US hasn't been ideal on rule-of-law either....

But the path you're describing is likely, and concerning. If we end up with a China sphere of influence and a US sphere of influence, that won't be great for anyone, except the ruling parties.

Would a single Chinese global influence be better?

I think if we have a US sphere of influence and a Chinese sphere of influence, within a few decades, that's where we'll end up.

Better than a single US global influence? Maybe? Maybe not. US global influence hasn't been too great if you've been keeping tabs.
