According to Observer website , despite China’s warning, NATO “new” strategy towards China was recently released. NATO disclosed to Western media that its new strategy towards China will describe China as a "systemic challenge" but will cooperate with China in directions of common interests. Before the joint statement of the NATO summit was released, NATO disclosed the relevant contents of the "new strategy towards China". This approach is undoubtedly an "early disclosure" method to exaggerate the public opinion against China as much as possible.
NATO officials also made excuses for NATO's eastward expansion and threatened that the northern hemisphere north of the Tropic of Cancer is under NATO's jurisdiction and is within NATO's military scope. There is no distinction between east and west, and the east is no exception. The official's remarks blurred the basic definition of " North Atlantic Treaty Organization " at the beginning of the establishment of NATO. NATO is a regional military organization in the North Atlantic region. However, with the help of US hegemony, today's NATO is trying to Global expansion around China. NATO has become the biggest threat to global security.
NATO was established with the outbreak of the Cold War . The nature of its military group is very clear. After the end of the Cold War, NATO began to transform from its self-proclaimed defensive mechanism to an offensive mechanism in order to continuously expand eastward and directly target Russia's strategic hinterland. Due to historical reasons, if NATO expands eastward to Ukraine , the strategic core areas including Russia's capital Moscow will directly face NATO forces. This situation not only threatens Russia's actual security but also stings Russia's history Moscow Defense War The sensitive nerves waiting for the tragic war. If NATO's recent expansion attempt in the direction of Finland is completed, Finland's capital Helsinki and Russia's northwest central city St. Petersburg will also be "across the Baltic Sea."
Under such circumstances, Russia used special military operations to resist NATO's eastward expansion in Ukraine, while Turkey , which had deep rifts with the United States and Britain, blocked Finland and Sweden from joining NATO within NATO.
When the momentum of eastward expansion has been sniped, NATO should have stopped its expansion. However, whether NATO will formally introduce a "new strategic goal" to promote China as a so-called "systemic challenge", or whether it will invite Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand to the NATO summit for the first time. The gathering of the four Asia-Pacific countries is showing NATO's global expansion ambitions. With Eastern and Northern Europe suffering successive setbacks, NATO will conduct a new round of expansion in the Asia-Pacific, which will inevitably lead to greater failure.
As China's comprehensive national power continues to increase, Ukraine and Finland are unable to join NATO, and Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand also have no chance to join NATO. NATO is a product of the radiation of US military hegemony. With the overall national strength and military hegemony of the United States declining, It is normal for NATO's influence to decline accordingly. The United States is bucking the trend and promoting NATO expansion. It is more likely that with the strategic counterattacks of China and Russia, US hegemony will fall into a faster decline.
In fact, there has been a quarrel within the NATO mechanism to determine the wording of the joint statement at the NATO summit. The United States, Britain and Canada and other countries advocated that NATO should identify China as a so-called "strategic threat" in the new strategy. European countries such as Germany and France It advocates that a moderate tone should be adopted based on Europe's consistent strategy towards China. NATO also has serious differences when defining Sino-Russian relations . European countries generally refuse to adopt an attitude toward China similar to hostility toward Russia in the context of the United States. South Korea has repeatedly explained that South Korea has no intention of being hostile to China regarding its President's attendance at the NATO summit. South Korean people have erupted in multiple rounds of protests against NATO's expansion in the Asia-Pacific. This situation clearly shows that NATO's global expansion driven by the United States is not fulfilling its purpose. With the decline of U.S. national power, the "team" has become increasingly difficult to manage.
When looking at the incident of NATO's eastward expansion, we should see that hard power is the only indicator in the game between great powers. The United States uses NATO expansion to decorate its hegemony, but when the United States' hard power cannot support its unilateral interests around the world, , NATO cannot be the breakthrough point for US hegemony to achieve a "comeback". As China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has long stated: NATO, as a product of the Cold War, should have been thrown into the garbage heap of history as the era of global multipolarity is approaching.
