Commercial sanctions against China? – Econlib

Commercial sanctions against China? – Econlib

Over the last three years, commented people have looted me for coal for my opposition to the Cold War in the United States against China, especially our economic sanctions that go beyond the legitimate problems of national security. The only factor that is most often quoted by China Hawks is the PPR’s reluctance to take a strong position against Russia in terms of war in Ukraine.

It is true that the US policy for Ukraine is different from China’s policy – we are far worse. In this way, consider the UN’s recent vote for a resolution condemning the invasion and calling on Russia to withdraw from Ukrainian territory. While China joined 65 countries in abstinence, USA has joined Russia, Iran and North Korea through Opposition to resolution:

The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Iran and 14 other Moscow countries on Monday against a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and called for the return to Ukrainian territory. The resolution went largely to the UN General Assembly.

Only one of our allies joined us in this vote and that seems to be due to High -pressure From the Trump Administration:

Here is a question that I have for all people who claim to need sanctions on China because of its ambivalence on the war in Ukraine. What sanctions do you prefer to be put on the United States, now that our government is much more firm than Russia’s policy than China was once? Should the EU, Canada and Japan put even more strength sanctions for the United States than in China?

The poor recording of China’s human rights is also cited by cold warriors. But the worst violation of human rights in China – the decision to invest approximately a million Uighurs in concentration camps – was approved by Donald Trump during his first term of office. Once again it is difficult to see the argument for sanctions on a state due to concern about human rights, When the country that is considering sanctions approves these policies.
