China has a serious problem in the near future with their aging population that is a result of their disastrous long time “one child” policy that was recently softened.
Only time will tell how than pans out for them.
The old men controlling that country should let the younger generations have more of a say.
I suggest that you read about cultural evolution because this topic is a bit much to explain in a few words in a forum. The Weirdest People in the World is the best book I have read recently which explains why Western countries are more highly developed than China, India, or the Middle East...but it's very, very long. Maybe you could find a summary somewhere.
They WERE more developed, but that gap is closing fast. The way things are trending, that won't hold true by 2200.
Case in point, look at historical footage the US in 1945, then look at footage from China. They were DIRT poor, just spend years being invaded by Japan, and were just finding their feet.
To say, well China isn't quite where the US is now, is to ignore this huge historical difference of starting places.
China won't be the next US, they'll be a different country that does things uniquely and will have their own style. But by this point it's fair to say that by 2100 the most of East Asia will be at roughly the same ballpark per capita level and HDI level as the US. Simply put, our median person improvement rate is slower than theirs, so convergence is likely.
No.
China does not attract or encourage immigrants, and due to its current fertility rate of only 1.1 will lose 1/2 its population in the next 70 years. Then another half in the next 70 years becoming a huge country with only 350M inhabitants.
China will eventually become irrelevant.
Currently they are good at producing artists concepts and announcing plans.

Well Japan population and South Korea population are in decline and have low birth rates and very high aging population and been so for a few decades now. They have a very low immigration rate. Yet they are still economic powerhouses and will so for decades to come. It because of their exports of very high demand products such as cars and mobile phones and robot technology.
China has never been irrelevant, China is expected within a decade or a little more to be the country of the biggest economy in the world.
Well China produces more STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduates aged between 25 and 34 rising 300 percent up to 2030 compared to just 30 percent in the U.S. and Europe. According to the World Economic Forum, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) has become a pretty big deal in China's flourishing universities. In 2013, 40 percent of Chinese graduates finished a degree in STEM, over twice the share in American third level institutions.https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmc...h=6409f1268ae7
In other words more people in China are studying science, technology, engineering and maths in China universitys than the USA and Chinese tend more to study enmass on that compared to westerners these days.
BTW China is cracking down on feminine men and embracing masculinity for its men, while the USA a man to be feminine is almost celebrated, such as drag queen story hour where a drag queen reads to young children in libraries in USA, and gender fluid and non binary studies is embraced in the USA pubic schools, yet it won't happen in China schools.
Promoting gender fluid and feminizing boys especially on young children in the USA is one of the reasons the USA will decline as a nation.
I not homophobic or anti transgender yet what the main focus in schools should be maths, science and English, and get rid of its gender fluid crap. Once they leave school a boy finishes school and graduates, etc and wants to explore their feminine side or gender fluid side go right ahead, but these topics should not be pushed on young children.

We can only hope this occurs before China supplants the US as the primary global power.
If uncle Joe decides to place the US military in Ukraine, I fully expect China to invade Taiwan.
Does anyone want to see the US in a two-front war, like WWII?

I didn't realize China finally dropped that stupid 'one child' law, good they finally did that. Wake me up, when they do allow free speech there, and don't restrict that stuff. Heck you know things are bad when China's government doesn't allow Google to operate in China, and those living or visiting China have to use specialized VPNs of their own to quietly access Google. Isn't that really awful?
