A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Defense, Zhang Xiaogang, expressed dissatisfaction with NATO’s accusations against China related to the conflict in Ukraine.
Zhang stated that China has maintained an objective and impartial stance, actively promoting peace talks, while NATO allies, led by the U.S., have exacerbated the conflict and benefited from the war.
Zhang criticized NATO for attempting to shift blame onto China and highlighted that the country has always been a builder of global peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.
He also emphasized that the Chinese armed forces are a steadfast force for global and regional peace and stability.
The spokesperson warned NATO against provoking bloc confrontations and creating divisions in the Asia-Pacific region, urging it not to interfere in China’s internal affairs or challenge its legitimate rights and interests.
