US State Department: Chinese missile threat is not the reason for leaving the INF Treaty
Washington with manic persistence is trying to make Moscow responsible for ending the INF Treaty. This time, on February 6, 2019, US Assistant Secretary of State Andrea Thompson made her inferences. She said that the reason for the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty lies solely in Russia's position, since China’s missile potential does not violate the framework of the agreement.
- said Thompson.
It should be noted that by recognizing the Chinese missile arsenal as the relevant INF Treaty, Washington will drive itself into a situation from which it will be very difficult for it to get out. After all, the Americans withdrew from the INF Treaty, just in order for the INF Treaty to appear in time, but with more participants than two. However, now it will become even more difficult for the Chinese to drag into such agreements. Beijing will definitely recall the above statement.
We remind you that on February 5, 2019, U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking with a message to Congress, said that the reason for the U.S. withdrawal from the INF Treaty was violations by Russia. However, he did not rule out the possibility of working out another similar agreement, but in which China would necessarily participate.
So it turns out that Washington did much harm to its far-reaching plans. After all, China will not forget this either in a year or in ten years. Moreover, many American dignitaries are well aware of this.
As for Moscow, she is absolutely indifferent to how long Washington will discuss her guilt. For Washington, the wine of Moscow is an axiom that does not require evidence. However, Moscow has a ton of questions for Washington, to which there were no and no answers. And until she receives these answers, there will be no dialogue.
The decision on the INF Treaty was made because of Russia and its failure to fulfill the treaty ... I admit that China has a decent arsenal, but it corresponds to the INF Treaty. Their systems comply with the standards of the INF Treaty
