WEF's 8 Predictions for the World in 2030:
#2 - The US won't be the world's leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate.
China describes its system of governance as "Socialism with Chinese characteristics." One of the handful of countries that will dominate.
The inference in that description is that there are other countries that will dominate that will also have the same nomenclature for their systems of governance. Like, say, "Socialism with American (US) characteristics." And, "Socialism with European characteristics." Etc.
It's a global club. Each nation assigned a lane to dominate - China - global manufacturing; United States - global police; Europe - financial sector; etc.
China doesn't seek to dominate the world, to replace the US as the global hegemony. One of a small club of global dominators. Think of it like a global Apalachin Meeting, International Crime Syndicate, to divvy up the spoils and settle differences between the powerful national crime families avoiding wars between the powerful nations.
Using and exploiting the smaller nations for their resources and proxy battles, and using and exploiting the factions within their own nations that threaten them or unproductively consume resources. Blaming China is the product of small thinking or intentional distraction from the far more dangerous criminals running our own nation, and the entire world.
