Are you trying to say that it's better to have an "ally" that threatens to invade you than having a "partner" that doesn't?

In fact, China pursues a policy of non-alignment, so it has no allies

Hope this helps, idiot

Isn't Pakistan considered an ally?

Of China? Technically, I believe, no, in the sense of having a mutual defense pact; practically, yes, at least, more so than they are of, say, the US (with whom they also do not have a mutual defense pact), which has legally designated Pakistan a "major non-NATO ally".
