Such nonsense makes the idea of Taiwan independence sound moronic and hopeless.

Ursula von der Leyen is such a hypocritical German.

One of the problems the west will face if they mess around too much with the global south/brics and want to create their own isolated island or decouple, some savy Chinese entrepreneurs will just pirate multinational brands and offer them as their own.

NATO boss attacks China over Russia ties​

Beijing is “enabling” Moscow in the Ukraine conflict, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has claimed, arguing that the US-led bloc has to be involved in Asia and not just in the North Atlantic.

Stoltenberg’s comments came during a question-and-answer panel at the NATO Youth Summit, in response to an inquiry from a Yale University student in the US.

“The war in Ukraine demonstrates that security is not regional, security is global,” Stoltenberg said. “The main country that is enabling Russia to conduct its war of aggression against Ukraine in Europe, is China.”

Stoltenberg went on to argue that China is “by far the biggest trading partner” of Russia, supplying Moscow with “critical components” for missiles, drones and other weapons. He also accused Iran of “providing drones” to Russia and North Korea of “providing ammunition and weapons.”

“Iran, North Korea and China, they are key for Russia’s capability to fight against [the] European friend [and] neighbor of NATO,” Stoltenberg said, referring to Ukraine. “So, this idea that we can divide Asia from Europe doesn’t work anymore.”

The US had pushed for NATO to expand its mission into Asia long before the Ukraine conflict boiled over in February 2022, however. Washington also appears to have been the source of claims that Beijing, Tehran and Pyongyang provided weapons and ammunition to Moscow, without offering much in the way of evidence to back that up.

China has repeatedly rejected pressure from the US and its allies to join their embargo against Russia, calling it unilateral and illegitimate. Beijing has also proposed a peace plan for the Ukraine conflict, which Moscow seemed interested in, but Kiev and its Western backers rejected.

Russia has denied US claims about North Korean weapons and ammunition deliveries. Iran has clarified that it provided Russia with prototypes and plans for drones before the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, suggesting that Moscow has been producing them domestically.

The US and its allies have sent over $200 billion worth of weapons, ammunition and cash to Ukraine over the past two years, while insisting that this does not make them direct participants in the conflict.

So NATO is blaming China for their failure which is therefore the justification for why NATO needs to start pushing on China. Basically, Europe is East Asia so that means NATO must go global to protect themselves.

What in the hell can Stoltenberg offer that can change chinas mind or approach given that the EU is literally the 51st state of the USA and thus has no sovereignty of its own and has demonstrated almost constantly that they cannot honor any agreement at all what so ever. Here’s a hint on how to get China to simply listen but not change their mind in the future, how about throwing Stolenberg into a mental ward and throw away the key because this man is simply too compromised to be of use. Maybe he might have a space in Ursula’s bed given how she is also a prop without a purpose but in a serious forum where the fate of the world is decided, he has no place at all and should stay out

I think NATO is just telegraphing its intentions. No particular need for worry; start building and deploying platforms that can strike West Europe.
