Don't you threaten me with a good time.
Doesn't matter. Capitalism hegemony isn't going away
Even Bloomberg admits that China will grow faster than the combined G7 over the next five years. The question isn't if capitalist hegemony will end, but when.
Your logic (and that of some other people who replied) lingers on the premise that China's "ascension" (for the lack of a better term) equals end of capitalist system. I disagree with that idea
It's just historical materialism. China is building up productive forces that are pushing the limits of capitalist relations of production. Those limits will inevitably be "burst asunder" so long as the planet is still habitable and capital refrains from a nuclear holocaust. As Samir Amin said, it's either socialism or barbarism.

Wasn't it Rosa Luxemburg?
Gah! Yes indeed, she said it well before Amin was born.
Even so, the presence of a capitalist world hegemon is the biggest factor stifling anti-capitalist movements at the moment.
Even if the end of US unipolarity leads eventually to unipolarity for another capitalist power, the transition period in between these two situations will have a higher revolutionary potential and can prevent another capitalist world hegemon from ever emerging.
That would be true if everyone had this same defeatist attitude...
The rise of China and the fall of the West could pave the way to socialist movements in the Global South, don't you think?
Honestly? No. No, I don't
Good
It's not "If", it's "When".
FASTER, FAAAASTEEEERRRRRR 
Inshallah
it will be
No, it already is
He’s doing a lot of yapping for a guy that’s no longer Prime Minister. Does he want his job back?
he hustling for an "advisor" job in a MIC company, if he doesn't already have one.
We can only hope.
