Has China ever expressed interest in joining NATO? Was there ever actually a declinature?

This is the flag of the USSR, not China. China has 5 stars.

New Zealand also isn't part of NATO, does that mean NATO are imperialists AND flightless bird haters?

NATO has always been an anticommunist war machine principally aimed at the USSR and its allies. It was originally staffed with actual Nazis, too.

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?

I mean you seem to just not know the history or the references being made but are knee-jerk anticommunist anyways, so maybe you should do some self-criticism about humility and politics.
