00:00Security is global, not regional.
00:03Putin's war is fuelled by those who do not share our values.
00:08Iran and North Korea provide direct military support, while China is propping up Russia's
00:15war economy.
00:17This is not just a temporary collision of convenience.
00:21It is a major strategic shift.
00:24And we must remain clear-eyed as to the threat it poses.
00:31As NATO Allies agreed today in our Summit Declaration, China has become a decisive enabler
00:40of Russia's war against Ukraine.
00:44And China's support increases the threat Russia poses to Euro-Atlantic security.
00:51Allies have stated clearly that China cannot enable the largest conflict in Europe in recent
00:58history without this negatively impacting their interest and reputation.
01:04Tomorrow NATO Allies will meet with our four Indo-Pacific partners and the European Union.
01:11And we will continue to deepen our cooperation in addressing shared challenges.
01:16NATO's Summit Declaration reflects the tension in the Asia-Pacific region, which is full
01:22of cold war mentality and war-loving rhetoric.
01:26The content is full of prejudice, discrediting and provocation.
01:32We are strongly dissatisfied with this and firmly oppose it.
01:36We have raised serious concerns with NATO.
01:40China's position on Ukraine is objective and just, and it plays a constructive role.
01:47It is widely recognized by the international community.
01:51NATO continues to spread false information about the U.S. in the absence of any evidence.
01:59It openly discredits China, instigates relations between China and Europe, and undermines China-Europe
02:06cooperation.
