Yes I agree with your premise. Now if there is a country on top of said pile of successful countries, would you rather it be China?

Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita
It doesn't matter to me "who is on top". But if it's China that might lead to more openness for their society, and two billion people wanting more 'Free Trade and Capitalism', with mutually exchanged benefits. Better to be friends than foes. Why are you afraid of China?

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
I meant fear of their growing economy. China is still heavily dependent on other nations for their energy and commodity imports.
