00:00Their limitless friendship is giving NATO a headache.
00:04China has become a vital partner for Russia as it tries to soften the impact of Western
00:09sanctions.
00:10Beijing says it doesn't supply Moscow with weapons, but NATO has accused China of building
00:15up Russia's war machine by providing critical components.
00:18Russia getting this support from China is, as Secretary General said, a huge difference
00:25maker right now on the battlefield.
00:29And for China to purport to have better relations with countries in Europe, while fueling what
00:36I believe is the biggest threat and what Europeans believe is the biggest threat to their security
00:41since the end of the Cold War, does not add up.
00:44The alliance has traditionally focused on the transatlantic area, but in its latest
00:49strategic concept, NATO describes China's ambitions as a challenge to its security.
00:54Beijing already has the second biggest economy in the world, and in numbers, the biggest
01:00army and navy in the world.
01:02For the last few years, China has been asserting its power in its neighbourhood, in particular
01:08towards Taiwan, which it considers a renegade province, but also towards Japan and increasingly
01:14in the South China Sea.
01:16A region of strategic importance for NATO countries as well, as one third of global
01:21trade is shipped through the area.
01:23China cannot be treated as a country too far distant from transatlantic area.
01:31When you look at different European nations, allied countries, there is a presence of China,
01:40be it economically, with the control of some ports, some facilities.
01:48At their summit in Washington DC, NATO leaders will discuss how to address challenges posed
01:53by China, but also by Iran and North Korea, who are providing Russia with drones and shells.
02:00NATO is also expected to expand its cooperation with partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
02:07Leaders from South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand will participate in the summit.
02:13We will build on our practical cooperation with flagship projects on Ukraine, cyber and
02:19new technologies.
02:20We will also address how to work more closely on defence industrial production.
02:26Getting more involved in the Indo-Pacific area is still controversial among some NATO
02:31members.
02:32Many expect the US to focus more on the region in the future and then Europeans will have
02:37to do more for their own defence.
02:40In any case, the war in Ukraine has demonstrated that NATO nations need partners to uphold
02:45the rules-based international order.
