The military parade has just ended, and the NATO Secretary-General has immediately turned his spear against us! On September 4, NATO Secretary-General Lauter claimed that the West must be prepared to deal with the continuous "threats" from Russia and China. In his view, these two countries will elevate their defense industry cooperation to an unprecedented level. Lauter stated that Russia and China are making large investments in the modernization of their armed forces. He called on Europe to further increase its arms production: We need more arms than we currently have, by a lot more.

This is not merely for show at grand military parades in Moscow or Beijing. Russia and China are actively exerting influence, trying to change the global order to "undermine" freedom and security. It is obvious that China and Russia have close interactions, and we have unveiled a number of new equipment. The NATO Secretary-General's statements clearly spread anxiety. We can clearly see that the Secretary-General's remarks have ulterior motives.

What is the purpose? First, to portray China and Russia as threats, using this opportunity to pressure European countries to increase their defense spending. Second, to use the enhancement of China and Russia's military capabilities as an excuse to cover up NATO's own expansionist actions. Third, to use military means to bind European countries, intensify Sino-European tensions, and force European countries to take sides with the United States in the Sino-US competition.

Evidently, the actions of the NATO Secretary-General are nothing but to relentlessly create the narrative of a China and Russia threat, acting as a lackey of the United States. His malicious incitement of confrontation is nothing short of sinister! The key issue now is whether Europe can clearly assess the situation or fall for Lauter's manipulation. This is undoubtedly a significant test of European leadership.
