“NATO Should Not Extend Its Hand to Our Common Homeland” China Hosts Russia’s Lavrov After US Threat

35

Russia and China presented a defiant front after the US threatened Beijing with sanctions over aiding Moscow’s war in Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi and President Xi Jinping as both sides pledged to work on “double counteracting” the Euro-Atlantic alliance led by the US. Lavrov and his Chinese diplomatic said Moscow and Beijing both agreed that any meeting on Ukraine ignoring Russia’s interests is futile. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who wrapped up her second visit to Beijing since July 2023, warned that Washington will sanction Chinese banks and companies, as well as the country’s leadership, if they aid Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.

  1. Lavrov is THE master diplomat. He sticks to rules of diplomacy but also has a great, ironic, sense of humour. This is almost British in one way and Chinese in another. Russian irony itself is found throughout its literature and arts.
    Ms Yellen can threaten to sanction China but as China does not have time for attempts at hegemony and no tradition of supporting it there has always been a 'live and let live" attitude, common to south Asia and parts of Arab Asia.
    Trade is 'king' and not sailing around in aircraft carrier task groups of hundreds of vessels to show off. Ms Yellen has inadvertently shown that the USA and its fiefdoms in especially the EU plus the UK are irrelevant to trade and production developments, each at his own speed and in his own way. This applies strongly to parts of Africa and South America.
    Like it or not, we in 'the west' are not top dogs any more and open markets using a non-national trading currency will be fairly quick in coming.
    If the USA sanctions China or other feared and loathed countries it cannot expect to be supplied with needed goods, nor can federal laws stop individual from buying such products via 3rd parties.
    Threats to freeze and sequester monies held in the USA's banks and those in Europe and other places is foolish because it is illegal. Sending sequestered funds to such as Kiev is open theft and could add to the fall of the western financial banking system.
    Because a huge part of the USA's economy is based on moving bits of green paper around and not having an internal stable system of production, maintenance of supply, manufactures or even raw materials not available elsewhere I imagine that many an economist, corporation and federal and states entities are feeling a bit of trepidation.

  2. USA don't realize how desrespecful they are. They don't, i said, because every single american generation, had been educated, brainwashed into believe they are the kings of the world

  3. “Anything that aids Russia in its brutal war against Ukraine is unacceptable”….. says Yellin. Meanwhile, the US is continuing to aid Israel in its brutal war against Palestine, but that OK. Got it.

  4. The west was not impeding China's economic development, else why would western companies invest manufacturing in China (which is a transfer of technology, skills & funds). However, the west has to protect their own industry & certain expensive technologies that took years, risk-taking, scholarship and funding to develop. Likewise, Russia & China are doing the same. There are no free lunches my dear comrades. In time, China will catch up because they have the brains and determination to continually improve.

  5. @ 4:42 , Xi Jiping had promised Putin that China will increase assistance to Russia if USA-NATO’s involvement enlarges the Ukraine war. Today, China’s massive energy purchase from Russia has funded Russia’s military production as well as stabilized the price of oil, countering the effects of U.S. sanction against Russian energy export.

    Yellen threatens China with additional trade sanctions should China materially and financially aid Russia in the Ukraine War . What will happen if USA sanction Chinese banks? Just as USA froze Russian assets and evicted Russia from the SWIFT, USA will resort to the same tactics against China. So far US trade sanctions against China has backfired. To wit: 5G, semiconductor chips, EV battery, and high tariff. US sanctioning Chinese banks will accelerate BRICS introduction of an alternative reserve currency backed by gold and precious metals against the USD backed by the Federal Reserve’s printing press.

    Yellen’s threat is made against an ominous background of 2025, the year when the China economy surpasses the U.S. economy. Such a momentous event the world has not seen since 1492 when a sliver of the world’s population from Western Europe began colonizing, conquering, enslaving, and brutalizing the rest of humanity. In 2025 BRICS will exploit the momentous event by tendering an alternative reserve currency. The inauguration of the BRICS reserve currency means the “ Greenback” will implode as the international banking system embraces the BRICS reserve currency while jettisoning the USD. The sudden lost of purchasing power of the USD will decimate the ability of the U.S. government to refinance its massive debt. Hyper inflation will rear its ugly head as the Federal Reserve’s printing press works overtime to keep the U.S. government and the national economy afloat. Ultimately, when the USD fail to service the national economy, social unrest will exacerbate the national divides that incite mini civil wars threatening the existence of the U.S. government.

    War is coming to China because of the viability of U.S. government is at risk. USA must cripple the Chinese economy if the USA were to maintain the status quo; defeat Russia in the Ukraine War; dominate China; and save the USD as the world’s reserve currency.

  6. Ellen arrived in China earlier this week to threaten China with additional sanctions if China help Russia wage war in Ukraine. China laughed at Yellen. Today, Lavrov arrives in China to set the stage for Putin’s visit. What’s in the cards: Putin and Xi Jiping will secretly agree to another round of economic and military cooperation to counter USA-NATO’s deeper involvement in the Ukraine War and the upcoming Iranian-Israeli war where Israel is sponsored by the USA.
