NATO has formally accused China of enabling Russia's war in Ukraine by supplying weapons components and Western technology crucial to the invasion. This marks a significant departure for the alliance, which until 2019 had not officially mentioned China as a concern. The statement, issued on July 10 and reported by the NYT, represents NATO's strongest-ever language against Beijing, highlighting China's role as a 'decisive enabler' of Russia's military efforts. NATO demanded that China halt shipments of weapons components and other critical technology to Russia. There are also indications that Beijing is developing an attack drone for the conflict.
