Hold China accountable! On July 22, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Whittaker claimed that China believes they are waging a proxy war through Russia, and from some statements by the Chinese government, it seems that they hope to keep the United States and its allies bogged down in this war for a long time, so we cannot focus on other strategic challenges. I think China has misjudged the situation. They should be held responsible for funding the killing on the battlefield in Ukraine and should be condemned.

Whittaker said that secondary sanctions would be a strong countermeasure, and any country purchasing Russian oil, whether China, India or Brazil, would face repercussions. Obviously, from the remarks of American politicians, this is an attempt to hold the so-called Chinese proxy war accountable. However, we would like to ask: what is a proxy war? Does the United States not know?

Is the most typical example of a proxy war not providing money, weapons, intelligence support, and personnel training? Based on these four criteria, it's likely that the United States is indeed waging a real proxy war through Ukraine, while China's so-called proxy war is nothing more than a shadow. Furthermore, was the Russia-Ukraine war triggered by China? Obviously not.

The United States lured Ukraine into joining NATO, and Ukraine naively believed that it had the right to join NATO, leading to the war continuing until today. The United States, which once profited from the war, now finds itself stuck in the quagmire and is trying to shift the blame onto China, which is the real reason. It's probably not us who have misjudged the situation, but rather the United States that has misjudged it. Now, the United States and Europe have not completely cut off trade with Russia. Is this not helping the killing?

If the United States and Europe had adopted a restrained approach when dealing with Russia, would the war have occurred? Obviously, both sides of the Russia-Ukraine conflict have suffered heavy casualties, and the NATO led by the United States is definitely related and fully responsible. Threatening us with secondary sanctions is useless. If the United States doesn't mind losing rare earths, it can try. The Russia-Ukraine war, NATO is undoubtedly one of the main culprits. The expansion of NATO should be condemned and held accountable.
