The Communist Perspective usually is not accurate about anything in reality except hate and evil, and using those two things to advance a political agenda and acquire power.

I believe Cui Tiankai has a point. Was the constant enlarging NATO eastward improving peace in Europe?? Or was it a building threat to others???
In the world of, “what if’s.” What if NATO had not taken in Poland and the others? Could the new countries formed after the USSR break-up, including Russia, been developed into nations friendly to NATO and the US, rather than adversarial???
I believe under the right leadership it could have happened. I also believe a Trump could have made it happen. Based on the negotiations when Germany was re-unified, I believe that was a goal.

“In 1991-1992, we repeatedly promised the Russians verbally and in writing that if they withdraw 100,000 troops from Germany and allow the country to reunite within NATO, then we will not move NATO an inch east. Since then, we've moved the block a thousand miles east and opened up 14 new countries (note - now there are 15). The Russians warned then-Ambassador-now CIA chief Bill Burns that if NATO entered Ukraine, it would be a red line and should not be crossed. Let's put ourselves in the place of the Russians. My uncle (President Kennedy) always said, "Put yourself in your opponent's shoes." - Robert Kennedy Jr.:

Communist China has had its fingers deep in the destabilization of Europe, and this country for a very long time. If there is indeed a failed security architecture in Europe, they been involved in it. Here too.
