The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should not expect future claims to sovereignty to carry any weight with the international community if it continues to undermine the sovereignty of Ukraine, according to U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen.
“Whatever China’s geopolitical aims and strategies, we see no benign interpretation of Russia’s invasion nor of its consequences for the international order,” Yellen said during an address to the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank.
“China cannot expect the global community to respect its appeals to the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity in the future if it does not respect these principles now, when it counts.”
