I think that is just fear mongering. I fully expect China to take over the world, at least to the extent the US did, and the US is now failing. China will do it through trade. They don't need the expense of a huge military. If you told the US it could rule the world, but it will take somewhere between 200-500 years, the US would do... Nothing. The country is so young that timeline would be ridiculous. China, its culture and identity, is thousands of years old. Building the Great Wall took 2300 years. 500 years is an acceptable wait time for them. Meanwhile, as Don TACO is running off and pissing off US allies daily, and making more enemies as he spouts lies, China is building up Africa, both in infrastructure and international relations, doing the same in the southern former USSR countries, and South and Central America, and are arguably on better terms with the EU than the US, currently.
There is no scenario where the US wins in the long run, not with the unregulated capitalism that has given us the current situation. If the 1% and the corporations don't give the People something, to paraphrase FDR, the socialists will take everything. Socialist countries always come from unregulated capitalist (formerly called feudalist) countries after the People revolt. Historically, the uber rich don't survive, and their wealth certainly doesn't. If the US does not change, it will become like India or the UK--- just another failed world power.
