NATO should have been dissolved after Soviet collapse: China​

Friday, 01 April 2022 1:39 PM

China has criticized the eastward expansion of NATO, saying that the US-led military alliance should have been dissolved after the collapse of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a news conference on Friday that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as a product of the Cold War, should have become history when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991.

"In the early 1990s, then-US Secretary of State James Baker promised to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand even an inch eastward," Zhao said.

As the initiator and biggest "behind-the-scene planner" for the Ukraine conflict, the US has led NATO to engage in five rounds of eastward expansion in over 20 years, he added.

"The number of NATO members increased from 16 to 30, advancing more than 1,000 kilometers eastward to the Russian border,” Zhao said.

He said that the world does not need a new Cold War, neither does Europe. He called on NATO to reflect on its role in the Ukraine crisis and the security of Europe itself.

NATO was formed in 1949 by 12 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK and France. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a number of former Warsaw Pact countries switched sides and joined the military alliance. It currently consists of 30 independent member countries, who are committed to protect each other.

NATO’s eastward expansion has long been a concern for world powers China and Russia, who have constantly warned that the move would lead to a war.

Russia has constantly been warning against membership of many parts of the old Soviet Bloc in NATO, especially the prospective membership of Ukraine in the Western military alliance, something that eventually pit Moscow against the Kiev government.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the military campaign in Ukraine in February 24, has been clear for many years that if continued, the expansion would likely be met with serious resistance by the Russians.

Before the military conflict, Moscow had put forward a set of security proposals to de-escalate the tensions, including a guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO.

The proposals were rejected.

NATO is a "sissy" organization for countries that can't fight 1 vs 1. Why do need another man do fight for your country? Is it because your country does not have the balls or is just a weak nation? Or a combination of both?

Bang on.
Notice it's the Westerners either invading countries all over the world, or stoking the fire everywhere if we see the last hundred years. There are relatively few
" native" wars , most wars are either westerners fighting directly or by proxy.
Eg Right now the orient is at absolute peace except the US stoking hatred through its forced alliances and military camps.
Even the middle East and Africa and latin America is at peace except westerners stoking the fire desperately

In the post cold war era we've seen the NATO gradually evolve into a terrorist organization . It no longer serves as an umbrella against the communist threat but as a bully to protect member states' strategic interests and assets. It's a threat for world peace period!

Russia is white. How can a white club be against a white country? Makes no sense.

And what has NATO to do with China? Afraid of nato expanding to Far East?

You are not accusing Japan and Korea they are run by Nazi and drug addicts, I hope.

Aww cry and tears run down your face.

NATO is our business, none of yours. NATO is our guarantee that no one can touch us. Look at Russia, we ship weapons to Ukraine in gigantic amounts, bake their soldiers and Putin just has to take it. We might get two new member soon. Finland and Sweden move towards that.

If that was that sissy organization they would not have been dominating different regions and razing hell in other countries. Its a brutal gang of thugs with smiling face to fool other countries.
