China sees NATO allies backing Ukraine as a potential threat to its strategy in the Indo-Pacific.
NATO said last year that it intended to focus more on China and Beijing is expected to play a large role in the bloc's strategy moving forward.
"NATO, a military organization in the North Atlantic, has in recent years come to the Asia-Pacific region to throw its weight around and stir up conflicts,” said Wang Wenbin, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman.
China increasingly sees the war in Ukraine -- and the roles of the United States and its NATO allies in backing Kyiv against Moscow -- as a reflection of future tensions to come between the military bloc and Beijing in the Indo-Pacific. Ever since Russian tanks first crossed into Ukraine on February 24, Beijing has walked an awkward line between not giving outright support to Moscow's invasion while accusing the United States and other NATO countries of provoking the war by allowing the security alliance to expand eastward despite protests from the Kremlin.
Now, as the war continues to grind on with the Russian military suffering major setbacks on the battlefield, China has ramped up its rhetoric to warn about NATO and the United States' footprint in Asia.
"NATO, a military organization in the North Atlantic, has in recent years come to the Asia-Pacific region to throw its weight around and stir up conflicts," Wang Wenbin, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, said in late April.

The DNC and some Republicans are caught up in corruption being exposed in the Ukraine. Midterm elections will dee some more surprising retirements.
“ARE YOUR ASIA BERONG TO US! YOU NO COME HERE COWBOY OR WE MAKE BOOM BOOM! YOU GO WAY NOW!!”
Indeed, and now Europe agrees, as almost all of them will now pay their dues.
Trump, however, never called for the destruction of NATO as you Putinist trolls keep claiming.
Slow walking into a Global War.........number it as you like.
Never claimed he did, but I'm elated China is telling them to take a step back. NATO is a hollow army, filled with Euroweenies and you Neocons.
Then don’t invade Taiwan
Xi putin and trump all in cahoots eh?
That’s a good one.
China is scared. They are making silly threats just like putin now. They see the invasion of Ukraine is going to be the ruination of russia and now they fear their own invasion of Taiwan would likely end the same way.
I almost hope someone convinces xi he can do better than putin and then proceeds with an invasion. Almost.
As the guys at The Duran always say - "Neocons have no reverse gear".
This thread is FILLED with The Usual Neoconned Suspects demanding war with China, "Because North Atlantic".

Dem agitprop during an important election cycle, I think.

They are right, this would be SEATO territory.
Frigging scumbags now supporting the Chinese communists against the United States?
You threaten our national security and then call those who understand the threats in this world,”newbies” and “democrats”.
When you’re still wet behind the ears.
Anyone who’s glad communist China threatens us, is a communist, leftist pile of garbage, anti Anerican, and deserves to go to hell.
Cheering red China? ESAD.
🤫 hush, Neocon.
GPH, looks like you got ‘told’ by Brave Sir Jon of the Russian 345th Motorized Keyboard Regiment.
Be afraid. Be very afraid! He already called you a (GASP!) neo-con and if provoked he’ll call you other pointless names!!!
