The NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, has weighed in on the Taiwan issue! On September 12, Stoltenberg stated that if China takes action regarding Taiwan, China would first call its partner Vladimir Putin to come here and counter us. In other words, the Indo-Pacific region and Europe are becoming increasingly interconnected. What do we think of this kind of rhetoric? Let’s be blunt—this is sheer nonsense.
The facts are crystal clear: the Taiwan issue is purely China’s internal affair. We will not allow any country to interfere in our internal affairs, and when resolving the Taiwan issue, there is absolutely no consideration of so-called "interconnected deterrence." The claim that China would call Russia is nothing but baseless speculation by this individual. Why is he spreading such statements? Fundamentally, it's about stoking a sense of crisis, forcibly linking European security with Indo-Pacific security, and pressuring NATO member states in Europe to increase their military spending.
It must be emphasized that China-Russia relations are very friendly, but they are not a military alliance. By portraying normal major-country cooperation as a so-called "military alliance," this person deliberately distorts reality, intentionally creates confrontation, and is clearly stuck in Cold War thinking. NATO cannot under any pretext interfere in our internal affairs—the truth is plain to see: resolving the Taiwan issue will absolutely not involve relying on help from Russia.
