(Tokyo Composite Electric) Stoltenberg, Secretary -General of NATO, said that mainland China "has no legitimate reason" to scare Taiwan. Any attempt to change the status quo of the Taiwan Strait will cause "serious consequences" to regions and global security.

Stoltenberg emphasized in the visit that conflicts around Taiwan do not meet the interests of any party.He warned: "Beijing's attempt to change the status quo through military forces will have serious consequences on East Asia. Not only that, this will also have an impact on the NATO allies and global security."

China ’s increasing influence in recent years has attracted more attention from NATO.In the strategic concept document published by NATO for the first time in the first year, China refers to Beijing's "systemic challenges" for the security of Beijing to Europe -Atlantic.

In this regard, Stoltenberg said that "China is not an enemy." NATO member states will continue to cooperate with China in terms of weapon control and climate change.
