"At last week’s NATO summit, the members issued a final statement criticising
China’s coercive policies, which they said challenge the interests, security
and values of the bloc.
The NATO members did, however, commit to “constructive engagement” with the
rapidly rising superpower.
Beijing reacted strongly to the statement nonetheless. It accused the alliance
of “smearing and lying” about China and warned against NATO’s outreach efforts
in the Asia-Pacific.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in blunt terms:
NATO must abandon the outdated Cold War mentality and zero-sum mindset,
renounce its blind faith in military might and misguided practice of seeking
absolute security, halt the dangerous attempt to destabilise Europe and the
Asia-Pacific and stop finding pretext for its continuous expansion."
