US has enjoyed its privileged position for too long to give it up without a fight and their entire culture centered around their perceived superiority with concepts like Manifest Destiny. China is not going to back down after two centuries of being fucked by everyone and getting fucked themselves, so this century is their version of Manifest Destiny.
