Would you rather have the US tell you what to do or China?

While there may be some negative news coverage of China's actions, most of them are within or at their borders.

I have yet to see recent news of them bombing other countries, kidnapping people from around the world and destabilising regions around the world.

In truth, I'd rather have neither of them bullying others but if I had to choose, I think the less violent bully is a better choice.

Neither. I would like there however to be a credible power to challenge U.S. policy, perhaps China even, so that it's hard for both sides to get aggressive policies implemented internationally as there's credible pushback.

Right now, there's practically no pushback on crippling U.S. sanctions against Iran or Venezuela for example.
