America scares me a hell of a lot more than China does.
We are ruled by criminals. So are they - but our criminals are worse. Way worse.

The monster that lurks in the shadows may be weaker but much more frightening because you can not see its whole shape. China is a more formidable monster, The USG is definitely scarier though.
Also China may yet become much more monstrous, as its power grows.
There are no good guys. But also there should be no compromise with bad guys.
