China will never be democratic. English is there because it’s easy. There is no default search engine (but there would be one if “democratic” China controlled everything…), same for your Linux crap, who would install this without being forced when there are already a thousand better alternatives.
Sounds boring, you described what would happen if a dictatorship ruled the world (and no whataboutism with the USA, I’m also immune to what they are doing).
That’s the american legal version. If you think about the philosophical concept, it’s waaaayyyy more broad than this.
