Be careful with extrapolation. People said the same thing about the USSR, Japan, and the EU.
Sure the US won't be as dominant as they are now forever, but extrapolating China's growth from a very poor developing country to their current level and assuming that means that they might make some kind of leap that allows them to take over the world is going too far.
