Brussels: EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas accused on Wednesday China of carrying out actions that harm Europe's security. "China is not our adversary, but on security our relationship is under increasing strain," Kallas told reporters before her meeting with the Chinese top diplomat Wang.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Kallas warned that "Chinese companies are Moscow's lifeline to sustain its war against Ukraine." She expressed concerns over Beijing's conduct, stating, "Beijing carries out cyberattacks, interferes with our democracies, and trades unfairly," labeling these actions as detrimental to European security and jobs.
Kallas further criticized what she described as contradictory behavior from Beijing, highlighting its allowance of war in Europe while simultaneously seeking closer ties with the continent. She urged that "in a volatile world, Beijing should use its growing strength to uphold international law," concluding her remarks on the need for China to align its actions with global standards.
