NATO chief denies that Ukraine distracts from China competition

China hawks in the United States shouldn’t believe they “have the luxury” of shifting attention from Russia to the rising communist regime, according to NATO’s top civilian.

“China and Russia are more and more aligned,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. “The idea that we can just address the Russia [threat] without at the same time addressing China, or vice versa, is meaningless.”
