Values are not objectively good or bad. They are abstractions of a people's achievements over adversity.

Haven't those values been perverted and violated again and again? What's left of the USA you envision?

Don’t get me wrong. I share these values but objectively the USA are as good as any other imperium. The pain it has inflicted on people is immense

agree completely

but put china at the super power, projecting "values" and power.

I prefer USA and its constitution projecting "values" and power.

selfishly and globally.

Me too, of course. Of all the bad choices, the USA is still the best. China is a joke. Incapable of representing an ideal. They'll never amount to anything meaningful. The opportunism in that country is staggering.
