China: "Taiwan is the US 'Jul'... Stirring Ukraine tensions for its own interests"

The Biggest Victims Are Ukraine, Russia, and the EU... European Capital Will Move to the US
If US Interests Disappear, Taiwan Will Be Abandoned

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Jo Young-shin] Chinese state-run media claimed that the United States is inciting military tensions in Ukraine for its own interests. They predicted that Ukraine would be the biggest victim of the current situation, followed by Russia and the European Union (EU). They also reiterated that the United States would use Taiwan like a 'jol (卒)' on a chessboard in relation to Taiwan's separatism (independence).

The state-run Global Times reported on the 14th that despite Russia's continued statements of no intention to invade Ukraine, the United States is escalating war fears. It pointed out that the biggest beneficiary of the Ukraine issue is the United States, while Ukraine, Russia, and the EU will be the victims.

The media cited experts saying that due to the fear of war, capital within Europe will move to the United States, which will serve as a lever to resolve economic problems such as inflation in the U.S.

Jin Chanlong, Vice Dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University, said, "The Western camp including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia is increasing chaos rather than making efforts for peace, such as ordering their nationals to evacuate Ukraine," and diagnosed, "The United States is spreading false and process information about the Russian invasion, heightening the sense of crisis." He added that there is no concrete circumstance or reason for Russia to invade Ukraine under the current situation.

Li Haidong, a professor at the China Foreign Affairs University, said, "If the situation in Ukraine worsens, European capital will move to the safe haven of the United States," and added, "If no military action occurs in Ukraine, the United States will cause another problem there." He also said that under the current situation, internal conflicts in Ukraine should be more concerning than a Russian invasion.

The media did not omit warnings about Taiwan. The Global Times criticized that the U.S. incitement regarding Ukraine serves as a lesson for Taiwan, and that the concerns of Taiwan separatists that the mainland (China) might threaten Taiwan if Ukraine faces the worst situation are the same as U.S. incitement.

Xin Qing, a professor at Fudan University in China, said, "The United States is selling weapons, and Taiwan separatists are slandering the mainland for political purposes such as winning elections," adding, "If war breaks out due to the United States' continuous incitement, Taiwan will be the biggest victim." He continued, "Taiwan has always been used by the United States as a jol for their own interests in football, and the United States will abandon Taiwan anytime if it does not align with their interests."
