One-dimensional arguments are rarely applicable in trying to discover reasons for, and implications of, foreign policy.

China is one of the most exploitative world powers in its relations with resource-rich developing countries. And it's no stretch to say that without the Soviet push for communism to take root in Latin America, the USA would have had little need to support authoritarian right-wing governments there.

And the USA is the most exploitative country. By far.

It's odd watching US Americans (I presume) attack China while defending their own country's horrendous record (witness your cavalier setting aside of the CIA's evil doings in South and Central America). You simply don't appear to understand that a large number of people don't like super-states and that includes both the USA and China (and also the USSR up until its dissolution).
