    The US is reportedly readying sanctions against Chinese banks in an effort to pressure Beijing over its tacit support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

    The moves, according to The Wall Street Journal, come with the US secretary of state due to arrive in China, part of continued high-level engagement between the two countries even as they face off over an array of issues: The US is carrying out naval drills with the Philippines in the South China Sea, where Manila has accused Beijing of expansionism.

    China is not standing pat, though, and has built up its own financial wherewithal, having “watched carefully as Western allies have deployed unprecedented economic statecraft against Russia,” the Atlantic Council noted in a recent report.

  2. Sanctions won’t do anything to China. They’ve been watching Russia carefully and adapting.

    Now for us to aggressively continuing to reduce our reliance on them will hurt a lot.

  3. Russia is okay being isolated. Don’t think China will want it banks cut off from the financial system. But then again knowing Biden, he will probably sanction a small roody poo bank that no one has heard of while leaving the big Chinese banks untouched

  4. This should have happened sooner. Imagine the lives that could have been saved if a massive sanction like that crippled the backbone of Russia’s wartime economy. Hopefully, these sanctions would decimate the military industrial complex of China that supports Russia.

  5. It’s time to sanction China and generally decouple our economic fate from China.  It will involve some pain and make whichever President follows this strategy unpopular, but it needs to be done.

    Further we need to sanction India and quit shipping jobs over there.  They are buying Russian oil and supporting this terrorism.  

  7. China’s involvement may be more indirect. They have several manufacturers that export to neutral areas, making it easier for Russia to obtain these things. Though the people making this decision definitely have access to higher levels of intelligence than we do. It’s possible they have evidence of direct involvement.

  8. And this is why you shouldn’t emotionally invest into Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail

  9. Shit like election interference is enough to sanction china, the war is just being used as an excuse to sanction them for other reasons as well..

    Do eeet.

  11. The chip sanctions only backfired, forcing China to begin manufacturing them in-house and become less dependant on the EU and USA.

    There’s a breathtakingly simple reason China isn’t so aggressive with their sanctions on the US – it keeps them very dependant. A massive amount of US manufacturing, rare earth metals required for lots of military equipment, and more come from China. Sanctions would force re/friendshoring, without which the US would experience a massive system shock if war broke out. [According the US government itself, it is 100% dependant on China for the rare earth metals](https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/groundbreaking-report-us-reliant-china-russia-other-foreign-nations-many-critical) it uses to produce advanced weaponry.

    I’m of course not saying this to be pro-china if that’s what it comes across as. The US needs to look at trade and supply chain strategically. China has *intentionally* gotten the US to move industry there – which business has been totally willing to do in order to make money.

    It’s one way they’ve beaten us handily. Business makes decisions that don’t always align with and sometimes *contradict* national security.

  12. China has everyone by the balls, everyone’s manufacturing stuff there.
    This is why it’s a bad idea to outsource all your industry.
    I’ll always advocate for self-reliance.

  13. Just curious:Did US ever get what they want by sanction Russia/China/NK?

  15. even if USA loses china’s factory production, there are alternate countries for such manufacturing in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, etc… for china there is only 1 USA.

  16. Imagine if most US manufacturing wasn’t still offshored to China or Chinese influenced economies. I’m sure these sanctions will hurt the people in the US more than China at this point.

  17. They’re just helping Russia get rid of Ukraine’s WMDs. Or is that now not allowed?

  18. lol not gonna happen. We rely on China for too much, it’s also why we won’t go to war with them.

  19. I wonder if China can rally nations to boycott the USA currency, services, products in response to the sanctions. It would be an interesting battle.

  20. We should sanction a few of our congresspeople as well.

  22. Can we sanction the US next for their military support to Israel and Saudi Arabia plx? <3

  24. The old USA hypocrisy. Will they self sanction about founding genocide in Gaza?

  25. What is the point in sending Blinken at this point?
