I’m not sure if you’re just unfamiliar but, no, China is not part of the global north. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_North_and_Global_South?wprov=sfti1

  That's such a ridiculous definition as to be utterly useless for any real analysis. North Korea is "South" and South Korea is "North". Got it. I can't believe anyone would take this stuff seriously. But I'm sure it's popular with the officious busybodies in some international NGOs.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can see how it’s confusing, but it’s a fairly well understood term by people within geopolitical circles. Unless you believe latitude is the most important explanatory variable in geopolitics, I don’t think the edge cases are such a big deal as to prevent us from using global north/south as a shorthand.
