\nAt the June 2021 NATO Summit, Allies agreed that \u201c[we] will engage China with a view to de fending the security interests of the Alliance\u201d, as \u201cChina\u2019s stated ambitions and assertive behaviour present systemic challenges to the rules-based international order and to areas relevant to Alliance security\u201d. For Washington, it was a win to have NATO, the cornerstone of the United States\u2019 network of alliances, acknowledge the challenge posed by China and expand the Alliance\u2019s predominantly transatlantic focus. <\/p>\n
During his visit to Europe in Spring 2021, President Biden signalled that \u201cAmerica was back\u201d with a clear vision for NATO and that he was seeking European partners\u2019 support. The US President\u2019s recommitment to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty is premised on the expectation that NATO address the country\u2019s current and future strategic concerns, in a security and geopolitical environment that has dramatically changed these last twenty years. China, technological competition, climate change, and hybrid threats and their destabilizing effects on NATO member states\u2019 political cohesion, are now at the core of the US strategic agenda. These priorities redefine NATO\u2019s purpose. In this context, NATO\u2019s new Strategic Concept, to be presented in 2022, aims at addressing these very changes, especially as the Alliance enters the post-Afghanistan era.<\/p>\n
