The US policy on Taiwan is similar to the process of turning Ukraine into a threat to Russia’s security, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko has said.
He said this during a speech at the ninth international conference “Russia and China: cooperation in a new era.”
“We see certain parallels between the processes taking place in Taiwan and Washington’s actions to turn Ukraine into a real threat to our country’s national security,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Rudenko stressed that the USA was escalating the situation around Taiwan and thus increasing pressure on Beijing.
Earlier, the Chinese Defence Ministry said that the deployment of US medium-range missiles in the Philippines would create huge military risks in the region.
According to Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov, Washington is seeking to create a long-term hotbed of tension in the Asia-Pacific region.
