I am pretty sure that China is already a super power. They have the most foreign currency reserves in the world. They have one of the biggest economies in the world. They have nuclear weapons. They have a very large military and one of the strongest military's in the world. They hold a seat on the security council at the UN.
What more do they need for you to think they are a super power?
Is not a ruse that China has the paraphernalia of being in the world power mark but they are not there yet, not when US is still playing the big brother. Talking about having one of the strongest military in the world, there are so many countries that surpass them. They have large army population but I don't think strongest.
Meanwhile, I think euphoria of having what it takes to get to that mark was why they took that harsh decision on cryptos thinking the world will crash but we already seeing how bitcoin is still moving
