Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced the likelihood of a full-scale confrontation between China and the United States.
According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, Beijing is imposing sanctions on Washington.
The new restrictive measures are related to the supply of weapons to Taiwan.
According to Wenbin, such measures are being introduced to protect China’s sovereignty and security interests.
The measures are being introduced as a response to the actions of the US military-industrial company Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies, which has been supplying weapons to Taiwan for a long time.
According to the diplomat, such trade grossly violates the principle of “one China” and negatively affects the sovereignty of the country, as well as relations between the United States and China.
Wenbin has not yet told about specific sanctions.
Against this background, RIA Novosti reports that the new US strategy is aimed at deterring Beijing. This opinion was expressed by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, speaking with his American counterpart Anthony Blinken.
Wang Yi considers it a mistake that the US is trying to use Taiwan to put pressure on Beijing.
The diplomat added that the calls of US politicians to strengthen competition with China threaten to turn into full-scale clashes between states.
