Francis Fukuyama, is that you? Go away, liberal democracies are not the be-all end all of civilization. Autocracies might end one day, but it's neither immediate nor guaranteed. North Korea's boat seems rather steady. Belarus survived a colour revolution a few years ago. Hong Kong is still going to be eaten up by the mainland. Singapore doesn't seem willing to change its political system. Assad has basically taken back Syria from its own anti-government revolution. In cases like the Soviet Union, it took literal decades and one or two generations for the system to collapse. It began in the 60s (some might say even earlier) and collapsed in '91. Over 30 years.
In relation to the West China is indeed more pro-Palestine, but in relation to the Arab world they're more pro-Israel. If you know anything about modern China is that they love ambiguous bullshit that means fuck all to appease both sides, because they love a profit more than any Jew.
India by definition is a regional power. They exert influence in South and Southeast Asia to varying degrees. The US considers them important in containing China. A non-regional power would be Bhutan, Nepal, Austria, Uruguay, Slovenia, etc
