China could never attack, invade and rule America and America could never attack, invade and rule China. No t under any circumstances or conditions.
Other than Taiwan [a big other...I live in Taiwan], I don't see why the relationship has to be confrontational.
Of course, economics is another matter. China now is like the US in the late 19th century, with only [possible] looming environmental and [almost certain] demographic collapse / chaos to hold it back.

Famous last words. China will not let their economy falter if they cannot get natural resources and are making sweetheart deals with many s. american and african countries literaly in effect knocking the US out of the picture if push comes to shove.
Once China and India really get buzzing they are not going to need little old USA and it's miniscule 300 million people. Especially after they drain our technology and proprietary knowlegde with the help of american ceo's wanting cheap labor to boost their profit margins so they can buy that 2nd yacht or 4th mansion.
Could never invade?
They already have.
When Communists steal our secrets, when they are non signatory to the INF (thereby threatening our Asian allies, in a manner in no way different than the USSR, back when, with their SS-20s), when they supply rogue states and proliferate, and when they slowly, inexorably, prepare, mostly in the shadows, for great war (why else would one want Tu-95s, Tu-22Ms, ICBM subs, or a blue water navy?) - confrontation will happen. Is all of this news to you?
