Some of the countries that are USA include some right hellholes. Take large parts of narco-states in Central America that were often ruled by US supported dictators. These countrries have endemic corruption, drug economies and murder rates that would make Hannibal Lecter blush.Wrong, look at China's allies and you'll see lists of failed country, a type of country that China could readily and happily exploit.
@beijingwalker This is the way to address a stabilizing population. USA and UK just import third world labour to drive their taxis, trucks and cleaners. If you land at Heathrow Airport all the cleaners are Indians and most of the taxi drivers are Pakistani's.
Those who croak on about "greying population" think only the West can import gastarbeiter. My local hospital is full of imported Filipino/Indonesian nurses and porters.

China can similiarly import labour from the arc around it's south and east although I would exclude Pakistani's because of the danger they will carry the religious virus which can be more deadly than coronavirus.
