NATO Secretary General: China is not the enemy of the alliance

NATO does not view China as its enemy, although its rise on the world stage poses problems for the alliance, said the organization's secretary general Jens Stoltenberg.

“China is not our enemy. Its rise on the world stage opens up opportunities, but also creates challenges. China has the second largest defense budget in the world, and it continues to rapidly modernize its armed forces, “Stoltenberg was quoted by TASS.

Stoltenberg previously said that NATO does not view Russia as a source of immediate military threat.
