The western powers should not clown themselves to underestimate China's power and will to stand up to any challenges, be it military or financial.
A stronger China will inevitably emerge from a weaker US. Nobody can say China cannot lead the world to supersede US. It has all the ingredients, the finance and the infrastructure for the role, so it begs the question why not?
well...my point in posting that article is that:
USA may be a strong mighty military leader....but inner core(financially) is nothing but WEAK !
China becos of its current economical/financial mighty...CANNOT exist or expected to LEAD the world!
in other words...they are INTERCONNECTED like a SIAMESE TWIN...one dies..the other will soon follow..... :D

Old bones and ancient mindset...although...are the pillars to tradition and culture...but...also the barriers to progression and improvement.
Barbaric behaviour holds no key to the future...but lay a path to destruction.
China's military studies Treasury sale as Taiwan 'retaliation'
Senior officers suggest dumping bonds to punish U.S. for arms sales to Taipei
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Several high-ranking Chinese military
officers want Beijing to sell off U.S. Treasurys as a part of measures
to punish Washington for its recent approval of new arms sales to
Taiwan, according to a report Wednesday.
A U.S. sovereign-bond sale was part of broad retaliation measures under
study by military personnel at the National Defense University and
Academy of Military Sciences, according to a Reuters report citing
interviews with the officers that appeared in the state-run Outlook
Weekly.
The Chinese weekly cited comments by three military officers -- two
of major general rank and one senior colonel (the Chinese equivalent of a
brigadier general) -- with a sell-off of U.S. bonds among an array of
retaliation moves, also including stepped up military spending and troop
deployments focused on Taiwan.
China's military has no direct role in setting policy for the management
of the nation's foreign-exchange reserves, however, and it's not
believed that Chinese policy makers are seriously considering dumping
their U.S. Treasury holdings.
Still, the proposal echoes other recent comments for China to use its
large holding of U.S. sovereign debt as leverage in foreign policy
disputes.
