Having lived and worked in India and Ceylon about one generation after independence, I found their general view of the British Empire was positive. It was far from perfect, but many British administrators worked hard for the general good of their charges.
Look at the Chinese expansion now into Africa, SE Asia and S America, and see a very different empire under construction.
