I wouldn’t really disagree, but I would say both the US and China have many great things about them and some quite bad things about them. Personally, I think that realism does still dominate a lot of international relations, and we should be skeptical of the motives of any nation state because they're all generally more about state security and power than they are about the wellbeing of just normal people anywhere. That includes both the US and China. Maybe not Bhutan.
I'm on the side of peaceful co-development and economic cooperation because that's generally best for the actual lives of normal people on both sides.
