China should pay for propping Russia's Ukraine war - Nato chief

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that China should pay a price for supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. He did not specify what this price should be, but argued that China is providing Russia with political and economic support and that this is helping to sustain the war. The comments came after China proposed a peace plan for Ukraine, which Stoltenberg said was not a peace plan but rather a "justification for Russia's war and a call for further territorial gains." China has denied providing any military aid to Russia, but Stoltenberg said that it was clear that China was "walking a dangerous line" by supporting Russia. He also said that it was important for NATO allies to be prepared for the possibility of China becoming a more significant military threat in the future. "We need to be prepared for a world where China is a stronger military power, and that means investing more in our own defense, but also being more aware of the threats that China poses," he said.
