Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on April 11.
Zhao Lijian said that as a product of the Cold War and the world's largest military alliance, NATO has long adhered to an old-fashioned security concept, engaged in camp confrontation with the "old Cold War" approach, and became a tool for individual countries to seek hegemony.
NATO keeps claiming that it is a "defensive organization", but in fact it is constantly creating confrontations and troubles.
NATO requires other countries to abide by the basic norms of international relations, but recklessly launches wars against sovereign countries and indiscriminately bombs, resulting in the death and displacement of innocent civilians; NATO is clearly a military organization in the North Atlantic, but in recent years, it has gone to the Asia-Pacific region to show off its power and stir up conflicts .
NATO continues to break through regions and fields, advocating a "new cold war" of group confrontation.
The international community should be highly vigilant and firmly opposed to this.
China's development is an opportunity for the whole world, not a threat to anyone.
NATO should immediately stop spreading untruths and provocative remarks against China, and abandon the confrontational approach that draws ideological lines.
NATO has already messed up Europe, stop trying to mess up Asia and mess up the whole world.
