Your comment is exactly the false comparisons I was talking about. Get the emotions out of the way and rationally evaluate what you just wrote.
China can not start the conflicts because the world will sanction them. Yet they did exactly that to Tibet. They killed so many, took it over and have brainwashed or arrested everyone who clings to Tibetan culture. They invaded India, did you know that? And would have killed or enslaved all of it until the US stopped it (or was it Russia). China if sole superpower would have concquered Japan, Vietnam, South Korea no doubt in my mind and likely attempted the rest of the world as well.

It is not a false comparison just because you say it is.
I also disagree that China would try to conquer the world.
Sure, they invaded India. So did the British. Are you saying if the UK became a superpower again, they would try to conquer the world like they did before?
In more recent history - of the 21st century, at least, China hasn't started any conflicts in the Middle East, that have killed hundreds of thousands of people, and turned millions more into refugees. On the scale of 'how much harm has each empire done', it is not three orders of magnitude away from the competition.
China's repression is targeted internally, for reasons of internal security. The Department of State targets it externally, for reasons of national interests. Comparing the two, or trying to argue which is worse, is apples and oranges. Both groups, here, justify their behavior, by claiming that if they didn't take action, something worse would happen.
