NATO Making China Bad Guy To Justify It's Existence

I have always seen NATO as an Organisation which should have been disbanded years ago when the Cold War ended but it is still around although for a defensive unit, it sure has done a lot of attacking these recent years, Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Libya have all felt the firepower of the 30 countries that make up NATO who have a mission statement that they are: 'Committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes'.
To justify their own existence, they need enemies to protect us from and they currently have Russia to point to but they have also been moving China into the cross-hairs saying the Asia powerhouse is building up its military forces, including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbours, threatening Taiwan and siding with Russia against the West.
China, who has not attacked anybody since 1978, was quick to issue it's own statement asking who exactly is it challenging global security and undermining world peace, pointing out the West's recent wars and asking 'Are there any wars or conflicts over the years where Nato is not involved?'
Unless it has slipped under the radar of all the West's media, China is not backing Israel in it's horrific genocide of the Palestinians, or arming Saudi Arabia as it bombs Yemini back to the stone age, or arming ISIS, or meddling in other nations elections, or marauding around starting illegal wars without UN backing to remove leaders from power, so quite how China can be the scary bogeyman is baffling.  
While the citizens of far too many countries have been burying their dead courtesy of NATO bombs and bullets, China has been busy showing soft power and building up their reputation abroad with trade and exporting expertise globally in infrastructure, especially in building roads, bridges, airports, railways, 5G internet and power stations.
China's economy is second only to the US and is expected to overtake that imminently which brings us to the real reason why the West, through NATO, is desperately attempting to curtail it.
China, to it's credit, is not allowing itself to be bullied by the West and is keen to point out that it has not backed Russia, rather it has kept it's own council over it but when it comes to backing some very dodgy regimes doing some very dodgy things, the real threat building up its military forces, including nuclear weapons and bullying and threatening nations, they can't hold a candle to the warmongering West and it's NATO friends.
