Nato: By making China the enemy, the alliance is threatening world peace

Jonathan Cook

According to a report in the New York Times, China would have found itself openly classed as a “threat” last week had it not been for Germany and France. They insisted that the more hostile terminology be watered down so as to avoid harming their trade and technology links with China.

In response, Beijing accused Nato of “maliciously attacking and smearing” it, and warned that the alliance was “provoking confrontation”. Not unreasonably, Beijing believes Nato has strayed well out of its sphere of supposed “defensive” interest: the North Atlantic.



Nato was founded in the wake of the Second World War expressly as a bulwark against Soviet expansion into Western Europe. The ensuing Cold War was primarily a territorial and ideological battle for the future of Europe, with the ever-present mutual threat of nuclear annihilation.

So how, Beijing might justifiably wonder, does China - on the other side of the globe - fit into Nato’s historic “defensive” mission? How are Chinese troops or missiles now threatening Europe or the US in ways they weren’t before? How are Americans or Europeans suddenly under threat of military conquest from China?

We all know that Biden is pleased to have cut trade and communications between Russia and the EU. I won't argue that this was the primary NATO aim- apart from destroying Russia as a NATO opponent- but Biden is pleased with this outcome. He is a fool. America is no longer THE world power and insisting that it is is akin to the British believing that they still rule an empire. Europe is suffering from NATO's eastward advances- the US is not. This imbalance will not be forgotten by the Europeans if there is ever another NATO conflict .

Now, to attempt to stifle the Chinese along the same policy lines is madness. Trump was indeed insane to have sown the seeds of enmity with China, disrupting world-wide benefits of Chinese trade and forcing a reversal of co-operation with China, just as Biden has done with Russia.
Unfortunately for both Trump and Biden- for both Republicans and Democrats- Russia and China , two thirds of the world's commercial and nuclear powers, have been welded together by NATO aggression. One or the other would be almost impossible to defeat, both together are beyond contemplation.

Fresh western leadership is required to repair the damage caused by Biden and Trump. Better to begin now, before the Russians take control of Ukraine and re-erect the Iron Curtain, than to continue to ply Ukraine with weapons while signalling to the Chinese that ' You're next '. The ' West ' has to quit the flag-waving and start to think.

No- that's competition. New York shop owners do not kill each other. Well- not frequently.
