I dont think that would be possible in my humble opinion because there are a lot of countries that has a great power to rule the world like US and I dont think that the China can beat US. In reality nobody can defeat USA because they have the greatest machineries, weapons and equipment and their soldiers are well trained and ready to fight at any moment.
Many countries assume that if imitating is a solution, then many countries will imitate as did China because essentially imitating it is a process of repetition in order to become skilled. Practice makes perfect and excellence is nothing but repetition. Although China was initially named as an imitation country, China can now modify and even innovate. But the transformation of China from a developing country into a great power country in a few decades is an extraordinary achievement. Even China shifted American dominance in trade and financing.
Anything possible in America which is famous as the home of the brave and the land of a free. Currently, China is not able to eject America as a world hegemon because America has won experience with higher flight hours and consolidated power. Especially if the arms war that eventually becomes the cornerstone of the completion of competition China vs. America, China will think again.
