As I quoted above, the West doesn't need to "tarnish" anyones image....all the media does is report, which it's supposed to do.
I have linked several Western news outlet that speak about the atrocities in India. The West also spoke up for the Uyghurs whereas our Muslims brethren (other than Turkey) choose to ignore their plight.
As for an alliance with China, it's a pipe dream. China only cares about China.....OBOR & CPEC are its way of claiming dominance in the region....it's a mutually beneficial economic partnership, not a military alliance.
NATO is a military alliance.
Also, this is what the common Chinese thinks of "allies":
See how he calls "allies" "bloodsuckers"??
That's the common Chinese pov....China plays alone and has played alone in the past too.
