WASHINGTON -- American efforts to build a multinational coalition to restrain China are "counterproductive" and threaten global security and stability, Anatoly Antonov, Russia's ambassador to the U.S., told Nikkei.

"Russia, for its part, will never participate in coalitions against third countries, including China," the ambassador said in a written interview.
