Putin Condemns Trump‘s Approach to China and India as Echoing Colonialism
BEIJING – Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a strong rebuke of former US President Donald Trump’s policies towards China and India, asserting that the tactics employed resembled those of a bygone colonial era. The statement came during a press conference in Beijing following commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Putin argued that attempts to pressure major economic powers like China and India thru threats of economic hardship are inappropriate and fail to recognize thier past experiences. He emphasized that both nations have endured periods of colonialism and sustained attacks on their sovereignty, forging resilience and independent paths to growth.
“You no, when people from outside say, ‘We will make it difficult for you and punish you…’ How are the leaders of these countries – grate economic strengths that have gone through difficult times in their history, the times of colonialism and attacks on their sovereignty over a long period of history - supposed to react to that?” Putin stated, according to reports from Russian state media.
The Russian President underscored that China and India possess robust domestic political systems and legal frameworks, suggesting external attempts to dictate policy are both ineffective and disrespectful. He implicitly rejected the notion that external powers have the right to impose punitive measures on sovereign nations.
putin’s comments reflect a broader Russian narrative of challenging perceived Western dominance in international affairs and advocating for a multipolar world order. This stance ofen positions Russia as a defender of national sovereignty against what it views as undue external interference.
