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 about that time Putin tried to join NATO but was told "no".

Also that's not the Chinese flag.

That makes far more sense, and there is definitely egg on my face, I was very confused. My apologies for my initial comments tone, it really wasn't necessary.

Thanks for clarifying in such a respectful manner, it wasn't really deserves after my initial comment. Have a wonderful day.
