NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warns that China's support for Russia could destabilize global and European security.

In an interview with the New York Times, Mark Rutte emphasized the dangers of China's political and military support for Russia, which could encourage an attack on NATO countries. He said that before acting on Taiwan, Xi Jinping could consult Vladimir Putin. Rutte emphasized the need for close collaboration between NATO and the Indo-Pacific region to strengthen the defense industry and manage global challenges.
