Benevolent as the west? Really? Tell that to: Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Libya, India, Palestine… I don’t even want to go on because the list of places screwed over by the west is too long. To say “one can argue” is so handwavey you might’ve broke your wrists.
How many places has China fucked up like the west has? You argue they should be suppressed based on warped hypotheticals, but the reality is China is a better steward of the globe than the west, and this century will bear that truth.
