(NATO/China) NATO’s identification of China as a ‘systemic challenge’ has raised some eyebrows in Southeast Asia

Asad Latif writes for RUSI: NATO’s identification of China as a ‘systemic challenge’ has raised some eyebrows in Southeast Asia. Some Asians wonder why NATO should be meddling in Asian affairs when its ambit is Europe. However, Beijing’s increasingly assertive actions – in building a nuclear arsenal and space and cyber warfare capabilities, and in developing its entente cordiale with Russia – appear to give NATO a legitimate interest in Asian affairs. Indeed, the transatlantic alliance’s interest could be a source of inspiration for regional security structures in Asia.
