The economist did not rule out that the United States could take some of the investments from China

Under the pretext of China's guilt in distributing coronavirus, the United States may take away part of the assets from China. This was reported to the correspondent by the president of the Russian-Asian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RPF) Vitaly Mankevich. Commenting on the decision of the PRC in response to US sanctions to sell off 20% of its US debt portfolio, the economist did not rule out that in this way Beijing is trying to insure its assets. Undoubtedly, China for several years managed to study this experience of Russia and adopt it. It is possible that Beijing, based on some of its own data, for no reason fears the loss of its money and assets, Washington may well implement the scenario of the Chinese Yukos, taking away from the PRC their investments under the pretext of compensation for the coronavirus crisis. It was not for nothing that Donald Trump stated that the Chinese government was guilty of starting a coronacrisis because of the negligent reaction to the outbreak of a pandemic in his country and an attempt to hide all information about it from the world public, Mankevich said. Thus, the trial with Beijing and the possible freezing of Chinese investments in the American public debt can be an excellent way to punish the PRC and at the same time maintain the US business reputation as a reliable borrower, the head of the RPF believes.
