After threatening China at a meeting of NATO leaders in Brussels, China has accused NATO of defaming it.
NATO leaders described China as a "systemic challenge".
NATO had said that all actions, including increasing China's nuclear weapons, are a threat to the "rules-based international order".
This was the first time that NATO had placed China at the center of its agenda.
In response, China has said that its security policy is "defensive in nature" and has urged NATO to "spend its energy on enhancing dialogue."
China's mission in the European Union issued a statement saying, "Increasing our defense and military modernization is reasonable, open, and transparent."
It said NATO should view China's development "reasonably" and "not excuse China's legitimate interests and rights to manipulate factional politics, create conflict and promote geopolitical competition". Make it.'
Neto's statement came after the one-day conference in Brussels on Monday.
This was NATO's first meeting after Joe Biden became US President.
It is a powerful political and military alliance of 30 European and North American countries that sees Russia as a major threat.
Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin are to meet on Wednesday in Geneva.
Why is Nato focusing on China?
The NATO summit statement said that China's ambitions and dogma pose a challenge to the international rules-based order in the world.
The statement said that Nato is concerned about the lack of transparency in China's behavior and the use of propaganda.
NATO chief Yens Stoltenberg told reporters: "We are not entering a cold war. China is not our adversary or enemy. China is the world's leading military and economic power, with a stronghold of the ruling Communist Party over politics, everyday life, and society."
China currently has the largest army in the world, with about two million soldiers on active duty.
NATO is becoming increasingly concerned about China's growing military capabilities. This organization sees the power of China as a threat to the security of its member countries and their democratic values.
In recent years, NATO has also been concerned about China's growing activities in Africa. China has also built military bases in Africa.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, "When it comes to China, I don't think anyone sitting at this table wants to go into a new Cold War with China."
Before this strong message of NATO on China, it was condemned by the G-7 group. This group of the world's largest economies met in England last week.
In a press release, the G-7 countries criticized China for human rights violations and demanded a transparent investigation into the origin of Covid-19.
In response, China's embassy in Britain accused the G-7 group of "lies, rumors and baseless accusations".
