【英文】2021年北约峰会公报：首次将中国认定为系统性挑战（30页）

We face multifaceted threats, systemic competition from assertive and  authoritarian powers, as well as growing security challenges to our countries and our citizens  from all strategic directions. Russia’s aggressive actions constitute a threat to Euro-Atlantic  security; terrorism in all its forms and manifestations remains a persistent threat to us all.  State and non-state actors challenge the rules-based international order and seek to  undermine democracy across the globe. Instability beyond our borders is also contributing  to irregular migration and human trafficking. China’s growing influence and international  policies can present challenges that we need to address together as an Alliance. We will  engage China with a view to defending the security interests of the Alliance.

Reaffirm that NATO is the unique, essential and indispensable transatlantic forum for  consultations and joint action on all matters related to our individual and collective security.  We pledge to strengthen and broaden our consultations and to ensure that NATO remains  flexible and effective to conduct military operations in support of our common security. We  reaffirm the Alliance’s shared democratic principles as well as our commitment to the spirit  and the letter of the North Atlantic Treaty. We commit to reinforcing consultations when  the security or stability of an Ally is threatened or when our fundamental values and principles  are at risk.
