Nato summit: No new Cold War with China



Nato leaders meeting for a summit in Brussels has warned of the military threat posed by China, saying its behavior is a "systemic challenge".

China, they said, was rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, was "opaque" about its military modernization, and was co-operating militarily with Russia.

Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg warned China was "coming closer" to Nato in military and technological terms.

But he stressed the alliance did not want a new Cold War with China.

Nato is a powerful political and military alliance between 30 European and North American countries. It was established after World War Two in response to the threat of communist expansion.

He now says his parents, who were paid $200 for the photo, never signed a release authorizing the use of his image on the album and that it constitutes child pornography. According to Variety, Elden's lawyer, Robert Y. Lewis, says that the shot makes the baby appear "like a sex worker" and that Elden was exploited to boost the album's sales and increase its attention.
