China has absolutely no ideological allies, there
is no other country in this world that is sharing China's views of the global order

China is roughly 20% of the world's population, more that the sum of Europe, England and the U.S. combined. When Chinese nationals struggle to find a consensus, they have more people represented at the table than almost ALL of your 'Western' society.

During the past 50 years China has lifted 400 million people out of poverty, while India and all of Africa have languished in post-colonial squalor, victims of the 'Western values' that you extol.

Nation-states do not have 'views'. Elites that run nations do have agendas, and yes: China's elites' agenda is unique to a country of its size, history and culture. Since Deng Xiaoping, this agenda has ensured that China is neither a dictatorship nor a communist autocratic state.

Western nations are allied to each others
through various common grounds such as their democratic views of what is right or wrong,
their judeo-christian cultural roots, etc.

Western philosophic 'views' celebrate diversity and individuality. Why do you find China's variance from your own values so disturbing?

I suspect that your own homeland has a variety of social problems that would benefit from your scrutiny. No doubt your understanding of your own culture is superior to your untutored criticism of distant societies.
