Eugh. I am not sure how comfortable I am with a world where Xi Jingping is considered the more trustworthy party.

The Chinese government's preferred perception is "philosophical and stable," and all this just plays into that.

The US's... Well, I don't even know anymore.

i mean, don't get me wrong, i may not agree with China's ethos, but it's at least an ethos. Usonia is just basically collapsing under the weight of our own virulent individuality and greed right now.
