The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) shouldn’t expect future claims to sovereignty to carry any weight with the international community if Beijing continues to undermine the sovereignty of Ukraine, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

“Whatever China’s geopolitical aims and strategies, we see no benign interpretation of Russia’s invasion nor of its consequences for the international order,” Yellen said during an address to the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank.
