What do you suggest we do to oppose the threat that China poses to democracy and the post WW2 status quo?

[whatshisface]

The same thing they're doing to pose the threat... trade with smaller countries, pressure them not to steal capital assets. But this reference to "democracy" is total propaganda, the US does not use only democratic allies.

Which country being the world power is more likely to lead to more countries being democratic -- The United States or China?

For whatever flaws the US has and the atrocities it has committed China isn't going to suddenly start spreading democracy around the world.
