Please don't take one sentence out of a larger context and pretend it represents the argument.

Which, again, you've managed to completely ignore.

The argument, ironically in black and white, so you can sense it, "this isn't a black and white scenario and seeing it as China vs USA blinds you to the complex differences and global geopolitical forces involved."

I get that you don't personally like America, for whatever reason, but you've blinded yourself to sense in your rush to convey your rather negative and absolutely common sensibilities.

Yes, I don't like the US'* self-congratulation we're the good guys-beacon-of democracy bullshit

(The USA, I am fine with the continent of America).

And it's for a reason: I am from one of those countries where US-american meddling buttressed a dictatorship that caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
