I don't see China as a leader, particularly. Or America, Europe, or anyone elese. The OP's question is framed in the wrong way.
I sort of see it like this:
Future of China: In massively fortified luxury bunkers, the elite consume internationally famous luxury brands like Gucci or Louis Vuiton. They send
their kids to famous international schools with the children of elites of other nations, and they do business with such elites in other countries.
They dervive their wealth from holdings in global companies with production bases all over the planet. Meanwhile, outside, masses of wetched,
poverty-stricken, illiterate near-corpses huddles in shacks amidst a ruined, toxic landscape.
Future of the USA: In massively fortified luxury bunkers, the elite consume internationally famous luxury brands like Gucci or Louis Vuiton. They
send their kids to famous international schools with the children of elites of other nations, and they do business with such elites in other
countries. They dervive their wealth from holdings in global companies with production bases all over the planet. Meanwhile, outside, masses of
wetched, poverty-stricken, illiterate near-corpses huddles in shacks amidst a ruined, toxic landscape.
Future of Europe: In massively fortified luxury bunkers, the elite consume internationally famous luxury brands like Gucci or Louis Vuiton. They send
their kids to famous international schools with the children of elites of other nations, and they do business with such elites in other countries.
