Chinesischer General wirft den USA die Schaffung einer „asiatischen NATO“ vor

1. Do these fuckwits get that NATO is a *defensive* alliance? If you don’t attack NATO, they don’t attack you. And perhaps, just maybe, if China stopped threatening everyone and everything not China, no-one would want to join an Asian NATO.

   Also, NATO should just change it’s main directive to not be just for the North Atlantic, and should allow countries from all over the world in to its collective security alliance. They could still use NATO for the acronym, and just change the official name to No Assholes Treaty Organization. Sorry China, you aren’t invited.

2. Pacific Overseas Territories and American Treaty Organization

3. Most countries wouldn’t be concerned of the creation of a large defensive alliance unless they had aspirations of invading members of said defensive alliance.

4. It’s almost as if there is a country threatening and coercing every neighboring country to the point they would feel safer standing up together.

5. Forget an Asian NATO. Just create a new treaty organization that brings the developed democracies of North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania together under one umbrella. This could include current NATO members (though some countries may need closer look first…yes, that’s looking at you, Orban’s Hungary) as well as bringing in the Pacific developed democracies of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea. Getting Japan and South Korea to play together under one alliance will be a challenge, but they have to eventually see that it is in both of their interests if they’re going to be able to withstand pressures, including economic, from authoritarian China.

   And speaking of economic pressures, the new treaty organization should also work to more closely tie together the economies/trade of members. This needs to be done to create a system where the economies of the developed democracies can better withstand pressures from the authoritarian world.

   It should also work to help bring up countries interested in membership to the up to economic and governance standards of the treaty organization to eventually join much as the EU currently does with states aspiring to join the EU.

6. The Chinese had two options, fostering good relations with neighbours or getting aggressive. They chose getting aggressive.

7. NATO is amazing. If every country was a part of NATO, the world would be a pretty safe place.

   No country would dare invade anyone knowing they would have to take on the rest of the world.

8. Asian NATO sounds like a great idea. Thanks China.

9. It’s about time Asian NATO happened.

10. “How dare you make defensive networks among asian countries making it harder for me to invade them.”

11. Nah, dude. YOU created Asian NATO.

12. I mean, you’re the ones making countries like Japan and South Korea draw closer together. Not to mention all the new deals Japan’s been making with the Philippines, Australia and the like. Hell, even New Zealand’s finally starting to wake up. And it’s all thanks to the completely unnecessary aggression of China itself.

13. I hope it lasts longer than [SEATO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization) did, and includes more countries.

14. Maybe if China stopped behaving like Asian Russia this wouldn’t be happening…

15. Why doesn’t China just make its own Asian NATO, then? They’ve had multiple decades benefitting from the international American system to try and at least pretend to be less self-interested.

16. China needs to stfu, fucking asshole leadership over there

17. I wish America was the monster you say they are

18. Asian defensive alliance thanks to Chinese aggressive attitude lately.

19. When you posture and threaten others, those others tend to build themselves some security. This is self inflicted. Simple cause and effect. I used to think china was smarter than this.

20. Bully complains weaker countries create an alliance to not get bullied.

21. a defensive pact…ok

    has China tried not being a dick to it’s neighbors?

22. I can get behind Asian Nato. Indo, Australia, SE Asian countries and pacific nations

23. Ok China go and form your own defensive “NATO” like alliance… so you have NK and …. oh, no one else wants to join, I wonder why.

24. The thing about NATO is, it’s only if a member is attacked that action is taken.

    If China doesn’t attack its neighbors, they have nothing to worry about.

25. >NATO is a collective security system: its independent member states agree to defend each other against attacks by third parties. During the Cold War, NATO operated as a check on the threat posed by the Soviet Union.

    Why would the USA do such a thing?
    Is there a threat in Asia, which needs to be counteracted? Is someone threatening to attack its neighbors, to seize regions unlawfully and aggressively? Is someone building up a military at a warmongering pace?

    Tell me China, why would anyone create a NATO-lookalike in Asia?

26. What’s with these countries and threatening their neighbors and invading their space and crying foul when they decide to band together

27. Everything would have been hunkydory if they didn’t start building military bases on artificial islands near their neighbor’s territory and claiming that they own the entire South China Sea.

    Their neighbors only decided to unite cause they now have a common enemy.

28. Can Taiwan join? Please let us join SOMETHING.

29. I love how people buy that Nato are the aggresors… So blind

30. They were called World wars for a reason.

31. Any chance we can get that in writing?

    SWPTO incoming (South West Pacific Treaty Organisation, or Sweet Potato)

32. SEATO part 2
