Wang Wenbin: We noticed related reports. The United States is a veritable sanctions. According to statistics, US sanctions increased by 933%from 2000 to 2021. As of now, the United States has imposed economic sanctions on nearly 40 countries in the world, and nearly half of the world's population has been affected, causing serious humanitarian disasters. The previous government of the United States has implemented more than 3,900 sanctions, which is equivalent to the average "sanctions stick" of three times a day. US media pointed out that sanctions have become the first choice for foreign policies.

Over the past few decades, the United States has imposed unilateral sanctions on Cuba, Belarus, Syria, Zimbabwe and other countries, and increased "pressure on North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and other countries. The U.S. side ignores the purpose and principles of the United Nations Charter and the principles of international law. Power, challenging self -determination, and damage to development, constitute the sustainability, systemic, and large -scale violations of human rights.

At present, the United States is experiencing the worst inflation in 40 years, and domestic prices are high, and the public has suffered a huge economic burden. In today's globalization, U.S. decision makers should conscientiously reflect on the anti -phase effect caused by the United States' unilateral sanctions on the United States itself. Do not do things that harm others.

It is a common consensus to cooperate not to fight against, multi -sides not to be unilateral, united, and not split. The United States should carefully listen to the voices of justice in the international community, stop the hegemony of unilateral sanctions, and effectively play a constructive role for promoting world peace and development.
