In a first, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) has issued a direct warning to China over its alleged assistance to Russia in the war against Ukraine. The blunt joint declaration by the 32-member security alliance on July 10, 2024, squarely blamed Beijing for fuelling Moscow’s aggression against Kyiv, calling the world’s second-largest economy a “decisive enabler” of the Kremlin’s “war effort”. In a statement, Nato called on China “as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council with a particular responsibility to uphold the purposes and principles of the UN charter, to cease all material and political support to Russia’s war effort.” Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg described the language as the “strongest message Nato allies have ever sent on China’s contribution to Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine”.
