I'd be happy with a world without a white supremacist hegemonic power, but I don't think if China were to be the worlds only superpower we'd live in a better world.
Currently the world's superpowers are committing a second Holocaust in Gaza. It's possible that 500,000 are dead (population was 2.1m before genocide began, Trump said there's 1.6m in Gaza when negotiating with Israel). The EU is just as complicit in this genocide as the US. That's just what's happening now, one of many American atrocities.
With that in mind: what has China ever done in history to make you so much more scared of them?
I don't disagree that EU and US do terrible things across all over the world. Palestinian genocide is a good example of why the world would be better off if it isn't ruled by either the US or the EU. But these horrible things will continue to happen without one, two or three global superpower. It's not like UN is really able to make a difference. The reason I'm more scared for China is not of how they have treated the people in other countries, but how they treat their own people. Do you have an example of how China helped a nation or people in a way that is western countries haven't?
