I guessing you haven't read much of Chinese history? They killed tens of millions of their own people.

If the choice is between the US or China running the world, I'll pick the US, every. single. time.

Objectively speaking, the US history of genocide, slavery and global warfare and terrorist sponsorship even before becoming an uncontested hegemony hardly makes it look better.

Sure, but I would bet that you might just be privileged enough to live nearby the US inner economic circle.
