Powerhungry?? who went around the world to conquer and colonize for power? a hint, it's not China.
You are as much to blame for the whole Vietnam war as we in the West are over here.
You slaughtered the tibettans when all they tried was to protect their way of life, that they had developed since thousands of years.
You continue to oppress your own people. If indoctrination and propaganda doesn't do the trick, you stick 'm in re-education camps where they can be filtered out into the stubborn and the meek, the stubborn getting "treatments" that are as severe as actual torture and organ harvesting. That is ofcourse, to drive the meek into obedience, which is why your government lets rumors of that filter into western media.
You hope to pull us into regional wars, then accuse us of being evil for comitting any forces at all to such fights, which are built up in highly secret ways, then you want to be allowed to build up a huge military with the funds you gained by showing your nice face.
except, once again, after WW1 and WW2, we're just not that stupid over here anymore. And we can play all those various board games and card games just as good as you. We've proven that by now.
So : NO MORE DEBT TRAPPING! NO MORE TORTURE OF PEOPLE INSIDE RE-EDUCATION CAMPS! NO MORE FORCED ORGAN HARVESTING! NO MORE (GRADUAL/IMMEDIATE) THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY! (i could go on, but i thought i'd list just the most important items on our litany of complaints about China)..
if you want to be allowed to become a multi polar power, with international allies, with your own space stations, with a military that matches that of the west in terms of actual strength, then you'd better start showing an honest and nice face all the time, and leave all of your coercive ways behind you from now on. the international alliance against China is being built already, time is running out as of about 2 months ago.
