Jens Stoltenberg, secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , said on Monday that China should be penalized for supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg speaks to members of the media after meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House on June 17, 2024, in Washington, DC. Stoltenberg blasted China for “sharing high-end technologies, like semiconductors and other dual-use items,” with Russia. He suggested China’s support was a major factor in Putin’s calculations that he might be able to outlast NATO and Ukraine.
During the question-and-answer session after his speech, Stoltenberg addressed such talking points from China and Russia by stressing that NATO has always been a “defensive alliance,” while Russia is clearly the aggressor in Ukraine.
“The world has seen what kind of role NATO has played in the Ukraine crisis. What the NATO should do is reflect on itself, rather than smear and attack China,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian sneered.
