I’m asking you what you think would be different if China was the largest global superpower?
If this is some great fear we’re all supposed to have to the point that we’ll forestall making progress on decarbonizing then it should be easy to clearly articulate what we’re afraid of happening.
I’ve tried to answer, but it’s tough because projecting geopolitics forward is always speculative. Why don’t you go now? Do you think democracy would be safe in that scenario? Is that important, in your opinion?
The democracy I live under now keeps ignoring or delaying action on climate change in favor of things that are less important than the comfortable survival of our species. If it’s trying to convince me it’s worth saving it’s doing a bad job.
My ideological concerns are secondary to my ecological concerns.

Yes, if that specific bit happened to a nuclear nation, it would be the end of the world as we know it.
Do you think a world dominated by autocracies again would be fine, basically?
