US security adviser says hard line on Russia is needed to dissuade China from similar moves
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Thursday that the US was standing firm against Russia and its invasion of Ukraine to dissuade “would-be aggressors” like China from taking similar actions.
“If the United States let [Russia’s invasion of Ukraine] stand without challenge or check, it would send a message to other would-be aggressors, including China, that they could do the same thing,” Sullivan said.
