Why China is Terrified of Asian NATO

Discover why China is deeply concerned about the potential formation of an Asian NATO in this video. As tensions rise in the Asia-Pacific, China faces increasing opposition from countries like Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, who seek to counter its aggressive actions. We explore how these nations, along with the U.S., are forging alliances and bolstering military capabilities to ensure regional stability. Could an Asian NATO change the balance of power?

Let's have Asian countries join NATO. We can then rename NATO to Pacific Ocean Trans Atlantic Treaty Organization, or POTATO for short

[kateryan]

Let's all further help the Chinese out by reducing any Made-in-China purchases whenever humanly possible.

China: I can do what I want. but not you other countries, that's bad 🤦‍♂️

[wh_am_]

India would be the Turkey of a Pacific NATO

[joshuayang]

Taiwan: another thing that seems so good but we just can't join

[RelixasVlogsandGameClips]

this is literally the textbook definition of the meme:
asia: can we have a similiar organization like nato?
china: we have nato at home.

No idea how China thinks it can claim the entire south china sea right down to Riau Islands. Have they looked at a map? Their country is nowhere near it. Riau Islands are like 2000km away from their land, that's almost the entire length of their huge country away from them. Pure Greed

In the '60s we tried SEATO, but except for Japan and Taiwan, all potential members were as nasty as the enemys.

China sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

China reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

If I remember correctly there was a SEATO before

[MrQuinn-tcuo]

Pacific Asian Navel Defense Alliance aka. P.A.N.D.A

[pickleballer]

"Asian NATO"? You mean SEATO (South East Asian Treaty Organization)? There was such a thing. It disbanded in 1977, but maybe with China's aggressive gestures in the China Sea, it's time for a revival. If so, I definitely think @LionHeartSamy 's suggestion of naming it "Pacific Ocean Trans Atlantic Treaty Organization (POTATO) is definitely the best way to go.

[arrjay]

It sounds like a good idea. Initial members would probably be Japan, South Korea, Philippines and Australia, with countries like New Zealand and Brunei coming along shortly thereafter, and some on the Pacific Island states. India may join depending upon how China continues to act along its borders.
A separate question would be if it would be associated with NATO or would it be a separate entity. If the United States and Canada get involved, you would have overlapping commitments. This would raise the question as to whether there should be a formal alliance with NATO, changing its mandate. You could wind up with it becoming "The Brussels Pact", or some other amorphous title not necessarily associated with a single region.

Chinese wumao will hate this real facts 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[helixator]

Australians will be very supportive of this proposed new alliance but to really lock in that support, (and I can’t stress this enough), it must be called the Chinese Unsociability Neutralising Treaty States.

Back in early 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, I predicted an eventual "League of Free Nations" as it were, for want of any better thought out name. I believe ALL nations which qualify, by means of being a free, liberal democracy, should unite to combat the opposite bloc -- namely China, N.Korea, Iran, Belarus and Russia primarily. This free league of nations could unite NATO with all the significant Pacific-oriented nations -- Australia, NZ, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, S. Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, India and the small island nations such as Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. I see it as an inevitable outcome of the world dividing into the Free nations and the Fascist nations. And it would be incredibly powerful. With Article 5 applying to all, I don't foresee China or Russia attacking any of these countries.

From a China supporter's perspective, this must be like a bad dream that just keeps getting worse and worse. Of all the World Powers, they've got by far the worst deck to deal with.

- Poor quality military with little training or experience. Quality of new equipment is completely unknown and questionable but often seen as "tofu dreg" by outside commentators (not a good sign).
- Surrounded on all sides by equally-capable neighbours and rivals all with disputes with China (especialy places like India regarding Himalayan rivers).
- Practically zero reliable allies, all allies are purely out of necessity and convenience and very likely would turn on China at any point in the near future. Their most powerful ally (Russia) has been now exposed as a paper tiger/ paper bear.
- Heavily polluted and resource depleted nation that has destroyed their environment in the name of money and power.
- Geography makes it a nightmare to advance outwards for conquering. Various locations like near the South China Sea allow an outsider to completely strangle their economy.
- The most powerful and battle-harderned nation on Earth with very powerful and reliable allies actively sailing in and around "their waters" providing an active deterrant and a promise that if China makes pushes too hard, it would be extremely painful for them. Now talks of another Anti-China alliance in their back yard.
- A very, very vulnerable "Three Gorges Dam" which, if destroyed, could decimate large parts of China and kill an estimated 15 million plus citizens. This on top of some very bad weather events recently like heavy flooding which is already giving the citizens a hard time.

It's going to be a nightmare for them.

Excited for sure 😁 thx for the great content as always

Philippines already defeated China in the Battle of Yultong in Korea Philippine soldiers are real deal bad ass...

[martinbruhn]

Why is it, that these autocracies often have some very central strategic security concern and then take actions, that provoke the exact kind of response, they were so afraid of in the first place? Why are they so bad at anticipating the consequences of their actions?
