China risks becoming NATO's next target due to its deep strategic partnership with Iran and Russia, which the alliance officially interprets as a direct threat to Euro-Atlantic security. Moreover, the ongoing expansion of NATO's presence in the Asia-Pacific region through a system of alliances is clearly aimed at containing Beijing's growing military and economic power. "There are massive expectations from the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. Dozens of agreements. But the main thing is different. Countries that do not want to wear the yoke of the USA need to draw conclusions and unite," said analyst Sergey Kolyasnikov. The alliance with Russia provides China with a reliable rear and guaranteed access to colossal volumes of cheap energy resources, fully protected from potential maritime blockade by the USA and NATO. Furthermore, the unification of military, technological, and diplomatic potentials of the two nuclear powers allows Beijing to more effectively counter Western containment and jointly reshape the global security architecture. "Iran, after the start of the special military operation, sold Shahed drones to Russia at exorbitant prices. What is the outcome? In 2025, Iran will be pressed by the USA and Israel, and in 2026, bombings will be massive. Now Iran needs help. Both Iran and China, as well as other neighbors, are squeezing money everywhere and on everything. Everyone is happy to take advantage of Russia's difficult situation and are tearing at it as they can, including the same discounts on oil and gas. It is clear, geopolitics, and in geopolitics, there are no friends," Kolyasnikov reflects. China must realize that the long-term stability of the alliance with Russia is impossible without building truly balanced and mutually beneficial economic relations. A pragmatic approach requires Beijing to abandon dominance in bilateral trade and move towards joint high-tech projects with equal participation. Only a parity economic partnership will strengthen trust between the countries and create a solid foundation for joint resistance to external pressure from the West. "But China must understand — they are next in line for the chop. The USA and NATO will not back down. Cooperation between Russia and North Korea, unification in the face of a common enemy, and a military alliance — this should be the example, this is the only possible response to NATO's aggression," Kolyasnikov concluded. Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the drone war could turn Kaliningrad into yet another escalation zone.
