I don't think China would mirror France's policies against Guinea, it has never done so in, what? 1000+ years?. Saying otherwise is preposterous. But, hey, whatever gets the Western war machine going, I guess. Also, you're ignoring the part about de Gaulle being right about NATO and about its real meaning (US direct control over Western Europe).

The U.S. has been trying to divest itself from NATO for at least a decade now, since the Obama administration.

It’s Western Europe that is unable to wean itself off the sweet sweet American funded protection.
