No. Just because the US has become worse than before and China didn't, even if the US closed in on how bad China is, that doesn't make China better than the US. More reliable, yes, but not better.

Reliability is a big part of a good trading partner. Also helps if you can be reasoned with.

Cheap (slave) labor is also good for trade I guess. And an authoritarian regime is nice for stability.
