Long term outlook for China isn't great. They're gdp as a percentage of US gdp peaked in 2022 and China wasn't positioned at all for the AI shift in the economy. I believe that is a big source of the divergent GDP. And Chinese models are running only a few months behind the US but their computational infrastructure is only a 5th of what the US has built. That takes a lot longer to catch up on. Side note... would it surprise you that Chinese ops are funding anti data center protests in the US?
So no, I don't think the future is Chinese. Their population is going off a cliff and while that's true for a lot of nations, the chosen antidote of AI China kind of missed the boat.
History of civilization will always be the history of the near east, europe and egypt. Places like China and India are important nodes, but are secondary. This is history, it already happened, and can't be changed.

History belongs to whichever sect can smash feminism and bring births back up to or above the replacement rate. That’s all there is to it. Feminism is civilizational suicide.

I think I believe parts of this. I do not think people appreciate the population crunch we're going to see. In our lifetime population seems to be a never ending explosion. It was taken us and our institutions a long time to adjust.
But to that point, there is no colonizing mars or some solar system wide species without a constant population impetus. Birth control should be illegal.
