(Morning Post) The director of the Swiss State Economic Development Secretariat (SECO), Ineoqin Fletti, said that if mainland China invades Taiwan, she believes that Switzerland will take any sanctions initiated by the European Union on China.
Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch was interviewed in an interview with the New Zurich.: "I firmly believe that we will take this sanctions."
She pointed out that sanctions against China will be far more intense than sanctions in Russia because economic relations are much more important."Therefore, discussions in the European Union and the United States and Switzerland may be greater than discussions in Russia. But I hope that it will never reach this step."
Switzerland is the popular destination of the Moscow elite.It is also a gathering place for Russia's wealth, so Switzerland is facing increasing pressure, asking it to identify and freeze hundreds of assets sanctioned Russians faster.
As of July, Switzerland had frozen Russian financial assets and 15 real estate worth 6.7 billion Swiss franc (about S $ 9.71 billion), and Inesqin-Flechi said that this number is unlikely to have it.Too much change.She said: "SECO has no sign showing that many of the sanctions have not been found."
