Also, a lot of it depends on how much of it's culture China is able to export. I could see certain places accept the Chinese language, ideologies, arts etc. in exchange for greater trade/economic benefits. How openly and rapidly the world accepts/imports Chinese culture(and not just it's money) will determine if it has a legitimate hegemonic future.
