Ah yes - peace in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Serbia, Rwanda... Much peace, such prosperity.

I wouldn't choose China over the US any day of the week, but over the last 3 decades they've objectively been more pacifist and prosperous than most US client states. Please tone down the jingo.



I’m not so sure that China is “pacifist and prosperous” compared to the US. What I am sure of is that you just have not heard of many cases where they haven’t been, because it’s China.


There’s no question that the average person in any random country has more to worry about from the United States than China. Whether the U.S. or China is a nicer country to live in is a different question.
