Anti-NATO sentiment has become pivotal to China's future and the new world order since recent events have pushed most of the world into America's corner (which hurts China).

Now they're basically compensating for Russia's mess (and won't ever let them forget that).

Anti-NATO (countries) sentiment has existed since those countries invaded and looted China (and many other countries) 200 years ago. This sentiment exists in much of the world but has economic consequences that most countries cannot bare.

Exactly. I think many also forget that Russia is not a traditional enemy of the rest of the world the same way it is to US/EU/Japan. The Cold War vibe in the US right now is like being a kid in the 90s hearing the military guys go apoplectic about "commies" anytime Russia comes up.
