“As a product of the Cold War and the world’s largest military alliance, NATO has long clung to the outdated security concept and become a tool for [a] certain country to maintain hegemony. NATO’s so-called new Strategic Concept is just ‘old wine in a new bottle’. It still has not changed the Cold War mentality of creating imaginary enemies and bloc confrontation. We solemnly urge NATO to immediately stop spreading false and provocative statements against China. What NATO should do is to give up the Cold War mentality, zero-sum game mindset and the practice of making enemies, and stop seeking to disrupt Asia and the whole world after it has disrupted Europe". -Zhao Lijian, Foreign Ministry, 28 June 2022

It’s appalling how much of the manufacturing capabilities of western countries have been moved to Mexico and China while the quality of the labor force in the United States has declined at an increasing rate since 1940.
In any event, this marks the beginnings of a renewed Sino-Russian alliance. And even if time is on their side, it’s not in China’s best interest to let Russia get too weakened before it decides it's the right time to get involved.
