The NATO summit is expected to criticize China for its backing of Russia.

The NATO summit is poised to criticize China for its support of Russia.

NATO leaders are anticipated to confront China for its backing of Russia's military efforts at their summit in Washington, D.C., yet they remain split on their strategy towards the Indo-Pacific region.

During the summit in the U.S. capital, NATO leaders are poised to not only endorse a new military aid package for Ukraine but also to adopt a firm stance on China.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, in a pre-summit interview with U.S. media, labeled China as "the primary facilitator of Russia’s war against Ukraine."

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken conveyed to DW during a foreign ministers' meeting in Prague in May that China's support constitutes "a significant difference-maker currently on the battlefield." He further noted that China's attempt to foster improved relations with European nations while simultaneously bolstering the main threat to Europe's security "does not make sense."

Despite Beijing's consistent denials of weapon supplies to Moscow, the alliance has implicated China in the augmentation of Russia's war capabilities through the provision of essential components.

Per U.S. evaluations, China is the foremost provider of machine tools, microelectronics, nitrocellulose – essential for ammunition and rocket propellants – and other dual-use items that Moscow employs to enhance its defense industrial base.

NATO nations perceive China's conduct throughout the Ukrainian conflict as evidence that Europe must not disregard the challenge posed by Beijing.

A senior U.S. State Department official has indicated that the alliance is now "intensely concentrating on the China-Russia relationship."
