China Will Attack Taiwan with Russia's Help, NATO Secretary General Says

Russia will assist China if Chinese President Xi Jinping decides to launch an attack on Taiwan, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated in an interview with The New York Times.

“If Xi Jinping decides to attack Taiwan, the first thing he will do is call Putin in Moscow and say, ‘Hey, I’m going to do this, and I need you to distract the U.S. attention in Europe by attacking NATO territory,’” Rutte said.

To prevent this, it is essential to strengthen the North Atlantic Alliance and work in the Indo-Pacific region, Rutte emphasized.
