I think a humbled but strong America can be helpful. Provided Taiwan is reunified with the Mainland, better a threat far away across the ocean unifying China and Russia together than against each other as neighbors. Neighboring India's aspirational behavior to be a superpower is annoying enough but competing against two direct neighbors for dominance (who might be potentially working together against you) would not be fun.This should be really easy to understand. The old Chinese saying goes, "There cannot be two tigers living on the same mountain." This has nothing to do with ideology or how anybody conducts themselves. If any country in the world begins to gain power at a rate that can end American dominance, America will find a reason to turn it into the enemy. It could be the most liberal democracy in existance but America's only care is to be the world's ruler and any nation that stands in its way it must justify to the American people why that nation is evil. If China decided to do the easy life of farming and gave all its assets and tech to Canada tomorrow, Canada would be enemy number 1 for America instantly. It's not America-specific either. If America collapsed today, China and Russia would be rivals instead of allies tomorrow because then, they would be the 2 tigers inhabiting the same mountain. It's human nature.
