BEIJING, July 03 (Saba) -China’s state news agency said NATO’s new strategic concept has exposed the intentions of the United States that it is seeking to exploit the military alliance to maintain its hegemony worldwide.
According to a commentary from the Xinhua news agency on Saturday, NATO has become a handy tool for the United States to contain other countries, particularly China and Russia.
It is clear NATO’s new strategic concept, covering the alliance's priorities and goals for the next 10 years, is actually designed to guide the 30-member bloc on how to serve to maintain American hegemony in the future, it said.
On Wednesday, NATO leaders officially declared Russia the “most significant and direct threat” to the security of its members in a document, titled Strategic Concept 2022, which defines the alliance’s strategic outlook for the next decade. It accused China of posing “systemic challenges” for the first time.
Beijing warned such self-serving intentions deserve high alert on the part of Europe and the Asia-Pacific.
In recent years, some NATO members have worked with the US to send planes and warships to China's adjacent waters for military operations. Yet the malicious intentions of the US and NATO's erroneous words and actions have aroused the vigilance of people of insight all over the world, who have publicly opposed the US-led NATO expansion to the Asia-Pacific region and called for strengthening cooperation with China.
