China envoy to UN, Zhang Jun.

On Thursday, the Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, said that NATO’s repeated expansion eastward in Europe after the Cold War has failed to make the region any safer but also sowed seeds of conflict.

"NATO's repeated eastward expansion after the Cold War has not only failed to make Europe any safer but also sowed the seeds of conflict," Zhang said during a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

Zhang's remarks come especially as NATO threatens to form an "Asian NATO" to counter what it calls "Chinese aggression".

"NATO wantonly launches wars against sovereign countries, causing colossal casualties and humanitarian disasters."
