Should China abandon non-alignment?

The "Non-Aligned Movement" was born out of the period of the Cold War and U.S.-Soviet striving for hegemony when the most representative alliances were the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Warsaw Treaty Organization, followed by U.S.-Japan Security Treaty. China has always been the observer and supporter of the "Non-Aligned Movement" all the way.

After the Cold War, the Warsaw Treaty Organization disintegrated and the NATO also lost reason for existing, but the United States and some NATO countries did not abandon the Cold War mentality.

The United States has been pursuing the policy of expanding eastward and westward, pushing the border of NATO to the "doorway" of Russia, and enlarging the influence of U.S.-Japan Security Treaty to contain China.

Under the circumstances, Chinese experts and scholars think that China is "being beset" and should consider allying to gain initiatives.

The United States is unpopular for its pursuit of alliance, and if China also engages in the alliance to contend with the United States, Japan or NATO, a global destructive "new Cold War" will take shape.
