Not sure where you're getting that from since the only claim I have made about the US (by implication) is that I think China is worse.
China has not bombed entire countries into ruble. China is not currently sponsoring a state sponsored act of genocide.
I don’t really care what peoples “feelings” are on this. It’s a fact that America has fucked over literally billions of people over absolutely nothing. This is something that China has not done.
Speaking about incentives, China has an incentive to NOT do this. Their economy thrives on a global strong middle class that can buy goods. America does not have this incentive. America’s incentive is to create petrodollar dominance through its military.
So yes, I’m not going to be cheering on China because superpowers generally mean people suffer. I will however cheer on America’s sliding into irrelevance and weakness because it literally means less dead kids and less burnt generations.

Evidently we don't live on the same planet.
You weren't responding to "each and every reader", you were responding to me. Your "figure of speech" was not justified when responding to me. Whether it would be justified when responding to someone else is irrelevant.
Oh, not over nothing... Israel has to exist, because if Israel doesn't exist then Israel won't exist. Which is why Israel obviously has to always exist.

The ongoing oppression of Uighurs, Tiananmen Massacre? Clearly China would do equally worse acts as US if she had the power US has.

Never thought about it like this... Maybe you're correct and a China-dominated world would be less violent. Still, the cultural homogenization policy they employ would clearly cause much harm if their borders were wider. Just look at the amount of oppression it's resulting in at the moment.
Right - it has a different style.
Instead, its government happily supported the genocidal Khmer Rouge, invaded Vietnam in retaliation for overthrowing that regime, and currently provides diplomatic, financial, and technical support to the Russian government which is currently bombing Ukraine into rubble (or as you cutely put it, "ruble").
Because hey, there's no point in China's regime letting a peccadillo such as Putin's murderous assault on Ukraine come between their limitless friendship, now is there?
