[Epoch Times, April 29, 2022](Epoch Times reporter Xu Jian comprehensive report) Recently, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned the CCP that if it “does not follow the rules” in the international world, the Group of Seven (G7) ) will unite to punish them economically. These words deeply hurt the CCP, and the CCP warrior immediately jumped out to try to whitewash it.
So, what did Truss say? (video here）
On Wednesday (April 27), Truss issued a direct warning to the CCP in a speech at the London Mayor’s Mansion (Mansion House). She said that the Western world has united to sanction Russia, which has led to Russia’s decoupling from the world economy, which shows that it is no longer “for granted” that some countries want to enter the market of democratic countries.
In a highly confrontational message to Beijing, Truss warned that China could face Russian-style sanctions if it threatened the security of other countries, adding: “China’s rise is not inevitable, If they don’t play by the rules, they won’t continue to rise.”
Gorden Chang, an expert on China, analyzed that Xi Jinping’s speech at the Boao Forum revealed that the CCP’s greatest fear is that the world will decouple from it. Xi Jinping said at the time: “All countries in the world… must stand together in the same boat, and it is unacceptable to attempt to throw anyone into the sea.” Zhang Jiadun explained that what the CCP fears most is being abandoned by other countries, but in fact (decoupling) is happening.
Truss believes that global powers such as the G7 should form an “economic NATO”, and the strength of unity should not be underestimated. If the economies of these countries are invaded by China and Russia, the member states must defend each other, “China (the CCP) needs to cooperate with the G7 To trade, our (G7) economy accounts for half of the world.”
She made no secret, “We have choices, when someone violates international rules, we will make choices, which also shows our respect for security and national sovereignty, rather than short-term economic interests, because we know not to as the price to be paid.”
“We are showing that economic access (to the West) is no longer a matter of course, but should be earned, and that countries must play by the rules, including China,” Truss stressed.
On Thursday, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded that the international order that NATO requires the CCP to abide by is “the family law and gang rules of small groups and small circles.” mess up the world?”
Truss also raised the prospect of a “global NATO”, which she called for a “global NATO” with a “global vision” that was “ready to deal with global threats” and “must ensure that democracies like Taiwan are capable of self-defense”.
Analysts believe that this proposal makes the CCP even more angry.
