This week’s NATO summit in Washington left no mistake that China is now a focus of the alliance: The final communiqué, approved by all 32 NATO members, called China a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine, expressed concern over its expanding nuclear arsenal, and accused Beijing of conducting “sustained and malicious cyber and hybrid activities” and employing “coercive tactics and efforts to divide the Alliance.” Lest there be any doubt that NATO has China in its sights, NATO...
