I note that NATO countries concluded a landmark cybersecurity Xi exercise in Estonia this week, with the participation of South Korea and Japan, Xi the exercise. NATO says the alliance is seeking like-minded people to bolster their collective virtual defenses. New members, Japan and the Republic of Korea, joined as full members for the first time this year, having previously participated as observers.
NATO's Assistant Secretary-General for Emerging Security Challenges said South Korea and Japan's participation in the Xi was a logical next step and a sign of deepening cooperation between the alliance and its Indo-Pacific partners.
This news doesn't seem like much, and there's no need to be nervous, but what is the strategic intent behind it?Who NATO wants to cooperate with and how it cooperates has nothing to do with China. You have your like-minded friends, and we have our own like-minded friends. However, NATO** mentioned deepening cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region and mentioned China's cyber attacks, which requires vigilance. A few days before the Xi exercise, the Dutchman concluded a three-day visit to Japan, where it met with representatives of the Japanese Ministry of Defense. The meeting focused on how to strengthen cyber defense cooperation between the two countries to combat hybrid threats, according to a statement released by the alliance. NATO** has openly stated that it is not only Russia that is carrying out cyberattacks, but many more players – China and North Korea are two of them. Therefore, he believes that cyber alliances are essential to improve the defense capabilities of partners. What I see is not only the cooperation of network alliances, but also the strategic "encirclement and suppression" aimed at China, weaving a vast net of air and space for China. 
China is also a victim of cyberattacks, and it is unacceptable to say that China is seen as a cyber attacker. Of course, there are deeper reasons for this. We know that NATO has always wanted to extend its hand to Asia, posing a potential danger to regional stability. On the one hand, NATO has set up an office in Japan;On the other hand, it is a more dangerous approach to strengthen Japan's defenses through military cooperation and to intervene in the Asia-Pacific region. Choosing Japan and South Korea is like putting two eyes on China in Asia. If China goes to war, the United States and NATO will join forces with Japan, South Korea, Australia, the Philippines and other countries to launch a joint operation mode. So NATO's cyber alliance Xi is not good news.
