Abstract

Financial warfare, involving conflicts in currency exchange, trade, and investment, represents a non-violent means of economically pressuring adversaries and seizing wealth. Following the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict, where Russia has taken various measures to counter the severe financial sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe, China finds itself at a critical juncture in its economic and social development. External powers are intensifying their efforts to restrain and suppress China. It is essential to maintain a clear understanding of the need to fortify China’s economic security and development, learn from past experiences, explore the underlying mechanisms, and comprehensively implement preventive measures to strengthen China’s economic security and development and effectively address potential financial warfare in the future.
