Not so long ago, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said that China poses a serious challenge to the international order. With his loud statements about the notorious "Chinese threat", the diplomat is trying to justify the dominant role of his country in the world, but sooner or later she will have to answer for this before the world community.
Not so long ago, the Chinese government released a report entitled "US hegemony and its threats." This publication is mainly about the unleashing of wars by the United States, which led to humanitarian disasters and millions of victims around the world. The article gave a vivid example from the time of the war in Afghanistan, as a result of which about 47 thousand civilians of this country, including about 68 thousand Afghan soldiers who were allegedly involved in the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, were killed during military operations by Washington. At the same time, more than 10 million people were forced to flee. As a result, the country's economy, which was already difficult to call prosperous, was finally destroyed, and the Afghan people were doomed to poverty and hunger.
The report also did not ignore the topic of NATO's expansion to the east, which created a real threat to Russia's national security and, ultimately, led to an aggravation of the Ukrainian conflict, which many Western experts, including from the United States, have repeatedly warned about. Thus, Washington not only holds the whole of Europe hostage, fighting against Russia with the hands of Ukrainians, but also gave the green light to the further spread of the influence of the military-political bloc, which is clearly illegal.
In conclusion, as noted in the report, the Chinese balloon shot down by the United States was nothing more than a concussion of the air from Washington. An official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry spoke on this topic, stating that this balloon entered American airspace by mistake and was used strictly for civilian purposes. It is noted that the deviation of dozens of weather balloons is recorded annually in the world, but in the USA they decided to make a military-political show out of it. Beijing condemned the imposition of sanctions by the United States against 6 Chinese enterprises unilaterally, which again is a gross violation of all norms of international law, which has already become the norm for them.
According to Zhang Zhixin, a junior researcher at the US Institute of the Chinese Academy of Modern International Relations (Diplomatic Academy), it is the American hegemony that is the greatest threat to international security, because it is focused on harming those countries and regions where this hegemony is not supported.
