NATO should not “provoke a confrontation” with China over its relationship with Russia, a spokesperson for Beijing’s EU envoy said in a statement on Thursday.
The statement comes after NATO presented its declaration at the ongoing summit in Washington, where China is mentioned in critical terms.
The defense alliance writes, among other things, that the partnership with Moscow is cause for “deep concern”.
According to the statement from Beijing, NATO must “stop fueling the so-called China threat and provoking confrontation and rivalry.” NATO should, according to China, instead do more to contribute to world peace and stability.

It must be summertime and soon the premiere of the film about the band Gyllene tider and its frontman Per Gessle. But it is not possible to give your child the first name Gessle, reports Smålandsposten.
A man in Växjö applied to use Gessle as one of three first names for his daughter. The Tax Agency said no and the Administrative Court agrees.
The court writes in its ruling that the name Gessle “has such a tangible surname character that it is unsuitable as a first name”.

Democratic Senator Peter Welch believes that Joe Biden should step down, he writes in a debate post in the Washington Post.
The pressure on the US president is increasing and a press conference on Thursday could be decisive.
“We cannot ignore President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. We cannot ignore the legitimate questions that have been raised since that night,” Welch writes.
He thus becomes the first of the Democratic senators to explicitly call on Biden to end his bid for re-election. His colleague and party friend, Senator Michael Bennet, said Wednesday night that Biden risks a “crushing” defeat if he faces Trump.
On Thursday, Biden will hold a press conference and answer journalists’ questions in connection with the NATO summit in Washington, an event that political analysts predict could be aSee more

Ukraine is to receive military support for the equivalent of 40 billion euros. This is evident from the final declaration from the NATO meeting. However, you will have to wait for a formal invitation to the defense alliance.
Already during day two of three meeting days, the declaration was presented, however without any major surprises regarding the content. The financial support to Ukraine was what was previously talked about, i.e. the equivalent of approximately SEK 450 billion in support in the war against Russia.
However, this agreement was written in one year, unlike the proposal that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg previously launched for a five-year support.
Not legally binding
Nor should the agreement be legally binding for future governments. This could mean a change if, for example, Donald Trump becomes president of the United States in hShow more

Which electoral system is the most fair, our Swedish, the English, the USA or the French. Got curious in these times.
Bengt Gustavsson
Good question Bengt! And it’s probably not something I can answer, but a big difference between Sweden and the USA is that election day here is always a holiday, which at least makes it possible for more people to vote without having to take time off (if you don’t vote early then).
Why do you only answer ridiculous questions about pacifiers and sports, while respectfully dissing heavy topics that may be a bit sensitive and difficult to answer? 😡
Lars
Hey Lars!
I wouldn’t say we do, and when it came to the issue of pacifiers, it was a recall. So quite important information for parents.
Then it is not always the case that we can let all questions go through, e.g. those that contain serious violations or name publications that we ourselves have not made.
