China indirectly accuses US of fomenting crisis in Ukraine through NATO enlargement

China today accused the United States, without naming them, of fomenting tension in Ukraine, which, according to Beijing, stems from NATO enlargement and is “inconsistent with our times.”

“China believes that all stakeholders should allow logic to prevail and move towards a political settlement, refraining from any action that could provoke tensions or fuel the crisis,” said Chinese Ambassador to the UN Zhang Joon. , at the Security Council meeting.

“Nothing happens for no reason. NATO enlargement is an issue that we can not exclude in terms of tension in Ukraine. Continued enlargement, in the aftermath of the Cold War, is contrary to our time, that is, to the preservation of the common security “, the Chinese diplomat added.

“Regional security cannot be guaranteed through the enlargement of a military bloc. This is true for Europe, as it is for other parts of the world,” Zhang Jun said. Referring indirectly to the US, the Chinese diplomat said that in the world there is “a country that refuses to give up the Cold War mentality, which says one thing and does the other, in order to achieve its military supremacy”. This, he added, is evident “mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, where” small tripartite groups “are being set up to provoke controversy. The United States recently signed a co-operation agreement with Australia and the United Kingdom in that region.
