NATO official warns of rising China as new threat

by Jordan Hilger, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – A senior NATO official expressed concern about the rise of China as a global power in a speech recently, calling on the communist regime to join existing missile agreements with the US and Russia.

NATO Deputy Secretary-General Mircea Geoana said of greatest concern was the fact that an increasing arsenal of Chinese cruise missiles were capable of reaching the US and Europe, and that China was exporting cutting-edge technology for a surveillance state to tyrannies around the world.

“When we start looking into new technologies, when we start looking into arms control, when we start looking about the fact that, let’s say, Chinese missile capabilities can reach U.S. and Europe–at that moment, of course, we have to start becoming far more attentive to the rise of China,” the former Romanian foreign minister said in a speech Friday at the Hudson Institute.

A December meeting of NATO powers highlighted China for the first time as a global player that presented major “challenges and opportunities” for the West, the organization having first been formed as a safeguard against the Soviet Union in 1949.

Geoana in his address acknowledged “the view coming from the US and many other countries that China is a nation that is changing the global balance of power, which is an understatement.”
