There are many people who are relaxed or even positive about the Chinese government being in this position of dominance, but this is the most powerful authoritarian government in the world, run by a single party and increasingly by a single person, they have enormous economic and technological power, and they are already running probably the most sophisticated surveillance state to have ever existed, with a direct impact on their citizens daily life.

and yet China has been at peace for the past 50 years. in the same 50 years, the US has unilaterally sanctioned and bombed countless countries, killing millions of civilians.

seems to me that the US is the authoritarian govt the world should fear.
