China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi says U.S. wants ‘Indo-Pacific NATO’

The Hindu  

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday accused the United States of trying to build an “Indo-Pacific NATO” using the Quad and its allies, and said “some forces” were seeking to “stoke tensions” between China and India as well as “sow discord” between China and Russia. Mr. Wang, in his annual press conference along the sidelines of China’s National People’s Congress or Parliament in Beijing, also described China-Russia relations as “one of the most crucial bilateral relations in the world” and as being “rock solid”. India-China ties On the state of India-China relations, Mr. Wang acknowledged that “relations encountered setbacks in recent years, which do not serve the fundamental interest of two countries and people” and called for “relations to move forward on the right track to bring more benefits to our peoples and make greater contribution to the region and the world”. We hope India will work with China to uphold the strategic consensus that the two countries pose no threat to each other and offer development opportunities to each other, continue to build mutual trust, avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation so that we will be partners for mutual success rather than adversaries for mutual attrition.” While Mr. Wang implicitly appeared to be blaming the U.S. for “stoking tensions” with India and “sowing discord” with Russia, Indian officials see the downturn in India-China relations as being largely caused by China’s actions along the Line of Actual Control since April 2020.
