> The US has a long track record of obstructing the democratic process in its neighbours in Central and South America. Cuba, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Chile, ... the list does not stop there. The US routinely ignores international law when the law is inconvenient. There is no moral high ground here. USA in 1970-1980 had even worse moral record, which wasn't enough for Europe and Asia to not consider it the moral leader. Similarly, if today's USA actions aren't at moral high ground, China's are definitely a moral ditch, so the comparison still stands. China is unlikely to command bigger share of world resources than USSR did at its height.
