Just look at the actual track record of China and the United States. Domestically, they're both somewhat oppressive, but one benefit China has is that the government controls the billionaires, and in the US, the billionaires control the government. Internationally, though, there is no comparison at all. The US seeks to exploit and dominate other nations: look at Venezuela and the theft of their resources, the attack on Iran, all so the US could control the world's supply of oil and stay rich on the backs of all other nations having to buy oil that they control. China, on the other hand, does business with the world. They build infrastructure in other nations, they HELP them: the US just takes their resources and pays a fraction of their real value. China doesn't go around invading other nations: the US places military bases all over the world and calls other nations aggressors for not liking it. The US has been at war for most of its 250 year existence. Time for someone else to take the lead.

I'm not even going to read the rest of the comment. This is an insane thing to say. Deranged to such an extent that I hope you are on a payroll.

Ever been to the DRC? China's influence there isn't what I'd call great. There are no saints in geopolitics.
