My comment might be reported as flame bait but I have to say this. Imagine the Secret Of the Universe™, is discovered. I'm just saying I'd much rather live in a world where such a secret is entrusted into American hands rather than Chinese ones. My point being, do not be careless in applying ideals and ideologies to peoples (or governments in this case) that do not deserve them

You're literally doing that but for the US. The families of countless people killed by the US in its illegal wars over just the past several decades would disagree with you, if they haven't been wiped out themselves. Same goes for the countless people that starved to death from US sanctions because their government refused to bow to the US empire.

Quite the opposite, in fact if you discover such a secret the best thing to do is to put it out in the open for everyone to see, so that no country can use it as a secret tool against others.
