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.
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.
