How Beijing is neutralising Washington’s sanctions machine

·South China Morning Post·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Beijing is taking steps to counter US sanctions, which have been imposed on various countries, including Iran and Venezuela. This move is significant because it allows China to continue trading with these nations, potentially reducing the impact of US economic pressure. The neutralization of Washington's sanctions machine could also give China more influence in global trade and commerce, as it would no longer be bound by US-imposed restrictions. This shift in the balance of power could have far-reaching consequences for markets and the global economy.
