It is not a matter of whether I think that line of work is good or not. It is the practicality. Soon, China will be the next US and the US will be like Switzerland (doing well but removed from the sphere of influence).

I'm not talking about law. China will not be the next US, and the US will never be removed from the sphere of influence due to GDP spent on the MIC and the proliferation of Americans and American PE in the developing world. Globalization mitigates us, but it also puts a floor in on how far we can fall. The US was probably the last great overwhelming superpower, although the possibility of a pandemic or some kind of massive catastrophe doesn't make it impossible.
What you said just fundamentally makes no sense. Lawyers have little to nothing to do with the human rights situation in China, they aren't set up the way we are judicially and they can't challenge certain issues. The US has nothing to do with it, nothing you said really has anything to do with it. It doesn't matter if the US is the dominant country or not, mutually assured destruction exists amongst all countries with the capability of firing long distance nuclear warheads, and if China was a fraction of their strength in every way we still wouldn't do anything other than slightly prod them and make "recommendations."
