China does have ambitions, sure, but they're mostly local ones. I was mainly talking about cases like Kim Dotcom, where the U.S. reached all the way to NZ. China doesn't have Five Eyes, has not attacked a foreign country etc. It does not mean this cannot change, but I get the feeling China strives for a more local "sphere of influence" strategy, (hence the things like you mentioned), whereas the US strives to maintain "global dominance". As someone sitting in Western Europe, I don't think China has that much interest to dominate here.
