The way they undermine them also spreads authoritarianism, which is a side effect you may or may not be okay with.

You can literally make this argument anywhere.

Any good China does for its people or for other nations? That will just serve to legitimize their totalitarian government and encourage imitations abroad. Ergo it's bad.

In general it's better to state your fundamental premises at the beginning of the argument rather than reveal them midway through
