NATO allies on Wednesday called China a “decisive enabler” in Russia’s war against Ukraine, highlighting Beijing’s extensive support for Russia’s defense capabilities. The alliance’s final communiqué, approved by its 32 members at their summit in Washington, formally underscores its growing concern about China’s expanding military arsenal, space activities, and the broader threat posed by its partnership with Russia.
In their most serious rebuke against Beijing, NATO allies on Wednesday called China a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine and expressed concerns over Beijing’s nuclear arsenal and its capabilities in space.
The sternly worded final communiqué, approved by the 32 NATO members at their summit in Washington, makes clear that China is becoming a focus of the military alliance. The European and North American members and their partners in the Indo-Pacific increasingly see shared security concerns coming from Russia and its Asian supporters, especially China.
Beijing insists that it does not provide direct military aid to Russia but has maintained strong trade ties with its northern neighbor throughout the conflict.
He said it was the first time all NATO allies have stated this so clearly in an agreed document.
