"until the wise Chinese ... take over the mantle of the world’s rightful ruler"
I don't know about 'rightful ruler', but the extremely potent combination of capitalism with communism, and their committment to AI. make China a fomidable player on the world stage. Their 'One Belt, One Road' iinitiative presents a very powerful competitor to the worlds' democracies.

While we squabble over leadership in the USA, China is patiently playing the long game. Our in-fighting is the cliched 'music to their ears'.
Though it may be years, or decades off, the coming Great CyberWar will be every bit as de-stabilizing as previous world wars, and probably won't even require those messy nuclear weapons.
