N2  - This article explores and assesses NATO's various options for dealing with Chinese power. Firstly, in terms of military approaches, we argue that NATO is unlikely to play a substantial role in US-led efforts to balance China in the Indo-Pacific region, or to designate China as a 'threat' in the North Atlantic area. Given that a clear-cut geographic division of labour between the United States and European partners would weaken the Alliance's cohesion, NATO should instead focus on better integrating the 'China factor' into its military planning, in anticipation of the knock-on effects that a crisis in Asia could have on the European theatre. Secondly, in terms of the political approaches, although a formal expansion of NATO's competencies is unlikely, stronger coordination with Indo-Pacific actors and with the European Commission could help overcome many of the Alliance's geographic and functional limitations in dealing with China
