China says NATO ‘disturbs Europe’, warns of role in Asia-Pacific region (photos)

The British Minister Liz Truss yesterday reiterated the calls for further strengthening of NATO after the war in Ukraine and added that actions to isolate Russia show that access to the market of democratic countries should not be taken for granted.

Truss then issued a direct warning to China.

“Countries have to play by the rules. “And that includes China,” she said the British The Guardian.

But Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin rejected Truss’s comments and accused NATO of urging other countries to abide by basic norms, at a time when “wars are raging and bombs are being dropped on sovereign states, killing and displacing innocent civilians. “

“NATO, the military organization of the North Atlantic, has recently come to the Asia-Pacific region to establish its dictates and to provoke conflicts,” Wang said.

“NATO has disturbed Europe. “Is he trying now to disturb the Asian Pacific and perhaps the world?”

In her speech, the British Truss said that NATO should pursue pre-threats from the Asia-Pacific region and expand its focus to democracies outside the membership, such as Taiwan, which China says is a separate province that it must regain it. For this she said that China’s economy, already second in the world, could be targeted.

Truss added: “China will not continue to grow if it does not play by the rules, because it has to trade within the G7 group. “We represent half the global economy, and we have our choices.”

“We have shown Russia the choices we can make when international law is violated.”

China has refused to condemn the Russian attack on Ukraine, receiving criticism from European countries. At a recent China-EU war summit, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said Beijing would seek peace “in its own way.”

Wang said yesterday that China’s position on the conflict had been “clear and consistent.”

“We always make judgments based on the merits of the case,” he said, without elaborating.
