Jingoism? You want a totalitarian country that puts little or no value on human life to become the world's superpower? Yea, we are corrupt, but that's because our system has been corrupted, not because the ideas are inherently evil. Chinese communism is nothing more than feudal mercantilism. Look at what they're doing to Africa. While our billions are ineffectual and have been mostly stolen, they are gobbling it all up like we have been accused of doing to three generations. They're pretty much guilty of everything we've been wrongly accused of, and the the world is silent.
There's no question they're ascendant unless the people revolt, and we've also seen how the CCP deals with that.
