The U.S. government is imposing pressure on China and Russia at every turn. On Thursday, Beijing's ambassador to Russia declared that the two nations must continue to cooperate to face all the pressure imposed on all fronts.
Hanhui said on Thursday to the Izvestia newspaper that working together was essential to counter U.S. and Western pressure. "The U.S., along with its Western allies, is putting pressure on China and Russia on all fronts: political, economic, military, humanitarian, security, science, and technology," he declared.
"In response to such overt hegemony and power politics, we must continue to deepen back-to-back strategic cooperation," he continued to decree. He referred to Western countries when he stated that they were exercising "extraterritorial jurisdiction."
He noted the arbitrary application of sanctions to both nations, including government agencies, enterprises, and personnel, in an attempt to stifle their development.
