Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte:
"How is Putin able to continue the war against Ukraine? The answer is China.
China is Russia's lifeline, and it does not want its ally to lose in Ukraine.
Without China's support, Russia would not have been able to continue this war."
Secretary General Rutte's designation of China as Russia's "lifeline" is a serious misreading of China's position under specific circumstances. This statement has obvious deviations in both motive and facts.
Rutte's remarks are an attempt to shift blame externally, concealing his own "inciting" behavior regarding the war,
shifting the responsibility for prolonging the conflict to China, in order to divert international attention and cover up NATO's continuous delivery of weapons to the battlefield and exacerbating the conflict. The Foreign Ministry spokesperson had previously clearly stated that NATO's "false information cannot fool the eyes of the world."
China has repeatedly urged NATO to deeply reflect on its responsibilities, stop inciting and fueling the conflict, and adhere to the role of a regional defense organization, rather than extending its reach to the Asia-Pacific region.
China has never provided weapons to belligerent parties and strictly controls the export of dual-use items. China emphasized that if it truly provided military supplies to Russia, "the situation on the battlefield would not be what it is today."
In summary, the statement by the Secretary General of NATO is a strategic narrative serving its own political agenda, not a statement based on objective facts. China's neutral position on the Ukraine issue and its role in promoting peace talks are clear, consistent, and supported by actions.
