 NPR's John Ruich reports the Chinese government says the security alliance is stoking tension. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian blasted NATO. He called it a Cold War relic that's caused chaos around the world, habitually overextended its reach, and sustained itself with imaginary enemies. Lin said NATO's accusations against China are baseless and malicious, and that NATO is the one exacerbating the crisis in Ukraine. Lin also warned NATO not to, quote, extend its chaos into the Asia-Pacific region.
