China's GDP will level off, it is only high during the early stages of industrailization.
If you wanna talk about who might be the next hegemon in the world, Look towards the EU instead.
Also China's Nuclear weapons program is shit compared to the US. They have few sea(SLBMS) and air nuclear capabilities. Most of their land launch sites are not mobile and can be easily destroyed. They probably only have a total of less than 30 DF ICBMs. Compared with the US having Long range bombers,trident submarines and hundres of peacekeeper/minutemen missiles, I really don't think China is a threat. Atleast not militarily
