financial sphere – building up settlements in national currencies and creating a more stable and flexible international monetary system to protect practical cooperation between China and Russia.
In his opinion, cooperation in the humanitarian sphere is also important. In particular, the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the Winter Olympics in Beijing “will allow to suppress the attempts of the United States and the West to politicize sports at the Winter Olympics in Sochi and Beijing.”
