NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has raised alarms about China’s escalating military capabilities and the possibility of an invasion of Taiwan. He emphasized the importance of allied nations, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, in responding to the threats posed by China's military expansion. Rutte warned that such an aggression could also involve Russia, highlighting the interconnectedness of global security. He pointed to the emergence of Chinese defense companies among the world's largest, underscoring the seriousness of the threat and the urgent need for increased defense spending and cooperation among NATO allies.
We have this close relationship with Japan and the Republic of Korea, Australia and New Zealand, exactly for the reason that these countries are very, very worried about the massive military buildup in China that at the moment is taking place.
We know that out of the 10 biggest defence companies, only a couple of years ago you would not find any Chinese companies. At this moment, you will find three to five Chinese defence companies in the top 10 of biggest defence companies in the world.
