? I think it seems impossible for NATO to "naturalize" in the Asia-Pacific region in a short period of time.
? According to media reports, 10 On June 5, Nikolai, Director of the Asian Third Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Noz Tilev pointed out, "NATO's route to enhance its potential by any means in the Asia-Pacific region has been clearly presented, and this process is based on regional partners such as Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand. He emphasized that Japan has declared that "naturalization" in Asia must be irreversible.
As friends know, the Asia-Pacific region refers to the Asia-Pacific region, and generally refers to countries along the Pacific Ocean, including Australia, the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, China, Mexico, Chile, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan Province Province and Hong Kong. From the past and recent media reports, friends can clearly see the shadow of NATO's gradual entry into the Asia-Pacific region: in the past two decades, Japan and South Korea have cooperated with NATO to change the Afghan regime through war, and then entered the Asia-Pacific region with the theme of counter-terrorism. South Korea, Australia and other countries also sent personnel to participate in the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, deeply involved in the war in Afghanistan. After the war in Afghanistan, the cooperation between NATO and its Asia-Pacific partners showed a weakening trend.
In recent years, NATO has followed the US India-Pacific strategy and resumed its March into the Asia-Pacific region. For example, in March 2022, Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio visited NATO headquarters; In April, foreign ministers such as Japan and Australia attended the NATO Foreign Ministers' Meeting; In May, South Korean intelligence agencies also joined the NATO Cyber Defense Center; In June, the NATO Madrid Summit invited leaders from Japan, South Korea and other countries to attend for the first time, which marked NATO's entry into the Asia-Pacific region. After that, NATO countries frequently held military exercises with Japan, South Korea and other countries, indicating that the trend of NATO's entry into the Asia-Pacific region is very obvious.
? ? I think that although the trend of NATO's entry into the Asia-Pacific region is very obvious, it seems impossible for NATO to enter the Asia-Pacific region and achieve "naturalization" in the Asia-Pacific region in a short time:
? ? First, China is a country of etiquette and has always adhered to the Five Principles of Peace. Therefore, from the perspective of Asia-Pacific countries, China does not pose a threat to other Asia-Pacific countries. Although NATO followed the US Indo-Pacific strategy and resumed its March into the Asia-Pacific region, it seems impossible to achieve "Naturalization" in the Asia-Pacific region in the short term.
Second, the national conditions of Asia-Pacific countries are different from those of European countries. Because Asian countries are quite different and relatively independent as a whole, it is not easy to integrate Asian countries into NATO group from a historical perspective, so it seems impossible to achieve "NATO" in the Asia-Pacific region in the short term.
Third, NATO's entry into the Asia-Pacific region is actually dominated by country M, that is, a system centered on country M. Although country M competes with China in economy and trade, it is not antagonistic. Therefore, NATO's entry into the Asia-Pacific region and its "naturalization" in the Asia-Pacific region are not mature and it seems impossible in the short term.
In my opinion, although the route to enhance NATO's potential in the Asia-Pacific region has been clearly presented, at least in the short term, it seems impossible for NATO led by M to enter the Asia-Pacific region and realize "Naturalization" in the Asia-Pacific region, because China and M are currently competing rather than confronting each other, especially the NATO led by M is deeply involved in Russian and Ukrainian special military operations.
