In today's era of rapid changes in the global political and economic landscape, the close trade relationship between China and Russia has become a prominent topic on the international stage.
Especially from the perspective of the United States, this is not only an economic exchange between two countries.
It's more like an extension of a strategic game.
The U.S. government is particularly sensitive and uneasy about this, and this sentiment has been evident in a series of sanctions against Chinese companies.
In recent years, trade relations between China and Russia have continued to strengthen, especially in the fields of energy, science and technology, and infrastructure.
From January to April this year, although China's exports to Russia decreased slightly.
However, imports from Russia increased by 10.2 percent, and the overall trade volume still maintained a growth of 4.7 percent.
This growth trend not only shows the strong driving force of the complementary economies of the two countries, but also reflects the new trend of global resource allocation.
In the eyes of the United States, this trade is a manifestation of the deepening of the "strategic alliance" between China and Russia, especially in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The U.S. government believes that China, through its trade with Russia, is actually providing indirect support for Russia's military and energy projects.
Behind this interpretation is the deep dissatisfaction and vigilance of the United States, which fears that the close cooperation between China and Russia will pose a challenge to the global strategy of the United States.
The response of the United States to this is obvious – an attempt to weaken the economic ties between China and Russia through sanctions and economic pressure.
Earlier this year, the United States imposed sanctions on more than 300 entities and individuals with economic ties to Russia, including Chinese businesses and businesses.
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly an attempt to change the direction of China's foreign policy through "economic coercion".
However, this strategy has not been without its challenges.
China has taken a firm stance against unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States, stressing that such practices lack the support of international law and are a clear violation of international rules.
What's more, China's position in the global economy means that such U.S. sanctions are not only a threat to Sino-Russian trade relations.
It could also cause broader economic volatility and uncertainty.
In response to US sanctions, China has adopted a series of countermeasures and countermeasures.
First of all, China emphasized the legitimacy and legitimacy of Sino-Russian trade, which is fully in line with the rules of the World Trade Organization and the principles of a market economy.
The Chinese government has said it will not change the direction of cooperation with Russia because of external pressure.
This is an independent choice made by the two countries based on mutual interests and common development goals.
Second, China has responded forcefully to U.S. unilateral sanctions.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs made it clear that China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises from being harmed.
This includes possible reciprocal measures, as well as public criticism and boycott of the actions of the US side in international forums.
China's firm stance not only demonstrates its determination to safeguard national sovereignty and economic security, but also demonstrates China's growing self-confidence and influence in international politics.
On the broader international stage, China has also actively promoted multilateral cooperation and built a more just and equitable international economic order.
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is part of this, by enhancing regional economic cooperation.
Reduced dependence on a single economy, thereby relieving pressure from the United States to a greater extent.
It cannot be ignored that the relationship between China and Russia is not only the deepening of trade relations, but also cooperation in the political, cultural and security fields.
This all-encompassing partnership has strengthened the ability of China and Russia to jointly resist external pressures, and has also made it difficult for the United States to divide itself into action.
The unity of China and Russia plays an irreplaceable role in safeguarding global multipolarization and international justice.
