ranslation (introduction): You and NATO have pointed to China as a threat to NATO security and values. I would like to quickly ask a few questions about the threat from China.

Journalist: "In how many countries has China intervened militarily in the last 40 years?"

Stoltenberg: We see that China...

Journalist interrupts: "We will talk about it later."

Journalist repeats the question: "In how many countries has China intervened militarily in the last 40 years?"

Stoltenberg: "You had a conflict with Vietnam."

Journalist interrupts: "The answer is zero!"

Stoltenberg repeats: "You had a conflict with Vietnam!"

Journalist: "That was over 40 years ago. Please stick to the time frame."

Journalist: "In how many countries does China have military bases?"

Stoltenberg: "Some."

Journalist: "One! China only has one large military base in Djibouti."

Journalist: "The US has attacked at least 13 countries in the same period. They have 750 military bases in at least 80 countries. Many of them right on China's doorstep. And you still think China is a threat?"

Note: The Republic of Djibouti is a country in the Horn of Africa, bordering Somalia to the south, Ethiopia to the southwest, Eritrea to the north, and the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden to the east.
