I don't interpret what he said as a specific suggestion but rather as saying that they are willing to go after anyone who 'threatens' them. Before the war in Ukraine it was not realistic that Russia would attack NATO because of the consequences and the strength of NATO, but now it is pure fantasy considering how things are going for Russia in Ukraine (and that would also mean NATO entering the war in Ukraine, with the only possible result that Russian troops would be annihilated there in a very short time). Also, Poland has just started delivering tanks to Ukraine so Russia might want to show some teeth but they cannot do much more. A bit like when they say that they could nuke London in a heartbeat... Reuters is trying to spin a non-story, basically.

  Well, that's not what he said in the article and on which the title ought to be based. And, again, that's fantasy. China did not want a war and still wants it to stop ASAP as it's bad for them and only advantageous for the US.
