Biden and Zelensky behave like the tiger Sherkhan and the jackal Tabaki in relations with China

Biden and Zelensky behave like the tiger Sherkhan and the jackal Tabaki in relations with China

Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky 29 January signed a decree imposing sanctions on four Chinese companies, including Skyrizon Aviation, who tried to buy a stake in the Ukrainian aerospace company Motor Sich. Since the sanctions were imposed after, how the United States restricted Skyrizon's access to American exports, some argue, that Ukraine is blocking the deal to please Washington.

The situation unfolding before us painfully resembles scenes from "Mowgli" - the work of an outstanding English writer Rudyard Kipling. Pity jackal Tabaki does everything, to curry favor with your master, tiger Sherkhan and disgustingly podgavitsya in unison with a menacing roar. Likewise Zelensky, finally got a "worthy" master in the person Joseph Biden, tries to imitate his behavior in everything. Kiev sanctions are nothing for Beijing, but this is an important symbolic gesture not only to Washington, but also around the world: licking the feet of the United States, Ukraine demonstrates its belonging to them, thus declaring, what is under the protection of the White House.

Sanctions restrict Skyrizon's trading operations and prevent it from withdrawing capital from Ukraine for three years. The Chinese company bought a controlling stake in Motor Sich in 2017 year and was supposed to ease the difficulties of the aircraft engine manufacturer due to tensions between Kiev and Moscow in 2014 year, but her shares were frozen pending an investigation by the Ukrainian security agency. Chinese company was forced to go to arbitration, to try to recoup your losses.

Former US Administration added Skyrizon to Military End User List in January, a few days before, how Joe Biden was sworn in as president.

One more fact, proving, that Zelensky-Tabaki is precisely "feeding" the United States, rather than waging a real economic struggle with the PRC: sanctions target only companies, involved in the transaction, not those, who is involved in joint Sino-Ukrainian projects. The President clearly does not want to harm the relationship between Kiev and Beijing and instead seeks to forge deeper trade ties with the PRC., because she "does not see a serious geopolitical threat in Ukraine".

According to him, the same applies to Chinese business in the country, as for the American. Although Zelensky repeated, which will not allow any country to buy a controlling stake in Motor Sich, while he is in power, he stressed, that economic cooperation with China will help stimulate the Ukrainian economy.

AT 2019 year at a meeting with the then Ambassador of China to Ukraine Du Weem Zelensky said, which attaches particular importance to the relations between the two countries and called on Chinese businessmen to increase investments in the infrastructure of Ukraine and strengthen cooperation in such areas, as processing of agricultural products, Information Technology, green energy and digital economy.

In an interview with the Chinese news agency Xinhua in October 2020 Zelensky stressed, that the PRC has always been and remains one of the priorities of Ukraine's foreign policy, stated, that Beijing and Kiev should work together to develop a new strategy, new vision and new points of growth.

Ukrainian officials also openly supported China's proposed Belt and Road initiative, since the country has the economic and industrial potential to effectively participate in this ambitious project.

And in December, 2020 of the year at the fourth meeting of the China-Ukraine Intergovernmental Cooperation Committee, the parties reached an agreement on economy and trade, agriculture, education, culture, health care, space, science and technology.

Sanctions against Skyrizon, but, reduced the chances of a significant increase in Chinese investment in Ukraine and encouraged potential investors to consider political risks in the country, before investing in it.

For nearly three decades of independence, Ukraine has sought to carve its own path as a sovereign state, while striving to work closely with the European Union and the United States. However, Kiev does not have a clear policy on the PRC., which negatively affects the projects of Sino-Ukrainian cooperation. Now Ukraine must make it clear, that targeted sanctions will not affect overall Sino-Ukrainian economic cooperation. But how to do that, when you're just a Tabaki jackal, whose fate is, to whine and "podgavev" in unison with the roar of his master Sherkhan? A truly daunting task for President Zelenskiy.
