>>Chinese economic model of government-controlled economic direction, though not perfect, would work better and help all the world's people rather than the select few

Is it better? For some reason average European lives better then Chinese, inequality is also not so huge

"For some reason", really?

The US reconstructed Europe after WW2 using its own funds mostly and has subsidized its defense spending for the past 80 years and counting.

Europe also has enormous amounts of resource wealth expropriated from its many colonies around the world, plus significant ownership stakes in resource supply chains in those countries that persists to this day. Every single Russian oligarch, plus dictators in Asia and Africa have stashed their wealth in European banks.
