Yep. China has one of the worst records on civil, political and religious rights in the world.
For example, Tibet deserves to be a independent country as it is culturally and linguistically quite different from anything Chinese, and historically has at most been an ocassional vassal to China, and yet China invaded it early the Maoist era and has since claimed it to be part of the Chinese homeland. To make it more interesting, China recently made it law that no one could be the reincarnation of anything important without state approval... so China will choose future Dalai Lamas.
Next, most Chinese businesses are completely lacking in ethics. Those in charge of companies that produce lethal products - like anti-freeze containing toothpaste, tarnished pet food, fake medicine, faulty toys ets. - are routinely proud of the fact that they "outsmarted" the west in selling these products. That is, the west is being stupid for assuming that toothpaste is anti-freeze-free and that they are smart for figuring out how to sell dangerous products to make more money.
Next, China has a horribly unilateral trade policy. For example, in order for a foreign company to operate in China, it needs to have a "local partner." This local partner usually steels all of the ideas and manufacuring techniques from the foreign firm and the Chinese government will often kick out the foreign firm or put increasing beauracratic pressure or taxes on the foreign firm until it leaves, once the "local partner" has established itself. China also maintains strict control over its currency which makes the Yuan artificially week and thereby making Chinese exports artificially strong.
China has a horrible environmental track record. They hunt rhinos, bears and tigers all around the world to use one or two organs to make Chinese "medicine." They have also endangered sea-horses by catching them and using them as a form of Viagra. They routinely hunt sharks just for the fins for their soup. They are the main patrons of elephant poaching and ivory sales. They are also they main culprits for massive deforestation in countries ranging from Indonesia to Cameroon.
Next, there is their foreign policy. China has absolutely so ethical qualms, it cares only for face and money. China has maintained very strong relations with Iran and Sudan simply to get cheap oil. In fact, China is the very country that provided arms and money to the horrible Sudanese government that has been slaughtering its people, to insure access to oil reserves in south Sudan.
So, all in all, China is one of the worst countries on earth right now, and is worsening life for nearly everyone. But unfortunately, people are too easily placated by cheap socks to get outraged by the real situation. Furthermore, China has accumulated such a large trade surplus with the US that it can use that as political leverage - if they were to dump their stocks of US dollars, it would lead to large-scale economic decline in the US. Hence, even global leaders are weak in containing this Chinese menace.
I see no good to come out of China.

China is already a superpower and the USA helped make them one. You are dealing with evil men and evil men are in every country not just China. Do not fear and trust in the Lord.
Ask the Lord to intervene with these men to stop their killing of the endangered marine animals. When the Lord deals with someone - they have been dealt with.

Not to mention there are a billion of them. China, like most of asia, puts less of a value on human life. It's not like here where everyone has a list of civil rights as long as a train track. The idea of them becoming a super power is definitely a scary notion.

No. The development of China will encourage, of necessity, respect for western standards of intellectual property and quality products. Japan did it, and China will also -- in time. Since China is no longer trying to push communism (it is now a fascist, not communist state), we have less to fear than under the days of Mao.
