Why is China the only country that seems to be challenging the USA for global dominance, what about other countries?
Why does China seem to be the only country that challenges the global dominance of the United States?

The reasons why you think China is challenging the world dominance of the United States are: first, you know that the United States wants to rule the world; Second, you have listened to too many American-made propaganda materials, telling you that China is challenging the world dominance of the United States. You need to use more critical thinking.
The United States has used force, intimidation, invasion, extortion, political intervention, murder and torture in the past 70 years to become the most dominant country in the world. It marginalized about half its population to build an army 10 times larger than the second largest. It wants to rule the world in the way of thinking of Rome, Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan.
It plunged itself into the biggest debt burden that American taxpayers should bear in all economic history. It is now trying to force the rest of the world to support its extravagance, pay for its mistakes and realize its dream of world domination.
In the past 30 years, China has become the world’s largest trading country, the world’s largest manufacturer and the world’s largest consumer market. At the same time, it has lifted more than 500 million people out of poverty, built huge infrastructure projects in China and around the world, and did all this without firing a bullet or throwing a bomb.
They also support the surplus of the United States by investing huge debts in the United States and help them maintain the economy. Because of China’s labor force and manufacturing capacity, the United States is the largest billionaire’s home in the world.
In 2017, the United States sold more American-made cars in China than they did in the United States. All American franchise fast food restaurants sold more fast food in China in 2017 than they did in the United States, which is really doing something.
After all this, the stupid and short-sighted American political authorities called China a threat.
Yes, they are a threat. They threaten to bring a little peace to the world and do more mutually beneficial trade, which the American war-dependent economy will not be able to adapt to.

The United States or the ruling class in the United States is seeking global dominance. China is a major obstacle for the United States to achieve global domination. However, China does not seek global dominance, but as long as they remain an independent and sovereign country, they will become an obstacle to American goals.
In the process of seeking global domination, the economic and military resources of the United States are already stretched. If the United States loses the possibility of exporting debts to foreign countries through the status of the US dollar reserve currency, then economic collapse is a possibility. A large number of debts, out-of-control deficits and rising interest rates may lead to other collapses. The Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low at present, but this encourages the growing bubble and does not solve the problem.
Once the credit and debt bubbles burst, the United States may lose control of some client countries in the subsequent turmoil, because it does not have enough resources to maintain control over various places, so the strategic shift is to control the remaining independent countries through brute force.
Therefore, the strategy will shift from controlling the remaining independent countries through regime change or humanitarian bombing to ensuring key vassals in strategic areas, and attacking independent countries such as China, Russia and Iran through sanctions wars, or threatening to launch sanctions wars against wavering allies or non-aligned countries such as Turkey or India.

I don’t think any country in the world wants to challenge the United States, more like the United States feels threatened by it.
For many years, it was the Soviet Union, when Japan rose to the second largest economy, and then Japan. After 9/11, the United States began to fight terrorists because of the terrorist attacks on its own soil. When the price of oil jumps to the roof, it becomes Russia. During Obama’s second term, China has been promoted as the next country to challenge the United States. Trump just took a more straightforward approach than Obama, calling it Asia as the fulcrum.
Therefore, at any time, there are always some people as target challengers, and now it’s China’s turn. I can bet that Russia and all terrorist axis countries should be gratified that another country is being paid attention to.
