"NATO Chief's Warning: After Putin's War, China's Xi Could Be Next"

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned that while Russia currently poses the most immediate challenge to the world order, China represents the biggest long-term challenge for NATO allies, with Taiwan potentially being the next target. Stoltenberg emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine to prevent others from learning that using force against America's interests works, and highlighted China's rapid military modernization, lack of transparency, unfair trade practices, aggression towards neighbors, and efforts to dominate the South China Sea. He stressed the collective strength of the NATO alliance and encouraged the U.S. to recognize its value, particularly in the face of great power rivalry.
