Why should the US unite with corrupt autocracies against our natural allies, who share our enlightened traditions and values? It sounds like you want to live in a world that is safe for corrupt autocrats and everyone else is a slave. If that's the kind of life you want, you should just move to Russia or Hungary instead of trying to drag the rest of the world into that hopeless abyss.
France drug us in to WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Haiti (I would of placed them first but it's still ongoing).
Germany well I shouldn't have to relay their history to you, but they started both WW1 and WW2 and they were our enemies.
Britain is our only natural ally, if you want to use that term (Britain includes Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and all the other of the Commonwealth states).
Russia was our ally in WW2 and bore the brunt of WW2 and was the primary engine of defeat of WW2 Germany (check your history, it's true).
In general France and Germany are bad times and bad I wouldn't call them allies at all.
As far as 1984 is concerned, well it's a dystopian novel.
Have you ever heard of the five eyes?
The five eyes are an anglosphere alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and America.
Read your history and you will see that we had Oligarchs as well and there was plenty of shenanigans going on with our version of them.
China is a bit different, but their culture is so alien to ours and their history goes back so far it can be difficult for us Westerners to understand it's intricacies.
For example I recently discovered that the Uyghur people came about because of the many Mongol and other northeast invasions of China.
I learned this from the Great Courses and not from Wikipedia. I posted this because it is publicly available.
This explains, but not condones, the Chinese treatment of this population as they are descendants of the people group that kept invading and conquering parts of China over the centuries.
History is important and it's effects ripple forward in time.
The Mediterranean Europeans had the same sort of history with the old Muslim Empires.
The difference is how the European governments treat these people groups today.
In short your premise is faulty because it lacks the historical perspective necessary, is based on a dystopian novel, and mid 20th Century American propaganda.
Think what a decades long friendship could bring and how much humanity could benefit from this friendship and the technology we are developing.

They already spy and "oppress" their own people.

That's why Edward Snowden had to flee the Occidental world.
There's over a billion people in China. If they didn't like their government then their government wouldn't be in charge anymore. Period.
You are judging these other nations by Western values.
There hasn't been a Soviet Union since the 90's.
Russia is a major world power that currently resembles late 19th, early 20th century America during the age of the Robber Barons and the Guilded Age.

One could say that it's a Star Trek future. :)
