"The global balance of power is at a turning point, as China becoming a bigger and stronger military power," said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

In a speech in Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark,  after his meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Stoltenberg added that China is getting close to the member-states of the organization.

He warns of the growing influence of China in cyberspace, in space, in Africa, and the Arctic.

He continued to say follows up the Chinese hegemony from the way it is trying to control critical infrastructure here in Europe.

Stoltenberg and Frederiksen reviewed preparations for the NATO summit in Madrid next year and the "NATO 2030" agenda to strengthen the alliance.

On the other hand, the Washington Post reported that the US administration will hold a series of closed-door meetings this November to discuss the necessity of abandoning the principle of a possible preventive nuclear strike on Russia or China.

The newspaper quoted informed sources that the upcoming consultations will be part of the broader efforts of the administration of US President Joe Biden, to develop a new policy in the field of nuclear weapons until early 2022.

The sources pointed out that this issue includes multiple aspects, including Washington's abandonment of the program to modernize nuclear weapons arsenals, whose implementation includes several decades, as well as stopping the deployment of new weapons approved during the era of former President Donald Trump.

The White House is also studying the possibility of reversing the policy of a possible preventive nuclear strike on Russia or China and moving to the principle of "one goal", which defines a narrow circle of circumstances in which nuclear weapons can be used, including the need to deter a direct attack on the United States or take retaliatory measures after being hit

The Financial Times, a US daily newspaper, reported that Washington's allies in Europe and the Pacific region are pressing the administration of US President Joe Biden to maintain the principle of a "preventive nuclear strike" on Russia or China.
