> We'd be seeing significantly less concern in the West if the "official" Chinese worldview were more democratic, less authoritarian, more humanistic, and less illiberal. |

As a Chinese have a mostly negative feeling about CCP government, I'm not sure if this is true.

Imagine hypothetically, Chinese government got magically replaced by a democratic regime. Is the intensifying competition between US and China going to stop? I think the same thing like US and Japan competition in the 90's, fuelled by purely economical reasons, will still be there.

While I deeply hope China can get a more liberal government in the future, I don't believe the current concern of US is driven by "belief in democratics".

Also look at non-democratic non-liberal at all countries like Saudi Arab, why US sell F15s to them but have concerns selling chips to China?
