　　China News Agency, Brussels, March 24. The spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the European Union responded to the content of the NATO special summit on China on the 24th, emphasizing that it firmly opposes relevant statements and remarks to impose coercion and pressure on China. NATO should reflect on itself and completely abandon the Cold War mentality. .

　　A reporter asked, the statement of the special NATO summit that day called on all countries, including China, to uphold the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity established by the UN Charter, maintain the international order, and not support the "war" launched by Russia or help Russia evade relevant sanctions. NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg reiterated the above position after the meeting. What is China's comment?

　　The spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the European Union emphasized that the relevant statements and remarks of NATO and its leaders have made groundless accusations and suspicions against China, and exerted coercion and pressure on China, which China firmly opposes.

Since the Ukrainian crisis broke out, China, in an objective and fair manner, has made positive efforts to persuade peace and promote talks, cease fire and stop war, and prevent large-scale humanitarian crises, and played a constructive role. Time will prove that China stands on the right side of history. On the one hand, anyone without prejudice will draw unbiased conclusions.

　　The spokesperson pointed out that as a product of the Cold War and the world's largest military alliance, NATO upholds the old security concept, continues to expand regions and territories, and engages in camp confrontation with the "old Cold War" approach.

We must be highly vigilant and resolutely oppose the "new cold war", which is not in line with the trend of historical development and against the wishes of the people of the world.

　　The spokesman said that 23 years ago, NATO bombs fell on the Yugoslavia, causing thousands of casualties, including Chinese citizens, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. The lessons of history cannot be forgotten.

NATO should reflect on itself, completely abandon the Cold War mentality, and seek to build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security mechanism through dialogue and negotiation in accordance with the principle of indivisibility of security.
