China threatened with tough sanctions if it “invades” Taiwan

Switzerland to impose sanctions on China if it ‘invades’ Taiwan

If China “invades” Taiwan, it will be subject to sanctions, said Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch, head of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economics (SECO). She noted that in this case, the PRC expects restrictions that will become more stringent than those that were adopted against Russia due to the special operation in Ukraine.

The words of Inaichen-Fleisch were published by the newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

“I strongly believe that we will accept such sanctions,” she said. According to her, the restrictions will be tougher than against Russia. “Economic relations are much more significant,” explained the head of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.

Western countries impose sanctions against states that irritate them, said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He explained that China could be subject to the next restrictions after Russia.
