> Shitty westerners have no right for they have no skin in this game. That's not completely true at present. Westerners have an interest in how Chinese government treats its people. 1. As the border disputes between China and India, the claiming of the South China Sea, and overseas investments as part of the Belt-and-Road initiatives show, the Chinese government may have an expansionist, imperialist and/or colonising ambition. This means that it is not only current Chinese citizens but also potential Chinese subjects that need to be wary of Chinese government. 2. Many neighbors of China are allies of the West; SK, Japan, India. Many have an economic interest that the South-China Sea is politically neutral. 3. Because Chinese expansionism and imperialism is a possibility, it becomes of concern how the Chinese government how Chinese government treats its minorities and frontier populations, and it isn't good at all. The people of Tibet, Xinjiang, HK, Taiwan all acutely face threat to their personal freedoms from CCP rule. As a corollary, you may contrast this to US imperialism. Because of its superpower position/ambitions, its government is similarly of global interest. Contrast the reception; US citizens actively and openly criticize the US government's abuses of personal freedoms and unjustified attempts at imperialism.

  Neighboring countries will face a huge economic burden in the case that the CCP loses control and an internal power struggle begins. A peaceful transition of power in China is extremely unlikely. The Chinese model of transition is bitter and long civil wars. In this circumstance, China's neighbors and investors will be affected.
