It's fine to evaluate yourself and own personal failures, but you can't speak for half the globe and the oldest and most stable markets in history. China and other developing nations are experiencing economic growth because it was cut off from most of world trade during the Cold War, and has now re-joined the global market. Before the 19th and 20th centuries, and before industrialization and being overtaken and weakened by European and Japanese imperialism during, China and India had been the largest economies and relied on their large populations to outproduce most of the world.
It's a great accomplishment to bring hundreds of millions of the population out of poverty, but communism never works. It causes corruption, waste of resources, and gives the illusion of a planned economy, free of recessions. Market corrections and recessions serve a purposes and changes behavior. The CCP functions more like a single corporation rather than a nation, and the recent hostile stance is not all because of Trump's aggression and trade war. In China, there are many economic, environmental, human rights, and structural weaknesses that are being brought to light. The question of what will happen when the growth slows substantially, is a genuine one.
If the US, put Apple Inc. or Google as the global representative of the American system of government, culture, and economics, we'd appear as organized as the CCP as well. It's good to prepare for war, but a direct war with the US won't happen. China will definitely defend itself if attacked or if it's frontiers are threatened; but there is nothing to gain from going to war directly with the United States. The U.S. and Russia defense strategy is to make war unwinnable and as close to nonvalue added as possible. The U.S. and Russia could destroy the planet, and the U.S. economy alone affects the global market, so there won't a direct war.
It's likely there could be proxy conflicts similar to the Cold War. Both sides could arm the enemies of each other, and would be hostile to smaller nations picking sides. It's likely that China is already using North Korea as a proxy to harass the US. I don't see a war because China is proud of what it has accomplished and would like to be treated as an equal to the US; and they want the rest of the international community to recognize that as well. The nuclear threat from the US is an effective deterrent and China is surrounded by American forces and allies. They could challenge India, since it doesn't have a security agreement with the US, but not America directly.
