While the USA provokes conflicts across the world, China has promoted economic development, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, building infrastructure, encouraging win-win cooperation.
While the USA can’t sustain the “good guy” image that they used to have in past decades for some reason, the CCP doesn’t automatically become the Good Guy.
The US only sustained the “Good Guy” image to westerners. Bombing and pillaging is all the US has done in it’s entire existence. China’s Belt and Road Initiative lifted over 40 million people out of poverty, with over a trillion dollars invested into the well-being of their fellow humans. Would the US ever do something like that?
The CPC are the good guys because China has been demonstrably a force for good around the wold. And no amount of seething from western racists is going to change this fact.
Sure, let’s just begin with that, because it’s a textbook case of the US 1) being the bad guy and 2) pushing propaganda that China is the bad guy. And you bought into the propaganda, as nearly all Westerners have, including me for years.
China’s human rights abuses should never go unmentioned.
That said, they’ve also been investing in developing countries more than Western nations have. While Westerners focus on cannibalizing their own populations, China sees the value in spreading out and building up where there’s more room for growth.
Americans have nobody but themselves to blame for their increasing irrelevance on the world stage.

There are no “good guys” in geopolitics, but there are guys who builds roads and there are guys who bomb them.
And the US only had a “Good Guy Image” if you didn’t have something they wanted and thought the could take.

Ask the Uighurs how China has demonstrated their Good to them, just to begin with…

I agree with both of you.
