Exactly.
The USA has its issues but it has great relations with its neighbours (minus Cuba), while on the other hand China's big neighbours all see China as a threat (except perhaps for Russia).
Seems to me it boils down to the CCP being a ruthless totalitarian regime headed by a dictator-for-life with an increasingly aggressive foreign policy (exhibit A: constant offensive cyberwarfare). Its neighbours can never be comfortable with that.
