Even the evil adjective starts to look debatable in contrast to what current hegemony is doing on its way down.

Apparently their worst offence so far was calmly outgrowing and out competing their peers while benefiting global consumers with he fruits of organized labor of their own society.

Iam sceptical whether china is more evil than the current and historic US. Both countries have commited atrocities but the US was way more involved "for their interests overseas". Maybe the western distrust towards china will make it a different power equilibrium.

If you think that's the worst offence then you should check the recent and past news more often.

Stop getting Chinese territory under your fishing boats! Leave immediately for correct and healthy harmony! Fires water cannon

		As opposed to America who uses cruise missiles on fishing boats in a different continent?

Maoist protracted people's war has traditionally relied on being less of an asshole to the peasants than the enemy.

I was referring more to the millions of Uyghurs in political prisons and their overreaching surveillance of the population.

And I was just speaking of what I think about China, not saying the current US administration is any better. I don't think it will be there forever though.

		Right the Uyghurs, a word we never knew before. When faced with credible threat of islamic terror in their country China implemented some harsh, systemic ideas about what to do with it. I'm sure if they just started two wars in the middle east instead the western community would be way more lenient towards them. China did what it though was the correct thing and the west happily classified it as racism and religious persecution. However when the pandemic came China had zero restraint towards applying harsh measures on the bulk of their population regardless of race and relligion. And while their solutions are harsh and possibly incorrect is it really unique on the global stage? US, the shining city on the hill, when faced with a problem of having inadequate social support systems to help the more recent immigrants decided that it will try to build concentration camps on the teritorry of one of their closest vassals. This can't be correct or humane solution either. And when it comes to surveillance, China is on the forefront, but US and UK closely follow. What's different is that China does their surveillance overtly and tries to make it socially useful. I don't for one second believe that technologically Palantir and such are more than one step behind.

I'm particularly annoyed that the US is for the people of Iran and not, like China, for the government of Iran. And the US putting secondary sanctions on Russian oil to starve Putin from Chinese and Indian oil revenues? Disgusting.
