Do you think that when China eclipse the US, the world's standards of human rights will devolve?
Q. Do you think that China's ascendancy will spark a "race to the bottom," with other nations having to shed liberties to keep up? Or is it more likely that once Chinese citizens become more affluent, they will become more vocal and demand their natural rights? Yes, China may not engage in the wholesale slaughter of its citizens Pol Pot style, but that's just good business. Any freedoms that are even slightly harmful to the bottom line are shunned. What about freedom of the press, freedom of religion (theirs is a joke), freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, etc?

A. If China will become the next superpower, their shady and oftentimes brutal dealings with its own citizens will be more observed by other nations. I dont think the world will be more receptive of let us say, Chinese soldiers having their bases all around the world, acting as "world policemen" like what the US military is right now. Their communist ideology will make them look like a force that is always trying to convert a host country into their way of life.
