    Your post implied that all countries outside of the west sided with China when this is clearly not true.

    I didn’t mean to imply all countries, and it’s my mistake for phrasing it like that, sorry.

    Even in Africa there is a lot of pushback among the population (not necessarily the elites) against Chinese imperialism. Sri Lanka is another example where there is a measures of opposition to jingoistic Chinese meddling.

    That’s true. It’s also important to note, at least with Africa, that there is also pushback against ongoing European imperialism, so when it comes to a “do you prefer US or China more” situation like OP, they might still pick one of them while also giving pushback.
