Recently, the US Treasury Department suddenly announced the inclusion of the Russian Arctic LNG 2 project in the sanctions list. This unexpected move immediately had a huge impact on the energy of China and Japan and other countries. In the face of the rampant hegemony of the United States, China condemned it in public, pointed out the three major crimes of the United States in sanctioning Russian natural gas, and called on the United States to immediately stop its erroneous behavior.
Russia's Arctic LNG 2 project was initiated by Russian energy giant Novatek, with the participation of Chinese companies PetroChina and CNOOC. Once completed, the project will go a long way towards alleviating the current global energy shortage. However, the sudden sanctions imposed by the United States directly blocked the financing of the project and seriously threatened the energy security of the international community.
As the world's largest economy, the United States should shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining global energy security. However, instead of fulfilling its obligations, it has provoked incidents and undermined energy cooperation among other countries. This beggar-thy-neighbor practice of harming others and benefiting oneself has completely exposed the egoistic and hegemonic features of the United States, and should be condemned by all peace-loving countries.
Japan relies on imports for 96% of its LNG, of which 8. 8% from Russia. Japan** planned to import 9% of its natural gas from Russia by 2026. The Arctic 2 project is the key to achieving this goal. The sudden sanctions of the United States have directly undermined Japan's energy ** plan.
As an ally of the United States in Asia, Japan deserves to be protected and respected by the United States. However, the United States has arbitrarily sanctioned Russian natural gas exports this time, but has not taken into account Japan's core interests at all. This fully exposes that in the eyes of the United States, the so-called allies are nothing more than pawns that can be sacrificed at will. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Japan-US alliance.
Not only Japan, but also European countries are deeply dependent on Russian gas imports. European countries were reluctant to sanction Russian gas projects in the Russia-Ukraine conflict in order to protect their own interests. However, this move by the United States completely ignores the needs of its allies. This will inevitably further undermine the already dynamic alliance between Europe and the United States.
The blind sanctions imposed by the United States on Russian natural gas exports this time have fully exposed its hawkish nature. It thinks only of its own interests and does not have the well-being of its allies in mind at all. This kind of arbitrary and arbitrary practice at the expense of others and self-interest will further exacerbate its isolation in the international community.
To sum up, the US sanctions on Russian natural gas projects have been widely condemned by the international community for harming others and benefiting themselves. China calls on the United States to stop sanctions as soon as possible, return to the right track of economic cooperation, and jointly safeguard world energy security. China will continue to carry out energy cooperation with Russia and other countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and make due contributions to promoting global economic recovery.
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and everyone had different opinions on the US move. Some netizens believe that the United States is safeguarding its own national interests and should not be blamed. However, more netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction, believing that the United States' practice of harming others and benefiting itself should be condemned. Some netizens pointed out that this fully exposes the hegemonic nature of the United States, which will only use its allies as pawns. Some netizens are worried that this will further undermine the international order, calling on all countries to unite and oppose the rampant hegemony of the United States.
In any case, this move by the United States is bound to further exacerbate its isolation in the international community and seriously undermine global energy security. We call on the United States to stop its erroneous acts as soon as possible and jointly safeguard world peace and development. Do you think the United States will continue to harm others and benefit itself?Feel free to speak in the comment section.
In the face of the blind sanctions of the United States, China's spokesperson Mao Ning publicly denounced the wrong approach of the United States. Mao Ning bluntly said that Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation should not be illegally interfered with by any third party. At the same time, China has consistently opposed illegitimate unilateral sanctions, which have proven to not only fail to solve problems, but also allow risks to spill over.
This fully demonstrates China's unequivocal opposition to hegemonism and firm upholding international fairness and justice as a responsible major country. In the current complex international environment, China has chosen a rational and prudent direction, calling on all countries to stop sanctions and return to the track of win-win cooperation.
China and Russia will continue to strengthen bilateral cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. It doesn't matter whether Chinese companies withdraw from the Arctic 2 project, the point is that the United States must stop its misguided sanctions and not continue to disrupt the international energy market. China's attitude reflects the responsibility of a responsible major country and has made due contributions to world peace and development.
Regarding the sudden sanctions imposed by the United States on Russian natural gas projects, some analysts believe that the motive behind it is worthy of the world's vigilance. The U.S. move is bound to disrupt global energy** and cause liquefied natural gas (LNG** to soar. And the United States itself will reap huge economic benefits from this.
In fact, the United States has been stepping up its LNG exports to Asia and Europe. It hopes to replace Russia and become a natural gas merchant in Europe and Asia. And sanctions on Russian exports will inevitably hit Russia's market share and allow the United States to gain more room for LNG exports.
Therefore, what the United States has done has fully exposed its true intention to pursue its own economic interests under the guise of sanctions. We must remain sober and vigilant, not be deceived, and resolutely resist US economic hegemony.
6. Looking to the future, we must safeguard world peace.
Looking ahead, the world is in a complex period of change and adjustment. As a traditional energy source, the supply guarantee of natural gas is related to the overall development of all countries. We must abandon the Cold War mentality, overcome hegemonism, unite and cooperate, and jointly safeguard the world's energy security.
China will continue to unswervingly cooperate with Russia and other countries in energy and make due contributions to the recovery and development of the world economy. We call on the United States to stop harming others and not benefiting itself, return to the right track of international economic cooperation, and work with all countries in the world to promote the cause of peaceful development of mankind.
Let us join hands to fulfill our responsibilities as a major country and safeguard world peace and stability. Only through rational cooperation and win-win development between countries can mankind usher in a better tomorrow.
