UN, Jul 14 Chinese Ambassador to the UN Zhang Jun accused NATO is in all troubles, since it is the alliance that is trying to expand its influence.
«»NATO is a product of the Cold War, supporting the specter of the Cold War. Vilnius hosted the NATO summit. We heard familiar statements from the Cold War and ideological confrontation. The final communiqué made baseless accusations against China. China strongly rejects such insinuations,» Zhang Jun said.
In a statement by the leaders of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance following the results of the first day of the summit in Vilnius (July 11-12), it was said that the deepening of partnership between China and Russia is contrary to the values and interests of the alliance. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin responded by urging NATO to stop baseless accusations against Beijing, «abandon the erroneous concept of the Cold War mentality and the erroneous approach of striving for absolute security.»
«NATO has gone beyond the geographic boundaries that were originally envisaged, and now plans to project its power on the entire planet. However, such actions have a negative impact on regional security,» he stressed.
According to him, NATO is constantly increasing military spending, trying to expand its power and provoking confrontations. NATO challenges the international order by preaching rules while violating the norms that define international relations by intervening in internal affairs, fueling wars, imposing unacceptable sanctions, killing civilians.
«Therefore, the real culprit of all troubles is none other than NATO. The accusations that NATO puts forward against China are absolutely groundless. China is striving for global peace,» he said.
