A Chinese newspaper called the United States the culprit of sabotage at Nord Stream

“Europe will suffer the most for the actions of American saboteurs”

The Chinese edition of the Global Times tried to figure out who benefited from the undermining of Russian gas pipelines. According to its experts, the sabotage is beneficial to the United States.

“It is quite obvious who wanted to stop selling Russian energy resources to Europe all this time – the United States of America! With this sabotage, the American government fulfilled three important foreign policy tasks at once: it reduced Russia’s income from the sale of natural gas, increased its influence on European countries, and, among other things, received a good profit by increasing its own supply of energy resources to Europe at high prices, ”the newspaper quotes the blogger. Ming Jingwei.

Europe will suffer the most because of the actions of the US saboteurs. Wang Xiaoquan, an expert at the Institute of Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the publication: “The explosion will cause great damage to the economies of Germany and other European countries dependent on energy resources. When electricity prices rise, many companies will go bankrupt, while ordinary people will suffer from the cold after the winter comes.

Jin Lei, a professor at the China University of Petroleum, told the newspaper that after Russian gas supplies were cut off, it would be difficult for Europe to find a new supplier in such a short time.

The publication mentioned that the United States and European countries, as expected, began to suspect Russia of sabotage on the Nord Stream. Such a reaction is yet another evidence of the Russophobic foreign policy of these states.

The accusations reach the point of absurdity – Western media suggest that the blowing up of Russian gas pipelines was a warning to the recently opened Baltic gas pipeline, which supplies natural gas from Norway to Poland. For some reason, the European media do not answer the naturally arising question why Russia should destroy its own infrastructure, if it was possible to arrange sabotage on the Baltic gas pipeline itself, for some reason the European media does not answer, the Chinese edition draws attention.
