If you want US to thwart China, then you have to be consistent and do that to every emerging world power.
That's consistent in a world where we consider emerging powers equivalent. But that's not the case. China is more threatening to our moral framework than the United States was to Britain in the early 20th century. And were China a bastion of rational virtue, we might feel very different about their rise.
