China: NATO’s Japan office not welcomed in Asia-Pacific; Tokyo needs prudence given aggressive past

Reuters: Japanese Prime Minister Kishida said that Japan is considering opening a NATO liaison office, but it will not join NATO itself. What’s China’s response? Mao Ning: NATO claims to be a regional organization and should not extend its geopolitical reach. The Asia-Pacific does not welcome bloc confrontation or military blocs. Given Japan’s history of aggression, it needs to be prudent on military and security issues and make sure its actions are conducive to regional peace and stability. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
