theyre already a world power and they get a lot more for their foreign aid instead of jist giving money aeay to countries that hate them like the US does. The US ought be more carrot and less stick. Its not like giving away money is the only way to maintain influence/control.

"soft power" is only power if there's a credible threat of flexing it. For example, the USA was giving twice as much money to the WHO than China, yet the WHO sucked China's peepee and not America's, why is that? Because they were reasonably sure that China could withdraw their funding whenever they mentioned Taiwan by name, while American purse was controlled by idiots with the same delusion that you have, that giving someone money gives you power over them so you should never stop giving them money or you lose that power.

I don't really get why people don't like Trump swinging his peepee around. Like yeah he's r-slurred, but what use is soft power if there's no threat? Being toothless and smart, just makes people take advantage of you. While being an r-slured chimp at least makes people think twice about what they offer you.

China spends only $5B-$10B on foreign aid, depending on the year. China builds soft power in the developing world through giant infrastructure projects and predatory lending.

Because the US isn't sending billions of bribe money to other countries and China will just do it?

it's not bribe money it's called influencing lmao, this is literally how the world works. China will step into the hole left and build more influence.
the last time Trump was in office he basically ceded Africa to China. We're basically watching the US lose a great power battle via self inflicted wounds and the lowest IQ form of conservatardism possible.
