> US is still the most powerful democratic country that supports innovation, freedom, etc.

I would like to believe that, but personally I think that the US supports innovation and freedom when it is in their best interests.

> China is supporting a NK dicatorship which terrorizes its own people, closing off and becoming belligerent, electing a dicatatorship, and threatening other countries.

Saddam Hussien Shah of Iran Mohamed Morsi Islam Karimov Manuel Noriega

That is a short list of about 30 leaders in modern history which the US has supported which are dictators (or Authoritarian), all have human rights abuses and are belligerent.

As far as NK threatening other countries NK is still at war with SK. I do not know the last time NK invaded a country but I am pretty sure the US has been involved in several invasions and incursions of many countries over the past 50 odd years.
