CIA Director: Russia is becoming an economic colony of China
William Burns, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has stated that Russia is facing increasing international isolation and is at risk of becoming an economic colony of China.
He mentioned that Russia’s economic dependency on raw material exports and China’s emergence as the most important market for these exports are factors leading to Russia’s economy being under China’s control.
Following sanctions imposed by Western countries, Russia has become reliant on exporting its oil and gas to China at significant discounts, and with the ongoing war and shortage of equipment and weapons, it is seeking military assistance from China.
