China News Service, Beijing, April 11 (Reporter Zhang Su Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on the 11th.

　　A reporter asked: During the NATO Foreign Ministers' Meeting held from April 6 to 7, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg accused China of not having the will to condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine, saying that China's approach is to join Russia in questioning a sovereign state self-determination, posing a serious challenge to NATO.

The NATO 2030 Strategic Concept Paper will, for the first time, consider the systemic challenges to the security of democracies posed by China's growing global influence and coercive policies.

What is China's comment?

　　Zhao Lijian: For a period of time, NATO leaders have disregarded the facts, confounded right and wrong, and kept making groundless accusations and smearing attacks on China, making rash comments on China's foreign policy, and promoting the "China threat theory".

Recently, China has been coerced, and China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this, and has lodged solemn representations with NATO on many occasions.

　　As a product of the Cold War and the world's largest military alliance, NATO has long adhered to its 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 has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order, and will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development.

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.
