China uses its power to make favorable deals and get people hooked on what it's slinging so it has captive customers. The US uses its power to bully and break rules that apply to everyone else for its own benefit. Kind of a big difference.

Not really. Go ask someone in Tibet/HongKong/Taiwan/Japan/India if China isn't breaking rules and bullying them. If China had US's powers/economy, it would be a much bigger bully.

		What China does with places they think are rebellious provinces is one thing. What the US did to Hawaii, Panama and half a dozen other countries when the local population tried to unyolk themselves from brutal US corporate robbery is another. The Chinese are hard driving businesspeople for the most part, the US is a gangster state.
