#Globalisierung, wie wir sie kannten. Wenn die große Handelsnation der Welt bereit ist, 100% Zölle zu zahlen, um ihre Souveränität zu wahren, ist das Zeitalter der reinen Effizienz vorbei. Willkommen in der Ära der strategischen Autonomie.
China Has No Plans to Abandon Russian Oil — Reuters
China has rejected U.S. demands to stop purchasing Russian oil, stating that it will defend its energy sovereignty.
Chinese officials emphasized that oil purchases will be determined by the country’s domestic political needs, and they are willing to pay tariffs of up to 100%.
In response, the U.S. warned that a new bill in Congress could impose up to 500% tariffs on Russian oil, which would also apply to China.
The U.S. also expressed dissatisfaction with China’s export of dual-use goods to Russia worth over $15 billion.
These actions by China could undermine its reputation in Europe, where it is seen as supporting the war.
Yesterday, China and the U.S. extended their trade truce for another 90 days, but it is unclear whether Trump will be able to impose secondary sanctions in the future.
