It is no good to see this complex world in binary terms like China vs. US.
As a Latin American you surely noticed how large the China tentacles are. Latin America is full of ongoing Chinese projects where a little local complain trigger a call from the Chinese president.
In Latin America a lot of problems can be explained by internal forces (e.g. corruption). As the Martin Fierro[1] says "Los hermanos sean unidos porque ésa es la ley primera. Tengan unión verdadera en cualquier tiempo que sea, porque si entre ellos se pelean, los devoran los de afuera" [2]
[2] "Let brothers be united, because that’s the first law. Have a true union in any time that goes, because if they fight each other, they get devoured from outside."
