China opposes NATO meddling in Asia-Pacific: defense ministry

TEHRAN, Apr. 14 (MNA) – Beijing is against NATO’s interference in the Asia-Pacific region’s affairs under the pretext of countering the so-called Chinese challenge, Tan Kefei, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, said on Friday.

"China stands strongly against NATO’s interference in Asia-Pacific affairs under the pretext of the so-called Chinese challenge and the establishment of an Asia-Pacific alternative to NATO," he said, TASS reported.

He stressed that the Asia-Pacific region "must not turn into a chessboard for geopolitical rivalry" and called on NATO countries to drop "their Cold War mentality" and take on an objective attitude to China’s role in the region.
