That's mainly because the USA's flaws have been covered in far more detail, and has also played a bigger role in Latin America. Once those countries start to deal with China more you may find your observations were biased.
- Daishiman 2y agoHow many democratically-elected democracies has China overthrown through bloody dictatorships?
- gowld 2y agoCCP's dictatorship bloodily conquered China, population 1.4B, 20% of the entire planet's people. USA has also rescued hundreds of millions of people (including China!) from bloody conquerers, as in WW II.
- dekhn 2y agoYou're arguing with folks who just want to be angry, not listen to facts or sage observations. (it's not like the US is innocent; we have made a huge number of terrible mistakes attempting to maintain the Pax Americana. I fully acknowledge while being fairly sure that China could and would do far, far worse than the US)
- Daishiman 2y agoThis speculation that China could do far worse is totally unfounded given that they've had plenty of time to push buttons militarily that the US and the Soviet Union had already pushed with much less military power.
- greatpatton 2y agoWhat democratic government did they overthrew? Because the ROC was no more democratic than the CCP... and Taiwan didn't have real election till the 1990.
- vaccineai 2y agoChina is allied with Russia right now to overthrow Ukraine
- HotPotato787 2y agoYou're right, but that's not the point. Being afraid that another state will become the leading superpower and "dictate the international order" when your oligarchical country has been doing the same thing for the past 70~ years, and not in a "cuddly as Mickey Mouse" way, is HILARIOUS. The doublethink is off the charts! hahahaha.
- thomassmith65 2y agoAmerica has been truly 'oligarchal' for approximately the past one month, whereas China has been a totalitarian state for the better part of a century. Why not compare the Allies with the Axis next? The US was segregated, right, so... hey, same difference! /s
- rKarpinski 2y agoThe US has a pretty extensive 100+ year history of imperialism, destabilization and violence in LATM [1], which is where they are from.

- thomassmith65 2y agoEveryone knows that. A surprising number of people don't seem to know the first thing about China. Hey, it might not help that China doesn't allow a fifth of the world to learn the history of China. But let's talk again in four years. The way things are going in America, I may agree with you guys by then :(
