NATO leaders will discuss"the rise of China" during a summit in Madrid, Spain, next week, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.
While the alliance doesn't consider China to be an"adversary," Stoltenberg said, members recognize the Chinese are"investing heavily in new modern military equipment, including scaling significantly alter nuclear capabilities, investing in key technologies, and trying also to control critical infrastructure in Europe."
The two leaders, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, a pariah on the international stage amid the war, promoted their countries' close ties following a meeting between them last week. Russia's war is on the verge of completing its fourth month, with nearly all of its initial goals remaining unconquered. Despite that, it now has the manpower and weapons advantage to win a protracted conflict slowly depending upon NATO and the West's military contributions.
