Check how Russia and China managed/ manages their unofficial alliances.
You will note the difference and to which side the not powerful Third World would like to align with.
Right now, they want to align with the West. However, if the West is unreliable, then why not seek a reliable friend?

That is why the US has to ensure that they are reliable.
Who loses most? The US or the Third World countries?
US has missed out on rock solid alliances, inspite of great assistance, because they appear arrogant and they mix with the elite and abandon at the earliest compared to the other so called superpowers.
China's 'friendship' is without strings attached. They make friends with the Devil itself. The US acts pious and behaves otherwise with not only string attached, but slowly push countries into vassalage.
Check out Pakistan, notwithstanding big talk of Pakistan.
