China on its own a force to be reckoned with, but it has a strong ally called capitalism. Not only can it use capitalism as a stick to beat the west, but it can also use it as a shield. China is a giant market that makes countries and corporations less likely to go against it out of fear of losing access to the Chinese markets. The writing is on the wall for what a Chinese dominated world will look like. Even if it's not total domination, they will have a lot of influence over how the future world will look. Our western liberal democracies have many flaws, but they are a hell of a lot better than what China has planned. It's my impression that they take the worst aspects of the US and amplify it 100x over.

Let's take the Xinjiang camps as example. They are horrible even if we buy into the Chinese propaganda about how they are all smiling and happy to be put into these reeducation camps. In modern day western liberal democracies, how would it be viewed if we did the exact same thing? If we built large camps to put a certain ethic minority into so that we could reeducate them to be more "American" (which would actually be more 'white' if we consider the goal is to make them more culturally Han in China) Wouldn't fly even if we use the most charitable description used in Chinese propaganda. Sure, we have messed up policies on our borders, but compared to China its pretty mild. Also, we can actually discuss and criticize our governments/politicians in order to effect change. Try doing that in China. You think NSA spying was bad, aye?
