US citizens have a much greater threat from their own government than a government an ocean away.

See, the Snowden Leaks.

Are you saying the Snowden Leaks are more dangerous than a world where the CCP is a global hegemon?

If your focus as an American is being safe as an American, what the US does in other countries is far less of a concern to you than what other countries might do to the US.

In the case of the CCP, they have and will attempt to destabilize the United States of America and in turn make life measurably worse for Americans because they wish to be the world’s hegemon.

Fundamentally, Americans are safer when the United States is the number one power than when China is the number one power.
