The Chinese Foreign Ministry has voiced strong opposition to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) actions in the Asia-Pacific region. Spokesperson Lin Jian criticized NATO for stepping beyond its role as a regional defensive alliance and accused the organization of provoking conflict and undermining the region's prosperity and stability.
Speaking at a regular press briefing during NATO's 75th anniversary summit in Washington, D.C., Lin emphasized the importance of peace, stability, and security in the Asia-Pacific. He urged NATO to focus on contributing positively to world peace and stability rather than stoking tensions.
This stance highlights China's broader concerns about the increasing involvement of international military alliances in the Asia-Pacific, a region crucial for global trade and economic growth. China calls for cooperative efforts to maintain harmony and prevent conflicts in this vital part of the world.
