"The world is indivisible and security is indivisible," said Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN, commenting on the war in Ukraine.

"Europeans have realized that Europe's security is not in European hands. NATO's eastward expansion is dominated by the US, and this vision of security is based on sacrificing Russia's security. In other words, the absolute security of the West makes Russia absolutely insecure," said Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University of China, in an interview with [source missing].

An expert on international relations from Beijing was interviewed by Global TimesSpeaking anonymously, he stated that Russia is being pressured by NATO, contrary to the perception disseminated by Western media that the Kremlin is a threat.
The analyst also said that the current stance of the United States and NATO could be repeated in different circumstances in Asia, and that the continent's main leaders need to be vigilant.
"We don't want any country to repeat the tragedy that Ukraine experienced, so we hope that US allies in Asia, such as South Korea, Japan, and some Southeast Asian countries, can make wise and independent decisions on security and diplomacy, so as not to be used as a pawn to serve the US strategy of containing China on the geopolitical chessboard," concluded the expert, who preferred to remain anonymous.
