To be honest, I don't think the US military intervention can free people from CCP or other authoritarian regimes. If any of the US, China, Russia go to war, it's undoubtedly will be catastrophic for the planet. I hope the Chinese will have the same sanity level as the Russian so that no one will push the button.
I do accept this as China is a super power and you cannot fight the Chinese and expect peace, a world war will erupt if there is a military action against them and it all depends upon which side Russia will support and if Russia supports the Chinese then it will be catastrophic.
Anyway, to say China will be the king after this pandemic is too short-sighted, wait until WTO privilege about developing country lifted. Then we shall see new dynamics.
There will be a major shift in many sectors like we used to see in the past, this is an awakening call for every nation where they spent billions to military and warfare but an invisible virus forced every country to shut everything, the dynamics will change for the good and no country will be spared from this situation, most of the countries who have manufacturing units in China will ask the companies to move out and Japan already announced a 1.2 billion bail out for companies to move out from China and i am expecting all the major nations doing that and that will have a major impact on the Chinese economy along with the pandemic.
