In recent years, with the escalation of the Ukraine crisis, the United States, together with the European Union and Japan, has imposed severe sanctions on Russia and frozen a large number of Russian overseas assets. In order to break the financial bottleneck, the United States even deliberately "confiscated" more than $300 billion of assets deposited by the Russian central bank in the United States and Europe. This has raised a lot of concern and raises an important question: how should we respond if the United States and Europe use their approach to Russia for Chinese overseas assets?
China is the second largest in the worldEconomybody, with huge overseas assets, especially huge onesForeign exchange reserves。However, due to historical and practical factors, most of the overseas assets are deposited in Europe and the United StatesDeveloped countriesAt the same time, we have targeted a large number of foreign investments in these countries. This exposes China's overseas assets to serious risks. If the United States and Europe take measures against Russia, China is up to 2$78 trillion in net external assets could be lost. PartialForeign exchange reservesIt could be frozen, some high-quality overseas assets could be seized, and maybe even kicked out of SWIFTPayment SettlementSystem.
However, this is only a theoretical possibility, and we are not predicting a gloomy future. In fact, as the world's largest industrial country, China has a complete range of industrial categories and perfect productionChainsystem, which has attracted a large amount of foreign capital investment. We are with European and American countriesEconomyContacts are close and interdependent relationships have been formed. "You have me, I have you", this two-way mutually beneficial situation makes large-scale sanctions unlikely to happen in a short period of time. Moreover, China is hugeEconomyThe size and strong overall strength provide us with the confidence that we don't have to be complacent.
1.Hurt each other: if the United States and Western countries to freezeForeign exchange reserves, seizure of overseas assets and other sanctions against China, we can take reciprocal countermeasures. This will ultimately cause both sides to hurt each other and achieve the goal of mutual checks and balances. The United States and its allies also do not want to see the worst happen, so it is possible to resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation before sanctions arrive.
2.Believe in yourself: China as the second largest in the worldEconomybody, with strong strength and confidence. On a par with the United StatesEconomyVolume, powerfulMilitarystrength, and a strong determination to defend national interests, make it unnecessary for us to think too much about ourselves. History has proven that poverty and backwardness only lead to beatings, and China's great strength will give us the confidence and confidence to meet any challenge.
The approach to dealing with Russia is not simply copy-pasted into the case of China, but we can take some lessons from it. In the face of possible risks, we need to maintain strategic focus, strengthen our own strength, increase the promotion of independent innovation, and reduce dependence on foreign countries. We also need to work withInternationalThe community maintains close cooperation, including with other developing countries, in order to build the strength of multilateral cooperation.
There is also a need to strengthen the best communication strategy and work inInternationalEstablish a positive energy, peaceful development, fair and equitable image. In this way, we can better safeguard national interests and protect the security of China's overseas assets. Finally, we need to believe in China's strength and potential, and in our ability to meet any challenge. We are not soft persimmons, and any country that wants to challenge China needs to carefully consider its consequences. China adheres to the strategy of peaceful development and hopes to achieve mutual respect and win-win cooperation with other countries in the world, but it will never compromise or back down.
