So because China fast gaining on the US, the world is ending?
It's almost baked in the cake that China will overtake the US in GDP, probably within the next 15 years at current rates but average salaries (GDP Per Capita) will, absent some sort of crisis, take decades to equal the US so will actual total personal wealth take even much longer to catch up.
For around 150 years UK was the superpower and the world reserve currency was UK Pound. Around 1920 onwards, the US started to take over from there. Now it's China that's accelerating big time and the next century belongs to China. That said, the US is not going away anytime soon - it will always be one of the largest and most powerful country/economy in the world and probably not fall out of the top 3 in your lifetime.
