Xinhua News Agency, Washington, September 21st: The Western error narrative is "extremely dangerous" -the visits to the well -known American economist Jeffrey Sax

Xinhua News Agency reporter Xiong Maoling

In writing an interview with Xinhua News Agency, a well -known American economist Jeffrey Saxak said that the wrong narrative of China and Russia in the West is "extremely dangerous". Essence

Saxo is the director of the Sustainable Development Center of Columbia and a professor of economics. He served as a special consultant to the United Nations Secretary -General from 2001 to 2018, and is currently the head of the UN sustainable development solution network.

Sax pointed out that the core concept of the United States is that China and Russia "try to erode the security and prosperity of the United States. But ironic is that in the past few decades, the United States has launched and participated in many overseas wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Panama, and South League, but China and Russia have not.

Saxia reviewed that Western media sold their fears to the Western public by manipulating the facts to China and Russia. During the Syrian war, Western media was full of accusations on military assistance to Russia to Syrian President Bashar Assad, but did not report that the United States has supported the overthrow of the Bashar government since the war. As early as Russia's intervention, the US Central Intelligence Agency funded a major action to overthrow the Syrian government.

Sax believes that the core of all this is: the United States tries to curb or defeat China and Russia by expanding its military alliances around the world to maintain its world hegemony. This is a dangerous, vain and outdated idea. The United States should have recognized the true source of security, that is, the internal social cohesion and the cooperation with the responsible with countries around the world, instead of the fantasy of hegemony. Only by revising foreign policies in accordance with this standard can the United States and its allies and their countries jointly face many environmental, energy, food and social development challenges.
