Russian and Chinese people cannot be subjugated yet West still continues 'to try to bend everyone to their will' - Lavrov

" Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia and China could not be 'subjugated' by the West, which seeks to 'bend everyone to their will' with sanctions, during an interview with Shanghai Media Group in Moscow on Wednesday. "If the West, the capitalists, have suddenly decided that they will impose sanctions, stop buying certain goods from China, or stop selling certain goods to Russia, and that the economies of China and the Russian Federation will face insurmountable problems - that is a delusion. It is, of course, impossible to subjugate such powers and peoples as the Russian and Chinese, yet [in the West] they continue to try to bend everyone to their will. So we are on the right track," he said. Lavrov said China was Russia’s main business partner and described the countries’ relationship as a stabilising force in global affairs. "The People’s Republic of China has already become the world’s leading economy. Russia is the world’s fourth-largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity. <...> Our presence, together with you, our Chinese friends, among the 'top five' rapidly developing nations, in itself creates an advantage and ensures the stability of each of our countries and of our relations," Lavrov stated. The Russian foreign minister also said countries that had previously been pressured by Western powers were increasingly reducing their reliance on the dollar as a reserve currency. He pointed to groupings including BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Eurasian Economic Union, ASEAN, the African Union and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, saying they were now 'outplaying' Western powers at their own game.
