From Russia, will US expand economic war to China?
Asia Times ^

Posted on 03/17/2022 3:54:23 PM PDT by FarCenter

The war in Ukraine is in danger of igniting World War III. A gunfight with NATO cannot be excluded as a consequence of Russia’s military action. The US and NATO are avoiding military conflict on the one hand and firing on all cylinders with economic sanctions on the other. Russia’s military action is aimed at winning space for its security, while the US economic policy is aimed at destroying the Russian economy as a way to trigger regime change and even dismantle Russia.

This could become the first of a new kind of asymmetric world war, in which China’s role is particularly noteworthy.

...

China does not need to bypass sanctions when the United States has made high-profile threats against it. These are only sanctions based on US domestic law, not United Nations Security Council sanctions. The transportation of goods between Russia and China does not have to go through other countries, or only through friendly countries.

China is a sovereign state, and the US has no right or power to order China to comply with US sanctions against Russia based on domestic law. Nor can the US push sanctions against Russia through the UN Security Council.

Apart from energy, which is inseparable from Europe, Russia’s trade with Europe and the United States is only icing on the cake, while trade with China is what really counts. As long as China continues to maintain normal economic and trade ties with Russia, and even expand them, Russia’s economy will not collapse.

The United States wants to close this “big loophole” with China, possibly by extending the economic war against Russia to China, thus forcing China to either submit to the rule of US. sanctions or to have its economy destroyed together. This idea is crazy. It’s not impossible, but unlikely.

The current us regime is the Deep State cabal, embodied in the form of bidEn/shoomer/pelousy/psaki/etc. It’s not that the US can or will expand the economic war to China, it’s more that China will expand the Alliance’s (Putin, Xi, Trump, etc) war against the Deep State Cabal.

DJT told us all about draining the DSC swamp for 4 years. He’s doing it, and not doing it alone. He as a lot of help.

Seize and freeze every China owned asset in this country and their economy would collapse

” This article first appeared in guancha.cn (“Observer”), a Chinese-language news and opinion site, of which Chen Feng is mililtary columnist. “

So, now the liberaltarian surrender monkeys are using Chinese military propaganda in their support for Der Leader Putin.

There is another problem: The Five Eyes, Europe, Japan, and South Korea participated in the Russia sanctions, only Singapore in Southeast Asia. Even Mexico and India did not follow up. The most important abstention eluded everyone’s attention: Israel also did not participate in the sanctions against Russia.

If the United States and Europe declare, “If China does not follow through with sanctions, then sanction China,” do they then have to sanction the whole world? Are the United States and Europe encircling all the countries they don’t like, or are they isolating themselves from the world?

You’re insane if you think Trump is aligned with Xi and Putin.

China can do whatever they want. We will do whatever we want to do in response. Neither China nor Russia has a right to do business with us or to have access to our banking system.

Just stating my 4 cents (2cents with inflation).

YMMV.

Joe Biden, uniting Russia and China against us. What could go wrong.
