【Lavrov: China has surpassed Western competitors in the economic field】
Moscow time January 20, 2026, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov answered a journalist's question at the press conference on Russia's foreign policy achievements in 2025:
We have discussed global economic trends more than once. At that time, the People's Republic of China, based on the West itself, with the United States at the forefront, laid the foundation for the model of globalization, which was promoted in various places until recently, and outperformed Western competitors in trade, economy, investment, and infrastructure projects. The economic and financial indicators of China's development speak for themselves. Now we see the West trying to deal with this disadvantage through sanctions and tariffs.
