USA is unquestionably the dominant military power and has for decades exercised that military power invading multiple nations and changing their governments. Have you read what USA (and Britain) did to Iran in the 1950s? Indonesia in the 1970s. Chile, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Vietnam, Guatamala, Iraq, Libya and many many more.
US wealth and power has been built and still relies heavily upon the projection of power and use of military force upon other peoples and nations. For decades the US military have operated drone strikes upon alleged 'enemy combatants' in countries where there is no declared state of war, in direct and blatant breach of international law. USA has kidnapped ('extraordinary renditioning') and tortured people outside of the international rules of engagement. USA is a rogue state dependent upon the use of threats and violence to enforce its global hegemony.
Chinas rise to power has been via it manufacturing goods at lower price than any other nation can and paying a higher price for commodities than any other nation can- ie China as a whole is playing the free market game and winning and now the US does not like that it is losing.
Yes you can point to inequity and suppression in China and other autocracies- there are also inequities in the USA- historically slavery, still today racism, massive inequality, use of immigrant labour to suppress wages, but the most brutal of US aggression is external power projection where it has used its secret services and military might to force regime changes and other actions upon other nations.
USA has been the global bully- making the rules and when the rules do not suit it, breaking them. Everyone else has had to play along or get the fuck bombed out of them. That is now changing and China is saying fuck your bullying tariffs- if you want refined rare earths for your military industrial combine- get on your knees and beg. Many around the world are watching with interest. Has the emperor no clothes?
