I'm saying Chinese destabilization efforts would speed up American decline which would aid China because at this point, the relationship between China and America is zero sum. Also, why should Chinese leaders care about American people? No leader of a great power cares about the suffering of their competitor and you shouldn't expect the same from China. I don't know why you're bringing morality into this.
I do think China will be able to beat America in the long run without destabilization efforts but it's better if they fall apart faster.
Why do you assume that the US declining faster is good for China? Just because current US regime sees it as a zero-sum game doesn't mean China has to as well.
