> In short, most countries in the world do not want China to succeed

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I suppose most * developed * countries do not want China to succeed.

But what about African countries? or Latin American countries?

African countries with large Muslim population certainly hate China. As with most other developing Muslim countries.

Pakistan and China have been the strongest of allies since 1970s, Iran and the Middle East heavily trades with China, I've lived in the Middle East for 10+ years, money doesn't lie. More and more "dragon malls" from China are being opened up and local Muslims sometimes go to Chinese universities.
