That's not new though, which I think is what the poster is pointing to. China has always been an economic competitor and has been violating human rights for a very long time. There seems to be more attention on it now though.
> China is not the superpower anyone wants leading the world given their track record.
Anyone? Really? I think a good number of people on this planet is fed up with the US leading the world with its own track record. Not saying I agree with them but saying no one would be happy to see China surpass the US is wrong in my opinion.

I would say most people who wish to see a free and liberalized world and are well-informed on China's ambitions would not want a world led by them. Obviously, nationalists and people with financial ties/interests in China would.
China wasn't always an economic competitor though, just that their economy has grown at a large rate for a long time to become almost as large as the US.
