Beijing has promised to respond to NATO countries if they impose duties on Chinese products

The United States is pressuring the G7 and NATO countries to stop China from buying Russian oil. Beijing, for its part, has promised to retaliate against NATO countries if they impose tariffs on Chinese products in an attempt to stop Russia's oil exports.

The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, warned Western countries about this during a briefing.

He pointed out that China's trade, economic and energy cooperation with other countries, including the Russian Federation, is in accordance with international law and cannot cause any criticism. And if Western countries give in to US pressure and impose duties on China due to oil imports from Russia, China will take the most decisive countermeasures.

In case of violation of China's legitimate rights, it will take decisive countermeasures

- Lin Jian said.

He described Washington's actions as unilateral intimidation and economic coercion. The diplomat accused the US of undermining the international trade system, and also that the White House threatens the security and stability of global production and supply ties.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump reproached European allies for not being tough enough with Russia. He called on them to stop buying Russian oil themselves and to impose sanctions on China if it continues to import hydrocarbons from Russia.

    If Europe imposes sanctions against India and China, it will not be a punishment through sanctions, but a complete self-isolation with fatal consequences.
    Europe's export-oriented economy, especially without the resources of Russia, China and India, is doomed to rapid extinction. Everyone understands this. Both Trump and the globalists. Zugzwang.

      I agree with you, but not in everything. Yes, they will not have cheap consumer goods (they need to sow at least flax for clothing), there will be no cheap TV, computers and smartphones. But they will survive (there are also South Korea and Japan and other countries). They will survive and they will have everything of their own! And what will happen to us?

            And we'll shed some tears.

            And what are the tears about?
            About the quality of power? Economic and financial block?
            Russia has the main thing that is necessary for sustainable development - RESOURCES and DOMESTIC DEMAND. It is in the West, despite having a production base, that they have cut themselves off from cheap and accessible energy resources and raw materials from Russia, and now from the Global South - with their policy of sanctions, duties and the political desires of inadequates.
            For our own development we need to develop/restore our own production base. What is happening now (through the unwillingness of the Financial Block). Previously, our own production stagnated due to the breakdown of cooperation chains and the addiction to imported supplies of components. And now?
            And now, having encountered this in the field of civil aircraft manufacturing, willy-nilly it was necessary to restore the entire production base along all chains of cooperation. And albeit with creaking and delays, but in the air already in certification tests are two completely import-substituted airliners MS-21 and SSZh. And from next year serial production will begin. And this is high technology, complex production, qualified personnel, which will need to be trained more and more, because both domestic demand is great, and there is external demand.
            From the same industry, but with interest from outside - China was left without Western aircraft engines and aircraft components for its new aircraft, which it is only trying to produce. And "oh miracle" - they remembered Russia! It turns out that we have an engine for their medium-range aircraft (PD-14), and for the promising wide-body aircraft (PD-35) ... OOPS !! It turns out that we need to return to cooperation. And if WE in this case do not click our beaks, but resolve the issue of such cooperation and expanded production of these aircraft engines not only for ourselves, but also for China (and they need a LOT of them) - here you have a colossal growth driver for a specific industry. And we still have a lot of things on the way. And in helicopter manufacturing, we will launch our own wide-body aircraft (by simply returning to a joint project with China or independently refining this project for our own production), and short-haul aircraft will fly, and light-engine aviation will be revived. Because the line of NK-650, NK-800 and NK-1600 engines will greatly contribute to this. We have many aircraft with these engines that have been waiting for a long time.
            What else are liberals moaning about?
            About domestic automobile industry?
            In the Russian Federation, a bunch of auto assembly plants were left behind by the fleeing Europeans, Koreans and Japanese. And now they are being supplemented with plants and production lines for the entire range of components for a full cycle. Not long ago I was corresponding with a Chinese guy, their company is now (or already?) preparing for us a couple of production lines for the production of transmissions, chassis and other component base for our auto plants. That is why they introduced SUCH import duties on Chinese cars - to stimulate our own full-cycle production. The new KAMAZ plant in Moscow is being completed, because there are not enough trucks in the country. In St. Petersburg, heavy trucks have also been assembled at a plant abandoned by the Europeans - for the far North and for military needs. And at the same time, our DOMESTIC demand still greatly exceeds domestic supply. And this is an incentive for growth in the conditions of closed external markets for imports from Europe - thanks for the sanctions.
            Shipbuilding.
            Previously, our nouveau riche exported the resource using other people's tankers and dry cargo ships, losing on freight and having a very unpleasant dependence. But life forced them to, and now the Russian Federation not only has the largest Shadow Fleet in the world, but also is building new "super" class shipyards - like "Zvezda" and larger ones, to meet their own needs.
            And all of the above stimulates domestic demand for metals and all products made from them, energy, chemistry and oil/gas chemistry, machine tool building, instrument making, electronics, development of transport networks and, in general, production and commodity logistics. And all of this together is Development.
            Despite the War that has been going on for almost 4 years, sanctions, isolation from the West, drone strikes and Ukrainian Armed Forces saboteurs on our enterprises. And despite the desperate sabotage of a foreign agent under the general name of the Financial Block.
            But just the other day, it was officially announced that we would create our own clearing center within the BRICS framework... OOPS!! And now we don't need the old "Financial Block" at all. We practically don't trade with Europe and the USA and don't even plan to, so why do we need their institutions controlling our economy and finances under the guise of government agencies? Now without them, we'll be like without a millstone around our necks - it will be radically easier to swim.

            We will do everything ourselves. Look how the military-industrial complex has been fired up and the acceleration continues. And everything that is imported now was previously exported by us. And now these industries are being restored. The world will not be the same. And even more so, it will not be global - it is falling apart and dividing into currency zones and spheres of influence of new players. And the role of Military Force is especially increasing. Because only the strongest and most self-sufficient will survive. And since we have joined this struggle for survival, it means that everything will be fine with us. As it was before. We have the main thing - Resources and Domestic Demand.

          It will be hard for them. If they don't fall into a Civil War, if the Republicans stay in power and ban the Democratic Party as a "terrorist structure of the original Enemy of the USA" - they will survive and "become great again". They have everything for this - their own resource base, domestic demand, technical competencies and the traditions of an industrial society. They will have to actively cleanse the cities of parasites, criminal gangs and lumpen, retrain/re-educate some in labor camps, send some to special settlements in the northern regions of Canada (a new state/province of the "North American Empire" or to the mines of Greenland, re-accustom blacks to Labor ... It will not be easy.
          Trump now needs to arrest Soros (for organizing Kirk's murder) and start spinning the spiral of anti-liberal purge of the US from him. Because he is now facing a fork - either the British lobby will tear the US apart and plunge it into the chaos of a civil war and terror from perverts, or he will strike back and arrange for them an analogue of the purges of 1938. There is no need to be afraid of blood. Because the British have already shed blood. Including Trump's blood during the assassination attempt.
          Weed out the Liberal Democrats, purge the state apparatus and security forces, attract the People's Militia to help the Police and Army, annex Canada and Greenland, restructure the state as a new North American Empire, change the Constitution and weed out Europe, drown England for all their "goodness".

              So we won't be able to survive without support. "Relying on an alliance with the Global South" is a catastrophic utopia. We have essentially become a resource colony of China. Or as they say, "a younger sister." In the West of Europe, they are gnashing their teeth and preparing, in the Northern Black Sea region - Endless War. In the Far East, China is smiling in anticipation - everything is falling into its clutches, and its enemies are destroying and weakening each other. China lacks empathy, and is not suitable for an alliance, much less friendship. In the global south - the Indians and the Islamic world... And what is this "Islamic world" doing in our Russian cities? Who is it in Russia and the WA that is creating caliphates? Who is supervising and financing the import of Wahhabis? The Saudis? And what is the Saudi dynasty like and what blood is it made of? The name is more than a thing, blood is above the name.
              With such a policy, it’s worse than “like under Nicholas II.”
              There is a way out, but no one is looking for it.

              The only example of genuine success in the development of the country is ignored by us. Its economic model, created according to the programs of the Slavophiles, is not studied. Framing and reckless propaganda are like anesthesia for a patient on his deathbed.
              The experience of True Success thanks to the alliance of Stalin and Roosevelt... does anyone even realize it? That Industrialization in 10 years and the USSR's entry into the Second World Economy in 1940 became possible thanks to supplies from the USA (almost 80%, supplies from Germany amounted to 18%). And the role of Lend-Lease is usually hushed up here, although the figures speak for themselves. If Roosevelt had not been killed by British agents from his entourage on the very eve of Victory, the post-war world would have looked completely different.
              But we did manage to carry out the British Empire and the World Colonial System together, even after the death of Roosevelt and Stalin, according to previously drawn up plans and agreements. THIS was a real example of Success. And we should remember such examples from our own History. Because now in the USA we have a New Roosevelt. And who do we have in the Kremlin? Maybe that is why we have such successes? Maybe we should turn to historical examples of Success for experience? Maybe instead of the fascist Ilyin we should raise Aksakov to the Banner? And Sharapov - as the author of the programs of our economic, social and political successes?

      In fact, China has an export-oriented economy - it sells much more than it buys, which irritates Trump.

      China's foreign trade balance is positive and has a large surplus, amounting to US$2024 trillion in 6,16, up 3,8% from the previous year. The surplus also remained high in the first months of 2025, reaching US$171 billion in January-February and US$102,64 billion in March.

      China is the world's largest exporter, exporting almost as much goods as the second- and third-placed US and Germany combined. A trade disruption would hit the Chinese economy hard, though of course Europe and the US would suffer too.

            The high cost of labor in the US is partly offset by the cheapness of energy resources. The same gas is almost 5 times cheaper than in Europe. And in China, gas is mainly purchased. Oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy in the US are their own. They largely buy uranium and fuel assemblies, but they can restore everything themselves, and in the transition period, insure themselves with supplies from the Russian Federation. Simply by eliminating the policy of confrontation. Today, we have nothing to share with them, their main enemies and opponents are China and Europe with England.

If he went crazy with the imposition of "green energy" and other madness and scams? 4 years to carry out such serious restructuring of the economy request It won't be enough.

        To degrease - yes. To take away money and production - yes.
        Split into Old and Eastern - yes. And everything will be fast. 3-5 years.

    Trump called on the EEC to refuse trade not only with China, but also with India. This would be a real disaster for Europe. The Eurogays will not take such a step. Trump understands this too. Apparently, this was such a subtle hint from his side so that the Eurobeggars would stop demanding new actions from him against Russia.

      The difference is that Karabas really "hurt". And Europe today feels that it can "fly" in response, and not at all what it would like. Actually, that is why they cannot make a decision on our frozen reserves in three years. Brussels, not being an economic entity, can afford to shower threats, but national governments will have to answer for this EU voluntarism practically. Because their assets and the assets of their citizens are under threat in Russia.

A data center in a coal mine, a nuclear power plant with 4 reactors, a mini nuclear power plant and Rolls Royce should share its know-how with the USA.

    occurs in accordance with the norms of international law and cannot give rise to any complaints

    Since the bombing of Yugoslavia, there is no longer any international law. The US is trying to impose the "rule" on the world: "He who has more ̶p̶r̶a̶v̶ arrogance and AUG is right." The only way to overcome this American "lawlessness" is for the BRICS countries to create their own payment system that does not use the dollar as a means of settlement and/or payment and is not controlled by the US.

Or at least a KUG with an air defense aircraft carrier (how can we miss Kuzya?). Probably China, India, Britain are churning them out of their fat-headedness??? No. They are building a fleet capable of countering AUGs and KUGs.

Without this, they are screwed, the States will want to bring oil and gas, and if they need to put pressure, they can change their minds. But normal states do not want to bend to the wishes of the striped ones, even if they shout into microphones.

    So how will China respond, other than another final Chinese warning? China's economy is export-oriented, and being denied access to the European or American markets will bring it to its knees, if not kill it. And being denied both will definitely kill it. And the Chinese elite, which numbers in the hundreds of millions, is accustomed to consuming European and American luxury goods, and will not be happy with the prospect of switching to Chinese consumer goods.

          If even the North Korean elite can afford Mercedes and Rolexes, the Chinese will certainly find a way to get what they want. In Moscow, they are now somehow buying Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga.
          The second option is that the elite will find a way to do without Euro-American luxury. As, for example, it was in the USSR. It is a question of political will, propaganda and discipline.
