>So you are saying China don't want their neighbors to defend themselves?

Absolutely not, and especially so if those neighbors were aligning with the USA. Do you think China would be excited about Taiwan or Mongolia forming a military alliance with the USA? Even if it is defensive?

Read point 2. It clearly condemns defensive Alliances.

“The security of a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs.“

...

“All parties should oppose the pursuit of one's own security at the cost of others' security, prevent bloc confrontation, and work together for peace and stability on the Eurasian Continent.“

I can't think of another way to read this

It's a weak argument when the aggressor invaded. If we go with that line of thinking, then Russia "invaded" to "defend themselves".

Should we complain about homeowners installing locks and security cameras on their houses?

“The security of a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs.“

Perhaps then China doesn't need to build military bases in South China Sea?

I'm not interested in debating Russia's motivations. I'm talking about what China literally said they oppose. They said that they oppose military alliances.

You might disagree with China's perspective or think they are hypocrites and that's fine, but that doesn't change the point of what they said
