For Beijing, any sign of a coalition is close enough to an alliance.
Before invading Ukraine, Russian president Vladimir Putin repeatedly called for NATO to be scaled back in Europe, warning that it threatened Russian security. Now, Beijing is warning the United States and its allies against creating a version of NATO in the Indo-Pacific.
According to Bloomberg, China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, claimed that the United States is attempting to create an anti-Chinese alliance.
"The perverse actions run counter to the common aspiration of the region for peace, development, cooperation and win-win outcomes," Wang said. "They are doomed to fail."
Wang also suggested that the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, colloquially known as the "Quad," was similar to the Five Eyes intelligence alliance and the AUKUS defense pact between Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
"The U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy is becoming a byword for bloc politics," Wang claimed. "It professes a desire for international cooperation, but in reality, it is stoking regional rivalry. It talks about multilateralism, but in reality, it is forming exclusive clubs. It claims international rules, but in reality, it is setting and imposing rules suiting itself and its acolytes."

Tell Wang to go beat it, US will do what’s in the best interest of the US.
The Chicoms finally noticed no one wants to play with them except the weird fat kid next door.
I’ve got your wanger hangin Wang.
Not with the crew that's currently running the US.
Hope so. About time we get serious about the Democrat Party, China Edition.
That would be an IPTO.
Japan has been a decent fried of the U.S. ... after we taught them to never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever attack us again.
Good.
But Brandon ain’t.
Not to be too racist about it, but two Wangs don't make a White.
Ok good.
Hey China I think that was created long ago but not as a NATO but something different , LOL
Don’t we already have SEATO: south east asia treaty org.?
Did that die when I wasn’t looking?
Keep in mind, we are trying to elicit China’s aid in stopping the Ukraine invasion. Wonder what price will be. News at 11.
Yes, long ago.
Unlike Russia. China has plans to take over the world. And they have been infiltrating and implementing it for years.
*SEATO was dissolved in 1977*
Reminds me of my younger days.
It was effectively over in May ‘75 when Viet Nam fell. Ferdinand Marcos IMMEDIATELY flew to Peking to kiss Mao’s butt and Thailand gave us 18 months to leave-4 big bases. The most wonderful time in the life of a young GI. The good news is that we found out Viet Nam didn’t like the Chicoms. 58k deaths too late.
Today. India hates Pakistan and China. They hate us too-not smart. Japan is lucky we occupied them-payback.
I think a big war is inevitable. Too many people to hate. We’re still lucky so far. We were on top of the world in the 50’s. WW3 would take u back as long as we’re not too involved-unlikely.
What’s wrong with that, Mr. Yi?
