We call on Russia to take firm action, and how China respond is likely to affect the world's willingness to view China and its willingness to support economic integration and deepening.If China does not respect sovereignty and territorial integrity at the current critical moment, it will not expect the international community to respect any of its demands on sovereignty and territorial integrity.
——Bere, US Finance Minister
(Washington Comprehensive) U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen called on China to assist in the end of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.She said that if China cannot respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, it cannot expect the international community to respect Beijing any demands on these principles.
Good use of "special relations with Russia" China can promote the positive situation
Yellen gave a speech at the Atlantic Council of Washington Think Tank the day before yesterday that China recently confirmed the "special relationship" with Russia. She was eager to use this relationship to make good use of this relationship to promote the positive situation and help end the Russian and Ukraine war.
She said that if China does not do this, its international status may be affected."We call on Russia to take resolute action, and how China respond is likely to affect the world's willingness to view China and its willingness to support economic integration and deepening."
Yellen said that it is more and more difficult for China and the West to distinguish economic issues from more extensive national security issues."If China does not respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity at the current critical moment, it will not expect the international community to respect any of the demands on sovereignty and territorial integrity in the future."
Yellen also criticized the country with a short look at the country where the Russian and Ukraine War remained available.She warns that countries that try to destroy Western sanctions will face economic consequences.
For Yellen's remarks, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian said that China has always adhered to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of various countries.Russia's reasonable and security concerns should also be respected.
Zhao Lijian emphasized at a regular press conference yesterday that China has always adhered to an objective and fair position on the Ukrainian issue and supports dialogue negotiations to resolve the crisis."The Chinese side plays a constructive role on the Ukrainian issue ... We oppose unjustly accusations and suspicion against China, let alone accept any pressure and coercion."
However, in a question after the speech on the same day, Yellen stated that the United States must work hard to cooperate with China to avoid the polarization of the global financial system and form a situation where the market -driven democratic country and the autocratic economy are opposed.
In addition to international diplomacy, the United States has continued to increase military assistance to Ukraine.U.S. President Biden and Ukraine President Zelei Sky the day before yesterday announced that it would provide another $ 800 million (approximately S $ 184 million) for military aid for Ukraine.
Pentagon spokesman Kobe said that the United States will provide 18 155 mm howitz gun systems to Ukraine for the first time.The military aid list also includes 10 anti -artillery radar systems, 200 armored troops, 100 Hummer war vehicles, more than 300 spring knife drones, 11 helicopters, protective equipment, etc.Because the Ukrainian army is not familiar with some of them, it is necessary to receive relevant training.
The United States has previously resisted the heavier weapon to give Ukraine, because of the concern of the war upgrade; therefore, this round of military aids will test Russia's tolerance for Western aid.
Urban War experts and retired Army Maobezersi at the Madison McDonetto Policy Forum said that he was glad to see the United States with artillery and artillery shells."You need these bigger and powerful weapons ... in order to compete with Russia's try to bring to Wudong."
However, the United States still did not send it to Ukraine that it repeatedly required fighters.The United States believes that providing fighters must cause positive conflicts in the United States and Russia, and increase the risk of "Third World War".
