Ok but if the CCP is authoritarian and takes control of everything, it will be your problem. Unless you are part of the CCP, or just a troll.

The king is dead, long live the King...
For most non westerns nothing will really change if the king sits in Washington or Beijing. If you think it does you have been drowned in US propaganda. Maybe the biggest historical difference is that Beijing builds, and Washington bombs cities in the global south.

Hah, you clearly don't have a balanced view. US doesn't install pure puppet oligarchs and mass surveillance tech. CCP does whatever it takes to expand economic influence and tighten their autocratic control.
TLDR: CCP doesn't answer to the people. US gov at least has open elections.
I agree that at this moment, a poor person in central africa should not care 1% between US and CCP. But for their descendants, yes they should care.
But don't be afraid of China taking over US cyberspace, I wouldn't be surprised that the Anglo-Europeans will build their Hadrian fire wall. To keep the Eurasian troll armies out of their part of the cyber world. This might all grow out of the clean network initiative.
