Ukraine is involved in the Sino-US struggle, and the incident has become more intriguing. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky changed his tone after sanctioning relevant Chinese companies and individuals on the Chinese-funded acquisition of Ukrainian aircraft engine manufacturer Motor Sich. Zelensky said that China is not a geopolitical threat and he does not agree with the United States. But he insisted that he would not let China buy Motor Sich. The analysis believes that Zelensky tried to diverge between China and the United States, but there is a risk that both sides will not please.
Zelensky responded in an exclusive interview with the American media Axios and asked how he sees Washington’s political circles gradually having a consensus that China is the number one geopolitical threat:
“I can’t agree with this view, because Ukraine doesn’t think so. There is really a kind of cold war between China and the United States. We know that US commercial interests are represented in Ukraine, but at the same time, it is true that China’s commercial interests are represented. .”
Zelensky continued:
“I believe that regardless of nationality and race, as long as people, companies or countries respect you, respect your people and borders, they can appear in your country.”
But regarding the Chinese acquisition of Motor Sich, Zelensky stated:
“I won’t allow China or other countries to buy. Never. I won’t be in my post. I won’t be here for my entire life, but as long as I’m in power, I will definitely not allow it.”
Ukraine began to receive U.S. military assistance from Russia in 2014 because of the Crimea issue, but at the same time it maintains friendly relations with China. However, with the acquisition of Motor Sich by Chinese company Beijing Tianjiao in recent years, Ukraine has become a struggle between China and the United States. The Trump administration of the United States has pressured Ukraine to prevent China from acquiring aero engine technology. Zelensky suddenly announced the sanctions against Beijing Tianjiao and related companies and individuals, when Biden had just taken office, which is particularly concerning.
The Axios article pointed out that the United States tried to pull Zelensky away from China, but there were not many bargaining chips at its disposal. “Beijing is crushing Washington in terms of vaccine diplomacy.” Zelensky tried to get a US vaccine for Ukraine, and he also asked the European Union for help, but given the difficulties he faced, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with Beijing for the Ukrainian people. Strive for a large number of safe new crown vaccines.
Axios said Zelensky’s attitude towards China is a major pain point in the relationship between the United States and Ukraine. Trump administration officials have privately expressed their “concern” to China’s investment in Ukraine’s telecommunications and other fields, and China has also become Ukraine’s largest trading partner in 2019. However, China never condemned Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and Zelensky knew that China could not be relied on on the issue of Ukraine and Russia.
