China examines the impact of sanctions on Russia for likely invasion of Taiwan - FBI

In Beijing, according to the FBI, they began to take measures in the economy for potential protection against sanctions, which can be introduced in the event of an attack of China on Taiwan. Christopher Ray, director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, said that China was studying Russia's war against Ukraine in detail and the consequences of sanctions on the Russian economy. CNN reported on April 6.

According to him, Beijing is analyzing the Russian-Ukrainian war, which can potentially demonstrate China's intentions to invade the territory of Taiwan. The country is interested in the reaction of the economy to sanctions that are imposed against the aggressor. "If they decided, for example, to try to capture Taiwan, you can expect a lot of sanctions," Ray said. He stressed that China's attempts to focus on "the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy" are gradually observing.

Ray also drew attention to the fact that in Beijing, the authorities have already "began to implement certain measures to mitigate their economy from the consequences of potential sanctions, seeking to reduce the risks. " According to CNN, on April 6, during a meeting with Emmanuel Macron, Chinese leader Xi Jinping urged negotiations to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible. In response, the President of France said that the head of the PRC may affect Moscow and bring it back to common sense.

He greeted China's willingness to take on the settlement and expressed his hope that Beijing would be able to influence the situation in Moscow. According to Focus on April 4, the Kremlin head Vladimir Putin urged the Russians to prepare for life without Western goods. He stated that anti -Russian sanctions have been imposed for a long time, so it is necessary to process "medium -term and long -term import substitution options".
