  1. the thing is... the USA kinda did all the things the CCP is doing just in a different way, expansion, threats of violence, securing it's national interests, creating a culture and identity that sees itself as better than the rest of the world, in fact all major nations have done this and all minor nations at some point have attempted this, even the USA well before ww1 was going around fighting and expanding it's sphere of influence and getting involved in the games of the rest of the world, ww1 and ww2, the outcome of which placed the USA as the world's super power and enabled the current system because it is most beneficial to itself as well as the threat of nuclear war forcing the world to behave less imperialistic or desire to expand their lands. China does want to rule the world but it can only start doing so by trying to rule Asia, just like the USA started it's global reach by taking over and ruling first North America and then securing South america, China as a totalitarian state is quite different from the fascist, national socialist or even soviet era dictatorships, they might use the same methodes sometimes but the level of technology is so vastly different from before that it's unclear if the western nations can compete both short and long term. the closest regime China currently looks like would be to me at least national socialist germany, it's han chinese focus, attempt at controling/raising birthrates, it's militarism and desire for expansion and securing what it sees as former lands of it's own like Taiwan, however we can't assume that just because that regime in the past was defeated through a global effort in a time very different from today that this is inevitable to be repeated again, China has many more people, has more lands, has better technology, has global trade networks and a less confident USA or powerfull European allies to draw from, Russia is China's ally for the most part and while China focuses on Taiwan today it's already trying to secure India through it's controle of the water supply in Tibet. now do I think China is going to be the world's super power? no, not realy, I think it will be, a superpower on the continent of asia as well as new super powers coming to dominate other parts of the world, I think the era of US sole super power status is coming to an end and we are moving towards a multipolar world and have to come to terms with a new orientation of power which may or may not lead to another global conflict, the world simply can't stay within status quo reality forever, history shows us how this never lasts forever.
