As in, they've openly said that's what they want to do: https://www.dw.com/en/xi-jinping-china-model-putin-united-states-trump/a-73866651
Right now, China's building its alliances across Latin America, Africa, South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East with that goal.
It's building parallel institutions like SCO ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Cooperation_Organisation ) and the Asian Infrastructure Development Bank ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Infrastructure_Investment_Bank ).
Its pitch to formerly colonised country is that it's the superpower of the global south, counterbalancing the imperialist Western powers.
Join China, and China will help make your country rich like China.
And with Belt & Road, it's building freight infrastructure that will make it easier for countries to trade with China than the US.
While China is methodically and patiently building its global influence over the next decades, America is doing the opposite.
Short-term thinking. Walking away from institutions like NATO. Tariff taxes. Doubling down on white supremacy.
I'm sure Americans will wake up one morning in 2049 and wonder how China came to be the world's dominant superpower.
