Has China ever expressed interest in joining NATO? Was there ever actually a declinature?
New Zealand also isn't part of NATO, does that mean NATO are imperialists AND flightless bird haters?
Or is this another way I'm blinded by western media and China has been begging to get into NATO and they're just not reporting it in my sheeple network?
Edit: lol not a Chinese flag, I am blind and phone screen is small. My bad. Replace China with USSR then I guess?
Edit2: my first edit makes it seem like I meant that this comment still makes sense with USSR in place of China. That's not what mean, so to clarify, Im an idiot and this whole comment can be ignored ❤️
This is the flag of the USSR, not China. China has 5 stars.
NATO has always been an anticommunist war machine principally aimed at the USSR and its allies. It was originally staffed with actual Nazis, too.
I mean you seem to just not know the history or the references being made but are knee-jerk anticommunist anyways, so maybe you should do some self-criticism about humility and politics.
