What is laughable is that Xi's fantasies of China's grandeur are not borne out by history. Even in Asia, if you want to be historical, the Mongol empire was much more extensive than China's ever was. Russia controls much more territory, some of it taken from China. From the early 19th century, a number of small, mostly European countries held sway over China's external trade. Even little Japan conquered large areas of China. Frankly, if Japan had not attacked the US, they may well have conquered all of China. The last time China projected power by sea was in the 15th century. So, where do these dreams of grandeur come from?
As for having enough, or not enough, people, Xi is delusional, as usual. China's population is projected to fall to 500M by the end of this century. Most of them will be poor. Coupled with their poor geography China is headed toward third world status, not global hegemony.
