China's economic growth in recent years has been remarkable. However they are far behind when it comes to democracy. Many major nations aim to become the world's largest economy but each follows a different path. The methods used by the U.S., China and Russia vary significantly.
In terms of democracy, countries like China and Russia can't come close to the U.S.. However due to their last presidential choice, the U.S. has started to drift toward their level. Americans will pay the price for their poor decision for the next four years.
Meanwhile China may become the world's largest economy but it won't attain the power to rule the world. A unipolar world is no longer possible.
One main reason why Chinese economy has grown up to level of US is because of their policy to avoid wars and conflicts. China is not spending much of his budget in fighting wars with other countries rather on building domestic infrastructure and industrialisation. In 2019, Jimmy Carter had a phone call with the then US President Donald Trump in which he "emphasised that China’s avoidance of wars had allowed it to focus on economic development, positioning it to surpass America". It's time for US to avoid conflicts so that focus should be on economic growth and US government know this.
