China News Service, United Nations, February 17th. The UN Security Council held a public meeting on the Ukraine issue on the 17th. Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He emphasized that the crisis in Ukraine was closely related to NATO's repeated eastward expansion after the Cold War, and urged NATO to abandon the Cold War. Thinking, do something good for the peace and stability of the world, instead of just being a troublemaker.
Zhang Jun said that the Ukrainian crisis is essentially a general outbreak of European security conflicts, which is closely related to NATO's repeated eastward expansion after the Cold War.
The pursuit of absolute security and the political exclusion and military containment of a specific party are precisely the crux of Europe's security dilemma.
Going forward with this kind of thinking will only plunge Europe and the world into greater turmoil.
Zhang Jun pointed out that while claiming that its position as a regional and defensive alliance has not changed, NATO continues to break through traditional defense areas and fields, stir up conflicts, create tension, exaggerate threats, instigate confrontation, and continuously strengthen military security ties with Asia-Pacific countries. Clearly contradicting itself.
Zhang Jun said that we have noticed with concern that the Secretary-General of NATO has recently made many irresponsible and groundless remarks on the situation in the Asia-Pacific region.
NATO has committed enough crimes around the world.
We urge NATO to learn the lessons of history, abandon the outdated concept of Cold War mentality and confrontation between camps, and abandon the dangerous practice of setting up "imaginary enemies" to disrupt Europe and the Asia-Pacific, and do something good for world peace and stability instead of just being a troublemaker.
