One surprising thing I heard yesterday is that economist are worried because China's economy appears to be flattening -- they've had less than 3% GDP growth the past three years, and each year it's been falling a little. At the beginning of the 20th century, they were the world's third largest economy, and at the beginning of the 21st, they're still the world's 3rd largest economy.
The US hegemony was born out of World War 2. Maybe China will remember this and engineer a cataclysmic war to bring them out front?
