At the 75th anniversary of NATO, held on July 10 in Washington D.C., leaders reaffirmed their commitment to support Ukraine amidst ongoing tensions with Russia. In a groundbreaking move, NATO issued a warning to the Chinese mainland regarding its alleged \"military aid\" to Russia used against Ukraine.
This unprecedented stance raises critical questions: Can the support pledged by NATO leaders effectively influence the Ukraine-Russia conflict? What is the Chinese mainland's response to the organization's warning?
Furthermore, discussions at the summit hinted at the possibility of NATO expanding its presence into the Asia-Pacific region. Such a move could significantly alter geopolitical dynamics in the area, particularly in relation to the Chinese mainland.
In this edition of Dialogue, experts Prof. Glenn Diesen from the University of South-Eastern Norway, Anton Fedyashin, Associate Professor at American University, and Warwick Powell from Queensland University of Technology and Taihe Institute, delve into these pressing issues, offering insights into the future trajectory of NATO and its global implications.
