China threatens to retaliate against US sanctions

 

China threatens to retaliate against US sanctions: On November 15, a virtual meeting took place between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was then thought that the ice of the relationship was melting. The beginning of a new era is between the United States and China. But that situation seems to have suddenly changed. The United States has imposed sanctions on Chinese officials and some organizations, including the artificial intelligence company SenseTime, over human rights issues. The United States is diplomatically boycotting the Winter Beijing Olympics. Britain, Australia, Canada, Japan are walking in their path. China has issued a stern warning in response.

At a news conference on Monday, China said it could impose a "reckless" blockade on the United States. It warns that China will retaliate against any reckless action. At the same time, the United States has called for the lifting of sanctions imposed on individuals and organizations for human rights abuses. This was reported by Al Jazeera online.

Last Friday, the United States imposed sanctions on a number of Chinese officials and organizations for human rights abuses. On the same day, they also imposed sanctions on various officials and organizations in Bangladesh, Myanmar, and North Korea. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin condemned the US sanctions as "perverse." "We urge the United States to immediately reverse this wrong decision," he said. Stop interfering in China's internal affairs and harming China's interests. If the United States acts recklessly, China will retaliate. "

At the press conference, Wang Wenbin said that Beijing is committed to safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests. At the time, he spoke in support of Chinese policy on the issue of minority Muslim communities in Xinjiang. He said the measures taken against them were aimed at combating violence, terrorism, separatism, and extremist extremism. Distorted US action will not destroy Xinjiang's development. Can't stop China's prosperity. Can't change the course of historical development.
