China Warns US: NATO-Like Expansion in Asia-Pacific Could Lead to Conflict
News - Middle East: Chinese defense minister has warned that “NATO-like” military alliances in the Asia-Pacific could undermine regional peace and stability and lead to conflict.
Li Shangfu said during the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore on Sunday that “inclusive cooperation” does not allow disastrous world wars to repeat themselves.
“In essence, attempts to push for NATO-like (alliances) in the Asia-Pacific is a way of kidnapping regional countries and exaggerating conflicts and confrontations, which will only plunge the Asia-Pacific into a whirlpool of disputes and conflicts,” he told the two-day security conference also attended by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
