It's crazy every day! NATO has issued a deadly threat to China...
According to the BBC on June 17, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg claimed during his visit to the United States that if China "continues to support Russia's military operations", it will pay an "economic price".
As soon as these words came out, Chinese netizens were not calm: Isn't NATO a military organization? A military organization threatens to make someone else pay a financial price?
Stoltenberg's words, no matter how funny they sounded, are exactly the same as the choice question he gave China at the end of April: China can only "choose between the West and Russia", and if China wants to maintain good relations with the West, it must stop supporting Russia's war in Ukraine.
As for how China "supports" Russia's military operations? Stoltenberg once again noted that China is "adding fuel to the fire" of the conflict by supplying microelectronics and other key components to Russia.
It is true that China, as the world's second largest economy, has provided a great boost to the recovery and development of the Russian economy. But all this is based on normal trade between China and Russia.
Regarding this matter, the Chinese side stressed that no matter how many times it has explained, its mouth is almost bald, but the United States and NATO will always only believe in their own imagination.
To put it bluntly, NATO still suspects that China "supports" Russia without providing evidence, or because Ukraine is still unable to defeat Russia on the battlefield with large-scale military aid from NATO. Just like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can't take the Gaza Strip, it's up to Hamas to see who it is.
In particular, when the just-concluded Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland did not achieve obvious results, the United States and the West are anxiously looking for external causes to try to ease their own pressure. The United States and the West believe that as long as China cuts off economic and trade exchanges with Russia, Russia will naturally collapse.
China and Russia are not fools. On the surface, NATO has given China the "opportunity" to "choose one of the two", but in fact, its main purpose is to disrupt all cooperation between China and Russia, to drive a wedge between China and Russia, and to make China and Russia disperse from each other, so that they can be better broken one by one.
The hostility of the United States and NATO towards China is visible to the naked eye.
In threatening China, Stoltenberg put a giant hat on China's head, falsely claiming that China was "fueling the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II."
The fact is that since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO countries have provided hundreds of billions of dollars in economic and military assistance to Ukraine. What kind of face does NATO have to accuse China from the moral high ground?
Stoltenberg threatens China to pay an "economic price", but in essence, the United States and the West have already begun to act.
- In the 13th round of EU sanctions against Russia, the sanctions list involves more than 200 entities and individuals linked to Russia, including three Chinese mainland companies.
- In the joint communiqué issued at the end of the G7 summit a few days ago, China was mentioned 28 times, calling China "the savior of Russia's war machine", and the G7 is considering sanctions against Chinese financial institutions that help Russia evade sanctions.
- On the 17th, Stoltenberg also delivered a speech at the Wilson Center, a US think tank, continuing to advocate sanctions against China.
Are the US-NATO threats useful?
At present, the strategic mutual trust between China and Russia has reached an unprecedented height. China and Russia not only have strong economic complementarity, but also serve as each other's strategic depth and strategic rear in terms of security, and the close relations between China and Russia are very conducive to strategic stability in the Asia-Pacific region and the world.
According to the website of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee on June 18, Liu Jianchao, director of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee, led a team to visit Vladivostok, Russia, and met with political parties from many countries. During this period, he also inspected the Russian maritime port of Vladivostok, and both China and Russia expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation.
What China wants to do is China's own business, and China's foreign policy will never be interfered with or influenced by any third party. As for the United States and NATO still wanting to attack China, China will also take countermeasures. The pigs in the EU are an example!
