China tells NATO to Stop ‘escalating’ Threats

Nato has issued its strongest statement yet on China’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict yesterday, accusing Beijing of being an “effective enabler” for Russia.

This prompted an angry response from the Chinese delegation to the EU, which called on Nato to “stop increasing the so-called Chinese threat, provoking confrontation and competition”.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Lin Jian, said today that the alliance has been defaming his country with “false information”.

China also told Nato to stay away from the Asia-Pacific region, saying the alliance’s efforts to strengthen military and security ties with China’s neighbors are undermining the country’s interests, as well as peace and stability in the region.

The comments come as Beijing conducts military exercises with Belarus, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has used as a prelude to his invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
