The Chinese have found (or been given) the modern Middle Kingdom under the rule of the Communist Party. What is happening in China is what has always happened in China. Certain invariables that even the Cultural Revolution could not erase from the Chinese nation. What China dislodged during the reign of Mao was out dated forms of these invariables. Confucius is out, Party Chairman's 'thoughts' are in. The West is used to seeing the decrepit aspect of the Chinese and associates that with its characteristic societal structure. But this nation also has an aspect of splendor. This renewed splendor appears to bother some in the West. In fact, any sort of renewal of Asia not under the control of the West is "alarming" to the West. Don't worry. Asians don't hold grudges .. ;)

every country has its history. That does not justify China’s human rights violations. I am all for China overtaking the throne as the global hegemony, if they cared about human rights outside of the Han people. Stopping the genocide on the western part of China would be a start. Either way, US being number two may give us a much needed gut punch. We can trim some of our collective fat.

  I mean, China only got where it's now by stealing tech from the US and EU. Either with spies, or by letting foreign companies "compete" in China, only if they partner up with a local company, and then for the government to clench the foreign company so that they finally quit the market. Also, if the IP was actually protected, Chinese companies would have to pay billions back to the US and EU... I only like Trump because he sees the bigger picture in terms of China being a threat, how much China is making a fool of the west, and also due to the tax cuts.

    are you sure that you've gone through some critical thinking before saying that?

      Are you perhaps Chinese? All your comments are about defending China regarding the same issues. Its funny. Have you heard of those government actors in China that are paid to flag comments and write good comments about the government
