What I'm afraid of when Xi or China in particular taste power like the American do then its the end of the multipolar world as there will be 2 bullies instead of 1 to contend with.
The best strategy to beat the Collective West or any capitalist individual like Musk is to offer an alternative, this what make China so attractive for us in the global south. We all know Tesla car are inferior without BYD how can we know?
No. In a bipolar or multipolar world, there will be less bullying but more carrots.
So even if the US or China want to bully countries, they now have an alternative to choose from
