literally every country stands to benefit from the downfall of the US, except itself, israel and maybe canada
The truth seems to be quite contentious here on lemmy lol ๐
Why not? The US runs on imperialism, the only reason why its economy "works" is because it uses its vast financial capital to subjugate and plunder the global south, and bombs, sanctions, coups, invades, etc any country that tries to go against that. The PRC doesn't function that way, and is a big part of development in the global south.

I don't think you really know what you're talking about. You listed off a bunch of buzzwords, but examined none of them. Tibet, for example, was a feudal, slave-driven country run on torture before being liberated by the PLA. It just sounds like you uncritically take the anti-PRC narrative at face value.
Same with BRI, the PRC does not leave countries with immense debt. Not only do they frequently forgive loans, but they also don't come with stipulations requiring giving up sovereignty like western loans do.
You need to step back and actually research what you're talking about, rather than just taking the US State Department at their word. People objected to your entire comment, that's why it's sitting at 9 downvotes and only your one, solitary upvote. The world would be far better off without the genocidal US Empire.
The Dalai Lama was backed by the CIA, and the mode of production was feudalist, relying on slavery and torture. The US backed anti-PRC movements here to destabilize the region, but nevertheless since the PLA liberated Tibet the Xizang autonomous region has seen massive material improvements in key quality of life metrics.
You call it a conspiracy theory, then learn that it's real and immediately leave the convo after defending slavery and theocracy. I can't really take you seriously. Read Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth.
Classic.
