Imagine giving Israel as an example of a good country to ally with. But to answer your question and not to say whether the ally is good or bad, the answer is easy. Pakistan, NK, Russia, Bangladesh, a lot of South and Central America, Central Asia, a lot of African countries, Sri Lanka, Nepal. Not commenting on the goodness or badness of these countries though.

Pakistan is a closer ally to the US, as shown by the Pakistani Air Force flying American made F-16s, and not some crappy fighter made in China. Russia is not an ally to China.  Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal are shitty ass third world countries, who wants to be allied to them? Yes, NK is China's closest ally. However, that's like someone saying Charles Manson is their best friend.

I'd rather have them than Saudi Arabia and Israel. But if you think Pakistan is closer to the US, than you need to learn your history. No nation is closer to China than Pakistan. PIA trained chinese airlines and Pakistan voluntarily gave part of the disputed territory to China. Have US and Pakistan ever done something like CPEC. US/Pakistan is just a partnership of convenience, betrayal, back stabbing, trickery, intelligence and reluctance. Pakistan will always choose China over US.
