NATO's aggression behind pro-peace veneer
China DailyChina has increasingly become a scapegoat for some in the West to cover up their failure to resolve the Ukraine crisis, if not an excuse for them to advance certain parties' geopolitical schemes. NATO and the European Union are ramping up efforts to pressure China to stop its "assistance" to Russia, and help get the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to stop its support to Russia for its "special military operation" in Ukraine. That both North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the EU have stepped up their collusion with and sealed certain forms of security pacts with such Asia-Pacific countries as Japan and the Republic of Korea citing "common threats" from other regional countries should be regarded as a political lever that these forces want to use to press China to do their bidding on the Ukraine crisis. Neither NATO nor the EU, or their common ally across the Atlantic, has provided any substantial evidence to support their claim that China is providing "military assistance" to Russia. The haste with which the new NATO chief inherited the mantle of his predecessor in trying to weld together the transatlantic and the "Indo-Pacific" alliance networks using made-in-China welding rods clearly indicates the real motive is not to resolve the conflicts but to make China part of them as "a decisive enabler", "a potential accomplice" and then "a real threat".
