Oh boy, Can’t wait for the comments from the ccp for this 🤣
Clues in the name Liz, I expect there to be a similar NATO like alliance setup for the Indo-Pacific in the future though.
Don’t make me like you, Liz Truss.
NATO shouldn’t, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a bigger alliance that encompasses NATO.
This is scandalous! I looked into it and it seems that [in 1950, UK recognised the PRC as the legitimate Government of all China](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/07/britain-recognises-communist-government-of-china-1950), while at the same time withdrawing the recognition from Nationalist government in Taiwan. So this means that she is calling for NATO to protect PRC territory against rebels, maybe even for China to join the NATO. I don’t want NATO to protect communist China territory, sorry.

There you go, Liz. NATO has no business in south-east Asia.
Only hypothetical, but a war with China now would be catastrophic for Europe. Russia and China would form an alliance and would dominate Asia.
At least now China is somewhat on our side against Russia. Truss is really not helping here and should STFU. I’m all in favor for an independent Taiwan but joining a military alliance against China is not good for us currently.

UK’s Liz Truss should read the [NATO treaty](https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/official_texts_17120.htm), especially article 6:

Go try revive [SEATO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization) instead (yes, that was a thing).
