> poses a military threat to world peace and stability
You can't be serious. In the past 10 years, the US has been a much greater threat to world peace than China, by a very large margin.

Superpowers bully.
So the question is about how to handle this situation between conflicting interests. We need to figure out how to keep as much peace as we can with two superpowers, and make them both agree to something they feel great about.
These aren't facts but this is how I feel:
With the opportunity to lift all of humanity from poverty around the globe in our lifetimes, and opportunities to use technology to solve physical mysteries, and with global economic trade both can prosper from I hope, I wish, I imagine that there are ways to find a symbiosis.
I'm afraid of hawks playing a game that forces there to be other hawks - of there being a race to the bottom into a cold war (whose balance and controls have been loosening - the US is not without blame here).
How do you feel about it?
Whenever the US intervenes it's either creating a mess or involving itself in a mess that was created by the US in the first place.
Neither the US nor China are evil or good. They are both rationally inclined to their own interests, which compete. Each have their own issues and histories. The US for the most part tries to find solutions that meet ideals and at the same time meet US interests.
