    has witnessed growing resentment of cosmopolitan secular elites

    and seldom two red ones
    and frequently two red ones

    (the ASEAN and not a member) of CPEC.
    the ASEAN and a member
    the ASEAN and not the member
    the ASEAN as well as a member
    the ASEAN and nor a member
    No improvement
    Option D
    Instead of using the double ‘not’, as written here, ‘not ASEAN’ and ‘ not a member of CPEC’
    We can join the whole sentence by using ‘nor’,for two non-contrasting grammatically negative items
