And that’s a China that has had economic and military power at an international level for less than 2 decades.
All that being said, there’s no real point in comparing which one has been historically worse to determine who is destabilizing the world more in any given situation.
And while the political rhetoric in the US could be better, Chinese actions worldwide, are far more destabilizing than anything the US has been doing, especially since it got out of Iraq.
Interestingly, what’s happening in Pakistan (and Afghanistan) since the U.S. left Afghanistan shows that even what one could reasonably saw were clear negative actions by the U.S., such as its occupation of Afghanistan, may not have been as clear in hindsight.
