NATO chief warns China and Russia are preparing for ‘long-term confrontation’
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned that Russia and China are preparing their defense industries for “long-term confrontation,” after Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin led a parade of Beijing’s new military hardware.
NATO Secretary General Rutte warns of an armament in China and Russia at a "breath-taking" pace. He calls on the West to expand its own arms production.
"Russia, not China, is still the greatest threat to NATO countries," says Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson, speaking shortly after a military parade in Beijing during which China unveiled a new weapon.
In a context of growing geopolitical tensions, NATO has pointed to the urgency of strengthening its military capabilities in the face of the accelerated modernization of the Russian and Chinese armed forces. With the commitment to invest 5% of GDP in defence by 2035, Europe faces the task of adapting to a world where global security depends on a strong defence industry.
