Hey amigos! 👋 Ever feel like someone's stuck in the past? Well, China's calling out NATO for what it sees as some serious '80s flashbacks! 🕺🎉
On Tuesday, Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, urged NATO to drop its \"baseless accusations\" against China and quit trying to shift blame. During a regular press briefing, Lin responded to remarks made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
China's message? Stop using China as an excuse to expand eastward into the Asia-Pacific and stir up trouble in the region. 🌏🚫
\"NATO, which is a relic of the Cold War and the world's biggest military alliance, says it's all about defense,\" Lin said. \"But it keeps spreading its influence beyond borders, picking fights, and acting like a bully. Their so-called 'security' is coming at the cost of others' peace, causing big risks globally and regionally.\"
Lin emphasized that China is all about building world peace 🌍✌️, contributing to global development, and defending international order. China's fair stance and positive role in tackling international issues—like the Ukraine crisis—haven't gone unnoticed by the world community.
China is urging NATO to shake off its outdated 'Cold War mentality' and zero-sum thinking. Instead of creating \"security anxiety\" and imaginary enemies, and forming exclusive \"small circles\" in the name of \"common defense,\" NATO should take real steps to promote global peace, stability, and development, Lin stated.
Time to move forward together, amigos! 🤝🌟
