Should China become a World Police?

There was an article in the Wall Street Journal which suggested that China should start acting like a world power and should start taking responsible role in the world politics alongside the US.
Should we even think in those terms. Should a country where this http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704431804574539120649781240.html is the scenario be allowed to police the world?
What will the world come to if China were allowed to perpetrate what they do in their country? What about its Human Rights violations? What about Tiananmen Square? Should we just brush this under the carpet and allow such a country to pick up the baton of a World Police? Or even that of a regional police?
It is known to have helped Pakistan develop A-Bomb and is known to have supported North Korea build similar bombs.
Can we expect a country which does not allow basic freedom to its own citizens to act as a monitor to the other countries?
Here is a country which has claimed Tibet, another independent country as its own, and has destroyed the local populace. It has no qualms in staking claim to parts of Arunachal Pradesh in India and Sikkim and Bhutan. It has gleefully accepted pieces of India from Pakistan as gift, thanks to the stupid Indian policitcal leaders.
How can we trust such a country to police the world? It is a ridiculous suggestion. How can the currency of such a country become the standard for the world? Another ridiculous suggestion that has been going on in the financial circuits.
God forbid, we come to such state where China starts monitoring the world peace.
