‘At the latest NATO Summit, China’s role in supplying aid to the Russian military in its war against Ukraine became a major talking point. In no ambiguous words, NATO leaders said China is a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine.’
‘Besides accusing China of supplying military aid to Russia and fuelling what is described as the largest war in Europe, NATO is also mulling reclaiming certain Chinese-owned infrastructure projects in Europe, as per a CNN report that cited unknown officials familiar with the matter.’ ‘The West’s warning of Beijing’s support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, coupled with the greatest land battle in Europe since World War II, have caused NATO countries to view those investments, which were once considered a boon for financially slumped Europe, as threats & liabilities.’ ‘As a result, the allies are reportedly starting to contemplate ways to recapture some of those projects, the sources told CNN. In fact, one official said that the concern among NATO allies is that if the crisis worsens and the conflict expands to involve NATO states, Beijing might use the infrastructure it possesses in Europe to give Russia material support.’
