Actually the rise of China may actually lead to a troubling world order. Over the last 60 years the world has benefited from American hegemony as having one country lead the world has resulted in relative peace. It is in times where multiple countries vie for leadership that the world usually enters a period of instability that in the past has led to conflict and sometimes devastating war. World War 1 and 2 were the result of Germany challenging British supremacy and before that England and France fought for centuries over global supremacy resulting in many wars. I fear China's rise will lead to confrontation as its in human nature to fight in such situations. It would be better for the world if China bows to American supremacy for the rest of history and let the world live in peace instead of provoking a conflict that could destroy all of mankind.
