Four reasons why China is not ready to lead the world though US leadership is dying:
1) Trump will continue doing his best to contain China.
Thus far most what he has done is both catapulting China to super power status and making the US increasingly irrelevant.

China has too few bases around the world, which significantly limits its global influence. Meanwhile, building more bases during peacetime is too sensitive, and can't be accomplished in a short time.
If China's maritime trade starts being affected you will see this happen. Much like Russia is now doing naval convoy escort for its oil transports.

Like US, China's economy is also problematic. CNY is also not ready to become a global reserve currency. Gigantic paradigm reforms are needed in China's economy.
Wrong. China is already reducing its US dollar use in foreign trade. Yuan already accounts for most Chinese foreign trade transactions. This will continue to accelerate.

Elon Musk cannot become the President of the United States due to his failure to meet key requirements of the US Constitution. main reason: Not a US citizen by birth

According to Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution, a presidential candidate must be a "natural-born citizen of the United States." Musk was born in South Africa (1971) and became a US citizen through naturalization in 2022. This prevents him from running for president
He can become leader of party and have a puppet president.

4) China's current 2035 vision doesn't tell too much about its global interference. Which means its leaders are still not ready to do too much abroad.

US has demonstrated leadership not the one European expected like Iran conflict that converted NATO summit into Trump summit.
but i think European prefer China to be kind of Super Power that can rescue them from all the dependencies and protect from threats. but can China rescue Europe and become real Super Power. Not in current form. It does not have Civil Aviation industry comparable to Boeing/Airbus or bases. and the threat is not just this Russia/Ukraine conflict but combination of Hard and Soft Power that is growing leaps and bounds.

The global titanium landscape is concentrated in a few key regions, including China, Japan, Russia and Kazakhstan. From these, Japan focuses mostly on the production of wrought titanium, while China lacks high-grade titanium to export.

And while the EU has successfully compensated for the loss of Russian and Ukrainian titanium supplies following Russia's aggression against Ukraine, risks to the titanium supply chain persist and Russia continues to hold significant influence in the global aerospace industry as the world's largest producer of aviation-grade titanium.

According to French intelligence, China has been smearing the Rafale for years to undermine its sale to other countries confirming China has a time machine.
China probably had reports from the PAF about J-10Cs facing Gulf Rafales during exercises and concluded from then that it was trash.
