Russian president: US attempt to restrain China’s development is a misguided policy

The Russian president has urged America to realise that they will not be able to restrain China’s development

The head of state said this at his annual grand press conference.

“This is an attempt to contain. But it is a wrong policy. Just as it is a mistake to try to use sport in this case to solve some immediate political issues. They can’t contain China’s development, they have to realise that after all. They cannot hold back”, –  Putin said.

The President added that today China’s economy is bigger than the US economy in terms of purchasing power parity.

“The 35th year will pass, the 50th year, and China will inevitably become the first economy of the world and by all other indicators. But you have to understand that. Maybe they understand that and act that way. This is a mistake”, –  said the President of Russia.

The politician also mentioned the reason that hindered the cooperation with Ukraine. In Ukraine, those, who are ready to cooperate with Moscow, are simply eliminated, that is why there is no chance to work with them.
