NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte criticised China's stance towards Taiwan and said that «China is bullying Taiwan, and pursuing access to critical infrastructure in ways that could cripple societies.»
The remarks by Rutte came while delivering a speech at Carnegie Europe think tank in Brussels on Thursday.
He said, «We need to be clear-eyed about China's ambitions. China is substantially building up its forces, including its nuclear weapons — with no transparency and no limitations. From 200 warheads in 2020, China is expected to have more than 1,000 nuclear weapons by 2030. Its space-launch investments are skyrocketing. China is bullying Taiwan, and pursuing access to our critical infrastructure in ways that could cripple our societies»
The NATO Secretary General also underscored the challenge posed by China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, asserting that these nations aim to undermine «freedom» and «reshape the global order.»
He added, «Russia, China, but also North Korea and Iran, are hard at work to try to weaken North America and Europe. To chip away at our freedom, they want to reshape the global order, not to create a fairer one, but to secure their own spheres of influence. They are testing us and the rest of the world is watching.»
