NATO chief says China military expansion 'staggering' ...Middle East

“Let us not be naive about China,“ secretary general Mark Rutte told the Japan Times.

US President Donald Trump is pressuring other members of the mainly European NATO alliance to increase their military spending.

“More and more the US wants NATO to be more involved (in the region). Not in an Article 5 sense, but in a sense of projecting power, having each other’s back within NATO,“ Rutte said.

Rutte was due to visit the Yokosuka naval base on Tuesday and meet senior Japanese officials including, on Wednesday, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

Rutte told the Japan Times last week that NATO wanted to take this partnership to the next level by stepping up information-sharing and defence-industrial cooperation.

Japan has increased military cooperation with countries in Europe and last November Tokyo and the European Union announced a new security and defence partnership.
