Tensions simmer as China's Foreign Ministry calls out NATO for what it calls “blame-shifting tactics” over the ongoing Ukraine crisis. During a Tuesday press briefing, spokesperson Lin Jian fired back at NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg’s claims that China is prolonging the conflict by supplying technology to Russia. 🚨
“Self-Reflection, Not Smear Campaigns”
Lin stressed that China isn’t a party to the crisis and has consistently pushed for peace talks: “What NATO should do is self-reflection, not arbitrary smear and attack China.” He emphasized global recognition of Beijing’s “objective, impartial position” in seeking diplomatic solutions. 💬
NATO’s Role Under Scrutiny
The spokesperson urged NATO to avoid “sowing discord” or fueling “bloc confrontation,” adding, “Do something practical for the political settlement.” Analysts suggest this exchange highlights growing friction between Beijing and Western alliances amid geopolitical reshuffling. 🌐
