I have a really hard time supporting any non democratic state.

And China is a democratic state, unless you’re just using “democratic” here as a code-word for “western capitalist”, which I’m guessing you are.

I have a very hard time having any empathy for a state that shows such violent aggression against one of their neighbours.

Yeah! That aggression should be shown to countries far away, in the Global South! Invading countries on other continents is fine, just not your own…

I think democracy and free speech is important.

Which is why I will support the enemies of the countries with the greatest history of overthrowing democratic governments, supporting dictatorships, violently suppressing opposition, and murdering journalists. Those countries being the USA and the EU members.

But fully endorsing and saying that we should be like a, for example, China to me is a absolutely horrible idea.

Why? Do they not bomb enough countries for you? Are you horrified to see a country where people are better off each year rather than worse?

I’m also not from the US but rather from Sweden in the EU

And the EU is just as fucking bad as the USA.

China and their non democracy leadership

They are a Democracy, you chauvinist, certainly as much as the West is. You just mean they aren’t western capitalists.

US shouldn’t get to powerful because China should neither have that power.

The US has gotten to powerful, and it’s done far more heinous shit than China ever did. This is peak example of westerners being terrified of non-westerner having power because they assume they’ll be as abusive with it as you have.
