WP: American politicians are obsessed with the idea of ​​a cold war with China and Russia

According to her, the "frantic obsession" with this idea reached new heights after the escalation around Taiwan.

“The resurrected Cold Warriors argue that the deployment of US troops around China and Russia is defensive in nature,” Heuwel said.

She admitted that the Cold War was a comfort zone for the US.

Earlier, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said that the PRC urges the United States to respect Beijing's vital interests and give up illusions about using Taiwan to control China.

The Kremlin noted that tensions after the visit of the speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan will not subside quickly.

Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui called on the United States to confirm in practice that it adheres to the "one China" principle and does not support Taiwan's independence.
