NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned the United States that China is building its military at rapid speed - nearly 200 times faster than America.

The secretary general said China has specifically been building ships equipped with sophisticated weapons faster than the US and its western allies, making him 'really worried.'

Rutte's concerns come after China's President Xi Jinping hosted a massive military parade attended by autocrats including Russia's President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Trump responded by accusing the Chinese, Russian and North Korean leaders of using the gathering to conspire against America, and the showcase of military might is widely being seen as a challenge to the US-led world order.

During a NATO defense summit in Prague today, Rutte warned that the US needs to be more prepared militarily.
