Western countries cannot hold back the development of China, they need to realize this. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the annual large press conference, which is broadcast on YouTube by TASS.

The Russian leader recalled that today, in terms of purchasing power parity, the Chinese economy is larger than the US economy. “The 35th year, the 50th, will pass, and China will inevitably become the first economy in the world in all other respects,” he predicted.
